Weekend Pictures - Out and About Asaba

Posted in: , ,
I have left Asaba and don't know when I will be back. But the memories continue...


The state secretariat annex


New CBN office on Marryam Babangida Way


State house of Assembly


Elders deliberating in front of the House of Assembly. Wish the members were as honorable as their names


Campaign headquaters for PDP and the Jonathan-Sambo ticket




Nnebisi Road - Asaba High street if you will...


Not sure who, statue at junction of old Anwai road


Police doing their usual


Delta State university, Anwai


Palm Plantation and Press for the school's Agric Econs Faculty. There was no one there or I would have bought some palm oil for my stock. :)


A fast food place, no ad but I got good ice cream there.


A church on summit road, isn't it interesting how they're taking over all factory and warehouse looking buildings around?



Ogbogonogo Mordern Market - Very busy indeed. That water tank in the background was our marker when we lived in Enugu and visited Asaba at Christmas that we had arrived.


A statue of the Omu (Women's Leader and voice), I think


St Josephs Catholic Church Asaba, over 100 years old


Grand Hotel Asaba


Makossa Dancers at the Live Band Stage of the Jetty Bar




Christmas Tree in front of the Hospital


Free Viewing of Cable TV - seen in three different spots. Seems to have caught on especially for football matches.


Christmas Decorations


As the sun goes down - streetlights come up


Night about town






The lighted tree..
