8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands
Down
  
Lagos snatched the title of the largest city in West
Africa from Ibadan and has moved on to be the largest
in Africa. But even in the face of serious banter, Ibadan
has scored points in areas Lagos wouldn’t even dream
of. Here are 8 of them:

1. Free flow of traffic.
Except on really bad accident days and during execution
of construction projects, it is very possible to drive from
a far end of Ibadan to another in less than two hours.
Just look at Lagos traffic.

2. There is enough space for everyone and
everything, Ibadan is thrice the size of
Lagos.
Ibadan has a landmass of over 27,000 sq km .
But Lagos has a landmass of 3,577 sq km with a
current population size of approximately 21 million .
Even the beaches are crowded.

3. Because of the free air and less traffic,
the people are not angry.
The heat, stress and traffic in Lagos is enough to make
someone angry forever please. even the beaches are crowded
4. Three words: cheap cab fares.
The fares is sometimes as low as #20 in Ibadan

5. Rent in the suburbs is cheap too.
This two bedroom flat in Ibadan is #350,000 per annum ,
no need to drop one kidney to pay the landlord.

6. Abundance of historic monuments and
tourist sites.
Ibadan has more evidence of Nigerian cultural
heritage than Lagos does. The best part is that those
places are very accessible. mapo, Bowers tower etc

7. The crime rate is lower than in Lagos.
While broods of petty thieves and armed robbers swarm
in Lagos, fewer cases of crime is usually recorded in
Ibadan.

8. You can totally ball on a budget.
Not like this exactly sha.

Will you move to Ibadan in the near
future?

Lagos is too stressful for you?

I think that place is the best in Ibadan for now. It has rapid development compared with Alalubosa GRA

You maybe right. One fact to that contributed to it was its relatively small space and the face that most of the land was already tarred for aircrafts.

But then we have Akobo. It has more that 5estates surrounding each other only that its too vast for it to develop rapidly. Another disadvantage it has is the road network only two major entry and exit for such a wide area.

Bros u never arrange this thing well o. Lalasticlala no go put am for frontpage it e no dey arranged o.

what contributed to slow development of alalubosa is the price and the poor roads in some parts of the estate

Akobo's location is another problem. it's located at the extreme end of the city though it's a very cool estate
