Lols. Jokers!!!!

How does a random photo from Facebook serve as proof. At least show us documents on how the Yorubas built this without FG intervention.

Consolation thread!!!!!!!!

Anything to reduce the destructive effect of that awesome SE thread.

This is a federal facility! The point of the pics on that thread was to show you what the Igbos have achieved without FG INTERVENTION.

Get over it bro!!!

Good morning from Texas.

You are very correct. Decades after that picture was taken, this was the technological level of some homo sapiens/erectus.

No need for insults.

Power generation has always been under the FG. Get your facts right and stop trying to thwart truth.

Wait for documentary evidence — see pic below.

Remind me where real heads are highly sought after in Nigeria today.

Get over this victim mentality and talk like the boss you are.

Ibadan been make sense that year

This city had everything going for it in the 50s, 60s and even early 70s . Ibadan was literally the capital of Nigeria's entertainment industry cos all the creatives congregated at UI. From Nwapa to Soyinka, Achebe, Mabel Segun, Twin Seven Seven, Nwoko, Ladipo, Ogunde. Name them

All the research centres were sited there. The best institutions were in Ibadan. I read somewhere that foreigners used to come to UCH for treatment

This is a city that had malls and cinemas before they became cool. Ibadan had Queens cinema, KS Cinema, Odeon, Scala, Rex

Had shopping centres and mini-malls like Kingsway stores, Leventis, and UTC. Ibadan gave Lagos a run for it's money

I won't even talk about all the things Awolowo put on ground. That one would require me creating a new thread lol

Military rule came...Jemibewon and Tarfa. Things started to deteriorate till Bola Ige came in. He did a lot of good things, but the guy who came after him didn't sustain it. After that, years of military rule was enough for the city to fall like a pack of cards

Fast forward to Adelabu's era of Amala politics, Ibadan became the national capital of thuggery. Poverty was the order of the day.

Till Ajimobi came and restored sanity. The city is gradually getting it right again. The oldies are returning home

Today, Ibadan has 5 malls - Heritage, Ventura, Jericho, Cocoa, and The Palms. A big ass garden at Agodi. The tech scene is slowly buzzing. Lots of new GRAs, hotels, night clubs, over 22 radio stations! Food is cheap, transportation is cheap. Awesome place to enjoy life basically minus the typical Naija experience

It's just a matter of time before Ibadan regain it's glory . But a lot of work still has to be done.

Good morning from Texas.

Like it or hate it, Ibadan is far ahead of Igboland in development. For your information, the first radio /television station started here, and it was the first of its kind in Africa. It was established by the then Western Region Government controlled by Obafemi Awolowo.

It was established with Cocoa money and not money from federal government.

If you are truly commenting from Texas, then you just showed that a flaaaathead will always be stupid, irrespective of where he lives, be it Abia, Lagos or Texas.

Stupidity at its peak. Which thread are you talking about. Is it the one they displayed their inferiority complex by showing us repitive pictures from page 1 to the last page? That year, regional system was being practised before aguiyi ironsi come destroyed it probably to favour the east. But it backfired. And since then, una don dey cry victim cry. Carry your victim cry comot here. We don't care about that anymore.
