THE PLACE CALL ABIRIBA

I am a town. Indeed a town with a difference. I am born of a divine creator. Discovered of lucky ancient explores who over hills, plains and valleys wandered in search of me. The promised land of Joy and happiness.

   Mother nature had endowed me with beautiful scenery and landscape. Shrubs and trees, undulating topography  and rolling hills, gentle valleys and fresh water to irrigate my plains and farm lands.

  The divine creator has blessed me with devoted, talented and patriotic citizens. Clergymen, business tycoons, merchants, financial wizards, industrialists, educationists and professionals who in high esteem hold me in their daily prayers, who their hearts felt praise for me, all day sing   who the bedrock of my greatness form.

   I am a city ruled by Democratic monarchs, men of honour and integrity. I am a symbol of progress and unity, liberty under law, democracy through equality and indeed a hallmark of freedom and justice for all. Communal effort and rich cultural heritage for the secret of my success.

   I am a beloved and beautiful city. A home for all. I am adorned with ultra modern buildings that smile at on-lookers .
My social amenities are second to none. My legendary"ACHI TREE" and " ISIMOKOTO LAKE" herald many a visitor  into my Bossom.

   I am a symbol of wealth and plenty.
You may call me an 'EL- DORADO'
you may call me ' A CANAAN'
            OR
 You may call me ' AN UTOPIA'

              BUT
men of honour call me
    SMALL LONDON

   Yet ABIRIBA still remains my name.
