People renovate their houses periodically where I come from. 50-60% is too way off the mark

Here in Obosi, Anambra state..
It's difficult to spot a bungalow, let to say zinc house or rusty roof...

Buildings here are clustered and is 4, 5, 6 story building and above...
obosi is a new settlement... Is every area in Anambra like that..

My settlement here in bodies Ibadan.. You will hardly see bungalow or roof with zinc...

Exactly my point.
You want proof of brown roof in anambra?

And besides you can not compare the size of ibadan which is up to the size of the SE put together.

Ibandan tends to absorb more while anambra less with more visible development due to her size.

It doesn't make sense to litter a city with outdated houses. Houses should be renovated as needed. I know houses built 60 years ago in the east with new roofs or repainted walls. That way, the oldness of the house doesn't get too obvious

3 bedroom flat in town is 60k a year which can not even rent a room in owerri. Cheap green taxi at 20naira a drop. Sasha, dugbe cocoa house and orita challenge.

And if that's been done in ibadan as well you expect it to be as visible/obvious like it is with anambra considering the size of ibadan. Which close to the whole of SE put together undecided undecided?

what are you talking about? That's how to judge a city.. Old bad bad settlement and new settlement.. . New York as an example has Manhattan with all the sky scrappers and stuff and at the same time has Queens and some part of new Jersey etc which are old and eye sore..
Lagos has vi, Ajah, lekki and at thesame time has mushin, aajegunle maroko etc.

South Africa has Johannesburg and at the same time soweto...

Do you expect the entire Ibadan to be an Eldoradoor what?

Even Abuja with all the maitamas still has its guagualada...

Not everyone can afford to live nice areas in a particular city.

So, people don't renovate houses there because the town is large? No, its attitude. You don't just litter a city with old houses , it makes it look rustic.
In Ibadan, all the old houses are still occupied, so it's not as if the houses are left for new ones.

Ibadan people are courteous,accommodating,social yet 'yabis' is a norm.grin grin The only Yoruba tribe that will abuse You,yet You will be reeling with laughter with their different adjectival phrasesgrin grin grin.There is always an object to relate their yabis with.
I remembered one young Ibadan hawker insult a taxi driver (pronounced taa-seen) ,the driver was at fault but passed a rude remark at the yr young girl..only her to reply " Woju bi ina beetle " meaning hes got eyeballs the size of Volkswagen beetle's headlamps

Also they talk a lot..chai chai chai..Ibadan indigenes are cool people to be with.

Now if you think Ibadan people have funny accents,try Ijeshas or Ijebus.grin grin grin

I served in ibadan, inside the polytechnic to be precise.... I enjoyed every moments of experience I had in ibadan... Visiting dugbe mall every thrice a week, and other exciting places to be.... The only thing I can say is that ibadan people likes Amala so much.. And I also enjoy seeing them having arguments, the scenario is always hilarious cos of there accent..

Cheii
This is one of the reason why I don't enjoy engaging anambra fellows. grin
You still don't get my point.

Isn't it obvious that what's been done is your tiny anambra is happening is ibandan?

People move/migrate from place to place, move from a place to a better one.
Until you can prove me wrong that what's been done in anambra isn't been done in ibadan whatever you say is base on assumption grin

Nigeria is development mr, not developed abeg grin

The bigger a city is, the more developed it should be if there is population . Oyo receives more allocations than anambra.
Re: 10 Common Misconceptions About Ibadan. by eleshin(m): 5:44pm On Jun 19, 2015
I served in IB and I had lots of funny experiences. Very cool and cheap city to stay and yes, Ibadan is very dull for a typical Gidi boy like me. I learnt how to eat amala from Iya Ope (Apata), iya kisun (Sango), and Iya Dunni (Challenge). They are very lazy tho, they open shops by 9-10am.

You know you just lied? As at 2013 that I finished my service two of my friends got theirs at 250k nd 270k respectively in Mokola. How can you say 3bedroom in IB is 60k?

I used to have several misconceptions about the city.

it took one weekend away from school to change my mind. need I say that I had so much fun, I didn't want to come back to lagos.

I won't even mind relocating there because it's really quiet and economical to live there.

Ibadan is a city that is very accommodating. Forget about sentiment. Ibadan is one of the Great Cities in Africa. Try and get to Ibadan today you will discover some interesting places to enjoy yourself. To be frank, it is a peaceful place to be and you will love to dwell there.

Dang!!! Those girls got lines. They got very crazy replies for every statements that has the slightest resemblance to an insult. It got to a point we had to nickname them "Oyo mesi" (Oyo knows the best reply).
