Ibadan Isn't, Lagos Is The Largest City In Africa. by gbanikiti(m): 7:26pm On Aug 28, 2014 |
So, I went to ibadan to see its holds, all they got is 2 tertiary institution, a mini-zoo, a mini-museum, hotels, banks and one old cocoa house. I doubt if its a city or town. Right now, some cities like owerri, port harcourt et al are all ahead of ibadan. I strongly think Lagos is the largest city. I stand to be corrected though. But if its deduced by landmass, kano and kaduna should take the slot. Table your arguments. 2 Likes |

Ibadan is the largest by landmass, you can see it on google earth...though I think Lagos has surpassed it, a lot of the portions of Lagos aren't considered Lagos City technically. Ibadan is a lot of people's village if that makes sense from an Igbo standpoint. It's simply their indigenous home and so all you'll see are houses. institutions are moved to Lagos where it's more profitable but the entire Ibadan is just an antiquated giant rural settlement 8 Likes |

Now u get my point. The cocoa house made it the largest city then,right now so many things are washed away if u ask me. |

You can never cover the whole of Ibadan on a visit. Except you are a taxi driver, you can never cover the whole of Ibadan even if you stay for a year. That is how massive Ibadan is. 20 Likes 1 Share |

The same way the capital of kano is. Which is kano. The whole ibadan isn't developed, just a few area and that can't be matched as a city. There's nothing city in ibadan walai |

yomexp: Understandably the concept of city is very new to our Eastern brothers. Ibadan was named the second largest city in Africa for sometime behind Cairo. Cairo is an old city like Ibadan. Just like Timbuktu and Kano in the century before last. 13 Likes |
