Owerri is one city whose serenity is without doubt
but yet retains traditional features of Igbo and Nigerian cities. The
city has basically 3 sides. The old Owerri area which is generally
congested and full of commercial activities. At the center of it is
Douglas road popular for its chaotic outlook that it is often referred
to as Aba or Onitsha inside Owerri. The 2nd side of Owerri consists of fairly beautiful areas with high level of social activities. The youths and students are mostly housed here. The centre of which is Ikenegbu layout but also has Aladinma housing, Egbu housing, Uratta housing, Works layout, Egbeada housing, Graceland estate and others.
The 3rd comprise of an area known as New Owerri with its centre at Concorde Hotel but extends to Dee Sam Road, Umuguma housing, World bank housing and a whole lot of estates which range from low to hig class.
Our
focus is on a street famous for its gardens and spaced out road
medians. It is known as Ojukwu Boulevard named after late Igbo
nationalist Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. It is undoubtedly the most expensive
street in Owerri as the least one can get a portion of land is above
1.5billion Naira. The adjoining areas are not left out as they are
equally expensive.
