Nice pictures of the old city. @dblock.
I hope i remember to take some pictures when i visit Ibadan later this summer.
There is a tall building that can be seen when you enter the city, that is coming from Lagos/Ibadan expressway way, is that cocoahouse? I used to think it was the tall building in front of UI.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing, I'm guessing it's a good thing. Ibadan, City of Opportunities, City of Bliss. |

was born in Ijebu ode. but attended poly ibadan. Ibadan is it when i come home. Period. Plan to shuttle my time between ibadan and ijebu ode. Lagos can go in smoke for all its traffic and hard knock life.
Slow pace of ibadan and lower cost of living has done it for me.

Most of my relatives live in Ibadan. When I return to Ibadan, I'll definitely build my House there, and of course one in Ekiti. Ibadan is a great city, there are issues here and there, but everyone manages to get by. |

I'm going to set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons here. Ibadan looks to me like one huge corrugated dump of a sh**t hole. Even the "modern" buildings look like they are straight out of the fifties or sixties. 1950/60s that is, but I could understand if some people thought I meant 1850/60s. Are there no new buildings in this sorry excuse for a city? I have my tin hat and shield for the abuse I know is coming my way.  |

Sharrap, Ibadan has more soul than any city in the UK.
It is not material things that make a city something. I lived in Ibadan for Three Years, and not onece did I wish I was elsewhere. Ibadan is Beautiful, from Dugbe to Sango, From Sango to Bodija.
Ibadan is Bliss, it is the real Capital of Nigeria. Ibadan is the Older Brother of Lagos, in the olden days Ibadan was Larger than Lagos.
Ibadan is Great, it is the City built on Seven Hills. It's corrugated roofs, look like Gold in the sunlight.
My uncle relocated to Ibadan from Houston a couple of years ago, If Ibadan was such a shithole I wonder why he made the move. My relatives in Ibadan have houses larger, than any shit hole you'll find in London.
Go to Jayelola Street, Five Minutes from Premier Hotel, and you'll see my Grandfathers House, Go inside and tell me if you want to return to that Pathetic Place called the You Gay.

Jos is great. I was born there.
You can grow strawberries in Jos. In my house in Jos, we had a Giant Mango Tree, we grew the best Potatoes, Vegetables, Corn, Sweet Potatoes and many other crops.
Yeah I lived in Ibadan between 1997 and 2001. I guess that means I lived there for Four Years, not Three.
