It is glaring. You really don't know your hometown. You can claim Ibadan, though. Talk about benevolence and Ibadan
I visit Ibadan every year, Yes there are some good parts, Like the images the OP showed, but the fact is, that's just like 15% of the whole City. Ibadan lacks basic amenities.. The electricity is poor, there isn't even a good water system, the public schools are nothing to write home about, The road network is not that great either, the transport system is terrible! This are the little things that makes up a city and Ibadan clearly lacks them... I'm sorry if Ibadan isn't my favorite holiday destination in Nigeria. But truth is, it's just as shitty as most places in Nigeria

What is 'world class' about Abuja and Lagos?
Abuja is a world class City
1. Constant Electricity.. I can't even remember when last my Generator was fueled.
2. Good road network!
3. Good schools, both private and public
4. Good transport system
5. Clean water
6. Proper drainage system throughout the city
7. World class shopping malls.. e.g shoprite, next, grand square, xclusive stores.. The list goes on and on.
8. Really beautiful and we'll planned city.
9. Unemployment rate is minimal to some extent.
10. The security is also good!
I could go on and on, but I'll stop here..

Abuja, Lagos even Osogbo..
@The bolded: is Lekki the only place in Lagos? Just face it, Ibadan is not even an average city, by international standards.. Except if it has suddenly become Miami in the last 3 months lipsrsealed

Do I really need to start naming them? The electricity in Lagos and Osogbo is clearly better than IB's.. Now I'm not just talking of a few places, I'm talking of the city in General..
QUESTION: You stay in IB right? If yes, where in IB do you stay?

Road network is bad? Dude I grew up in ib and now live in ph and on a daily basis I miss ibadan road network! It may not be comparable to Abuja but it sure beats most cities in nigeria. It's the only city where u will call ur guys from the four ends of the city and they can meet up in one hour!

The electricity of where you visits might be bad but here in Apata axis, its okay. It's true that for most part Ibadan is shitty but same goes for each and every city in this country even the FCT is at least 60% shitty, but life is good for us who can find happiness in the little we have, thank you.

Op has forgotten to mention what the expatriates would be doing in Ibadan. Its not all about having shopping malls, estates and recreational centres. What these foreigners care about is where they can site their multi-billion dollar investment...where they can invest and get food returns for their investments... the technicians look for where they can be gainfully employed and enjoy that fat five-digits-dollar-salary.

Who do think work @ IITA,Coca-Cola , Nigerian Breweries , Procter and Gamble ,British American Tobacco and Zartech Limited. Just to name a few.

Ibadan for expatriate? Lol

If you have not seen another man's farm, you end up claiming yours is the biggest..

Now let's go with real fact, answer this: which city host more expatriate in Nigeria? Is ibadan even in the top 5?
Actually ibadan already has the second largest expat population after lagos due to its relative peace! In fact a Lebanese guy is one of the king makers in the town and the governors wife is half arab!
I had so many expat as school mates in isi so free call the census board if it's really paining you!

Well, Jos religious crises, coupled with terror attacks in the North have over shadowed all its potentials and that have ruled it out from the list.

Abuja is an average city not a world class city. You cant call Abuja "world class" city when it cant compete with other international cities like London, LA and NY
