Hi out there, its really nice to connect Calabar to the world. There's lots of stuff to ramble about. The happenings in Calabar, lifestyles, people, places, events and all the hot gossip in town.

Over the years Calabar has grown from a civil service town where visitors are advised to leave before their pockets or wallets get empty to a first-class tourist haven & beehive of business activities.Calabar in recent years has become one of the places to visit in Nigeria, thanks to the visionary leadership of the former governor Mr. Donald Duke.

The name "Calabar" and its people is synonymous with so many things, for example when a married man gets posted to Calabar his wife gets scared about losing her husband to the Calabar girls. what's with this whole Calabar thing?
