I support the motion

Ibadan needs a state

Ibadan with ibarapa regions are big enough to become a state

IntrovertedK:
ibadan alone have more local govt than bayelsa state. I hope you know this?

Iblad0994:
While I support the motion as an Ibadan man, I think about how the rest (Oyo, Saki, Ogbomosho e.t.c) will fare if Ibadan has its own separate state. If Oyo state government is serious, they need to invest in Agriculture on a massive scale, use those Oyo, Saki, Ogbomosho as the field so that economic prosperity can reach those regions too.

We need mechanized farming supported by the state Government and not just the usual fertilizer incentives being given to farmers.

Ibadan will be more open when the Lagos- Ibadan rail is completed, although I have some trust in the current Governor (Makinde) to attract investment into the state, lets see what happens in the next 2 years.

Iamgrey5:
True, but Ibadan municipal which makes at least Four local government area is not that big

Plus ibarapa is somehow too interwoven with Ibadan somehow.

IntrovertedK:
i don't know ibarapa that much sha.i just want the govt to declare ibadan state bro.

IntrovertedK:
it is actually not that ibadan is not open you know, there is a reason why it is third most populous city in Nigeria because people rather live in ibadan cuz of it's proximity to Lagos while trying to avoid lagos trouble. I know alot of people that moved to ib from Lagos and many from other regions because of it's proximity. I believe if ibadan is to get full attention, it will compete with Lagos in everything. There are hardly cities that have 5 malls(i mean standard malls and not complex) in Nigeria except Lagos and this is a perfect example of a growing and well populated city with potentials...

APCHaram:
Ibadan, the once small Egbe town that catered to fleeing Yoruba refugees.

The world's only city to owe it's roots as the largest IDP camp in Africa.

fergie001:
Ibadan has 11 lgas, but its urban 5 is not big........

But the argument of State creation has been over-flogged....Perhaps when the leaders sit together and agree on it, its a credible argument.

But the government has not been helping either......the proximity to Lagos is what they should be tapping into for now. They are very advantageous geographically. Hopefully, GSM will do better on that.

IntrovertedK:
they can agree, we never can tell. According to someone on this thread, he suggest joining the ibarapas.

Well i believe ibadan will have her freedom someday cuz she deserve it.

Iamgrey5:
Most of Oluyole LGA
Ido LGA
Aninyele LGA

All of which were once classified as rural years back are now fully developed areas bruv.

Sometimes I just get angry at the present corp of SW leaders coz they failed to contribute on the progress of Pa Awolowo. Ibadan used to be a city with lot of prospect as it features many first among firsts in Nigeria. Cocoa house, the plantations, Odua investment, First stadium, First University (Although federal), and the headquarter of the defunct western region.

We need to bring back the old glory of Ibadan and these guys need to live up to expectation. I am of the opinion that the completion of the rail will open up Ibadan more and Makinde should please create an enabling environment for investors coz Ibadan is a city with great potentials.

IntrovertedK:
i think Ajimobi tried on his part with ibadan, i hope makinde continue from where he stopped. You know ever since the creation of states started from the defunct western region, every leader now face there state, i think this was the reason ibadan fell on it's face after.

The development of yoruba land is now in the hand of dawn commision, they are trying buh you know they can't persuade governors from other states to leave their states and focus on ibadan which is still the capital of the western Nigeria till date.

This is the reason i believe her freedom will uplift the city cuz it will get full attention.

fergie001:

Those semi-urban are larger than.....esp Ido and Akinyele..

But those 5 aren't,they are closely-knitted sef.
