alaoeri: And they say osogbo is creek, so fine place even they there.

Don't be fooled by Nairalanders comments, and don't believe everything they say

Been to this city twice, quite clean and peaceful. And the people are just 2 friendly and welcoming, a prefrence to ibadan in so many ways. Pls, keep it up.

Go to: www.osundefender.org for news/events happening in Osun state. My 2cents

Seriously am thrilled by this pics, i served in Community high school Otaefun, Osogbo but never heard the opportunity to take any picture of the City. I missed my house at Kolabalogun, Olorunda.

Osun Omoluabi

Paul John: Their major business is hotel services

yes....hotels dem yapa here o.
Leisure springs, royalsprings holiday inn, hotel de charity, hotel de celebrity, hotel de comfort, hotel de royality, sazo, mankuns hotel, brymor hotel, ripples hotel.......and countless motels, and as already mentioned, the electricity situation here is okay

The city is notorious with selling plaintain chips, bush meat, pure water, fruits and ewedu soup. Their gals are not usually clean, I mean dirty bras-s. No five star hotels.

Wats special about these pictures? I thought I'd see beautifull houses and hotels. All I can see is roads that's just the same as the one that's in front of our house.
Pls u guyz should show me somthing that wud make me wanna com visit

I agree. This place is a dung heap. Lol

Osun state is very calm and peaceful and the crime level is very low, the people are humble and friendly and they value their culture. I am not from there but l know the place.

Please don't compare Oshogbo to Ibadan any time. Ibadan might be bigger and more industrious, but she's too dirty and rough. I'm always discouraged anytime I'm going to Oshogbo from Lagos
But I think this their present governor is doing better, let's wait and see how it's going to be in 2015

The hand of Esau,the voice of Jacob!I hp this is not a paid advert.

Osun wey no dey pay student bursary wo ni, I quickly run go Ogun back then.
Anyway I'm stil proud of d state, filled with intelligent pple, highly cultural & humble.
Stil remains d most priced Int'l tourist state Nigeria has got (if d govt is serious)

I'll try better next time. Most of them were taken from inside a vehicle.

THE GOOD
Yea. Osogbo is a peaceful city, no doubt.
The improvement in the power sector had little or no impact here cuz there has always been upto 18hrs a day power supply. Infact, people dnt shout UP NEPA! here unlike other places I've been to. They're use to short period light out.
The roads are good even inside remote villages.
The transportation fare here is very cheap. Imagine bike will take u same place a bus will take u wit 50bucks for the same price. If its in Enugu, for same distance, bus will be 70/80bucks while the bike price won't be less than 150bucks
THE BAD AND THE UGLY
If you want to make real cash as a graduate, 4get Osogbo unless u go for bank job.
In housing, My village has more beautiful structures than Osogbo. Yes! We have mud houses here in the capital city with loads of ancient buildings.
Even in the capital city, most of'em dnt understand English, even teachers. Imagine a yoruba corper in my school was asked to teach the students English language with yoruba. Too bad.
The road needs expansion. Esp Kola balogun, Igbono, Oja oba, Isare aro, Station road and their likes.
When people talk abt hotel in Osogbo it amazes me. Go to Enugu state or Imo state then u will knw what it means with a state having big and numerous hotels.
Some peopke are talkin abt ACN, what has Aregbe done? Is it the O'yes that he pays 10k every mnth for sweeping the roads, teaching, and other things? He killed the Education sector with his no money to school order. No PTA, No WAEC fees, no extra moral lessons. Thus the teachers leaves teaching for o'yes and corpers. The students are so dumb! Imagine 38 students failed out of 85, with 22 promoted on trial.
Osogbo or Osun is really far beyound development, imagine almighty DIAMOND & GTBANK has only but one one branch in gbongan road here in Osogbo.
Though peaceful, but am always prayin while in bank cuz bank robbery is a norm here with sporadic shooting.
I can go on and on but let me stop here.

this is part of the reason why Nigeria will never progress. We celebrate mediocrity. Someone has taken pictures of average areas in the state which he feels are good enough for the camera and then post them and here you are hailing. The choice of places to photograph was obviously selective. Even at that the pictures do not show that Oshogbo is developed enough, contrary to what he is trying to portray

Osun for life! Carry go!

Is the bold an ACN thing? I heard Ajimobi was doing the same in Ibadan. They find reasons(maybe genuine) to sack existing and therefore more experienced teachers and then replace them with the O'yes people. the effect of that is baffling.

@Nairastake
You're correct about some of the things you highlighted.
You're comparing Oshogbo to some other cities in Nigeria, isn't that unfair? The state was cropped out of Oyo 1991. And I'll tell you that states created that same year or after are not many that beat Osun, not talking of oil producing states. So please spare the state.

I know most of you guys that blame Aregbe and criticizes most of his moves, isn't it because he didn't give people space to chop money any how? my bro get used to him. I'm sure you're one of those peeps who praises the former guy(Oyinlola), because he spends lavishly

Paul John: Moving closer to Oshogbo, all the way from LAG

The first and second pictures is a federal road and the main enterance to oshogbo from ibadan

the third and fourth pictures are the state secretariat

Anytime am in Osogbo, i always find it very difficult to leave on time, i'm proud to be an indigene of Osun State. We used to go four days without power failure. I so much love my state

Osun a gbe wa º°˚

you no see my secondary school to take pictures? Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo
