Literreal translation of agbo-ile in english means " cluster of houses " .

KnowAll:
Those brown roofs are what they call agbo-ile in Ibadan. Agbo-Ile means your ancestral home just like igbo's have villages. Ibadan people don't have villages they have agbo-i-les. It is what makes u an ibadan man. If u say u come from Ibadan the people will ask u which agbo-ile did u come from same like saying which village do u come from.

What about the ones in abeokuta and Oshogbo, what are they called?

Na wa oooo, so since when did the color of your roofing sheets become something you can use to measure development.. ..okay we don hear south west people are suffering yet igbos troop here to come and suffer with us.. .abeg make una use ur brain na

Historical indeed. Some who have the means are already changing their roofs and building more modern and hygienic houses, many would have done if not for poverty in the south wàste. Imagine the rats, mosquitoes and snakes there.

The igbo's especially the younger ones should understand that yoruba's live in towns not villages. In the early 1950 's out of the 20 biggest urban centres in Nigeria, 17 where in the SW. Then places Enugu and PH were villages. These SW towns have being in existence since the 1860's and we are in 2016. Some of those corrugated sheets were done between 1870 and 1900's. U cannot compare such legacy with towns that just started booming after d idoji awards of d 1970's.

I believe you

Honestly, I don't understand this crop of Nigerians. Every corner of Nigeria is a sh*it hole. So i don't get if you guys are contesting whose sh*it hole is more fvcked-up than the other.

You niggas are sick!

I was coming into Lagos 2days ago when we came to Ibadan and on getting to Iwo rd turning towards the toll gate, a sea of corrogated roofs can be seen on both sides of the road. Then it came to my mind if we could push for the corrogated roofs to become a UNESCO designated world heritage site.

This is not about dissing Ibadan and the Yoruba people. Its just that the brown roofs are begining to carve a cultural niche for itself. A daughter of Ibadan also tittled her book "under the Brown Roof".

Brown roofs of Ibadan is my brainchild on nairaland since 2013.

Hmm, a long way...

Afonjeezxy never change roof since 2016
