    • Iniobong U. ★★★★★ Today, I walked past Ibom Plaza, and it honestly made me pause. Seeing a place that holds so many childhood memories now revamped with beautiful graffiti, clean walkways, and tight security felt deeply comforting. It is one of those moments where the past and present meet, and it feels right. If you are visiting Uyo, please make it a point to stop by Ibom Plaza. Take a slow stroll around, soak in the atmosphere, and snap pictures with the iconic I Love Akwa Ibom graffiti. It is simple, but it stays with you. What makes it even more special is that Ibom Plaza sits right at the heart of the city. It is not just a relaxation spot, it is a historical place. This is where the name Uyo itself was derived from. Some places are more than locations. They are memory holders. Ibom Plaza is one of them.
    • Fashakin S. ★★★★★ I've been there few times and the environment is good with the new artistic design on the wall makes it more beautiful, except the outside and around it

    • Yessy O. ★★★★★ A big market to buy almost anything you want. From cooking items to household basic amenities to clothings/footwears to school items, you'd find them there. But be careful with your properties, especially phone, lest you go to the market whole and return incomplete!😭🤣
    • akan B. ★★★★★ It's always over crowded on the market days, but lil better on normal days. It's not organise at all, your properties aren't safe at all, so u must be conscious and at alert at all times. There is a lot of gud stuff but can get from here if u have gud eyes or taste for quality.

    • Warrie W. ★★★★ Exclusive football⚽ viewing centre, the only one you can find around Udo Ekpo Mkpo and Iniokpon Udo vicinity. Premier league and Champion league Matches are mostly shown only if it involves big clubs. The fee is 💸₦100 per match. Excellent place with 2 big flat screen TV 📺 to keep the boys entertainment 😁😁 during the weekend. P.S: Expect a very large crowd anytime its Chelsea's match day.
