Aba
Aba city is a state in southeastern Nigeria. It is a major transportation and industrial center. It is located in the southeastern part of the country on the banks of the river Aba. The population of the city in many ways unlike any other city in Nigeria by 2005 was about 900 thousand inhabitants, but it continues to grow and develop.

As we know from the history more than Nigerians did not suit the colonial taxation policy that triggered the uprising in 1929 known as the "Revolt of Aba Women."
In consequence, this city, even for a short time was the capital of the breakaway state of Biafra in Nigeria-the peak of the Biafran war, which started in 1967. Due to its population density is often called the city and not "elephant", you see the Africans in this regard is its views. Cottage industry and a huge number of active markets in just the same rolls.
The people of the city are very hardworking and many indigenous people are proud to call their city "African Taiwan." The city virtually costing state aid made everything that is possible to produce. Aba is a city of peace and prosperity now. If you visit Aba you can see the Nigerian Temple that was built as a commandment from God.
