things are very cheap in Ibadan, but there is no money in the place that's why people price things stupidity as if you stole them.

i love ibadan. I've always been skeptical about that place until i visited oluyole estate. very serene and easy going place. no traffic. and the population of THE DEVELOPERS selling wares by the walk way is zero. living in Ibadan is like Lagos 1970 before the ibos came in and destroy the standard.

Give me Ibadan or give me death.

Many people don't realize that Ibadan is a jewel of a city.

But please yah'all don't come and Lagosify Ibadan for us o. We don't want your tollshytes, traffic, Tinubu stuff.

i was waiting to read something like this.. You guys don't know how ridiculous you sound shouting brown roof.. Ibadan Is an ancient city and most of the old parts are definitely going to be filled with brown roof that shows nothing but the history of ibadan i wonder how you expect locally constructed buildings of 200 years to look like.. The old part is their and the other pictures up there shows the real face of the modern ibadan metro. There is nothing like real face of ibadan the old and modern areas are there for you to see...

Listed below are some areas in Ibadan that I feel people from Lagos may like to move to:

1. Ring road/ Oluyole : this is a nice area close to one of the shoprite malls. It's also close to the toll gate on the way out of Ibadan back to Lagos, so if you work during the week in Lagos, your 3-day weekend can always be complete from Friday evening until Monday morning.

It's got lovely sights and sounds, great shopping locations, great schools, and is close to a number of markets. Security is good, and rental prices are average.

2. Jericho/ Idi ishin : this is one of the high brow areas of Ibadan and the abode of many South West prominent politicians. Accommodation here is among the priciest in Ibadan. It's got great schools and is close to the popular aleshinloye market. It's also close to dugbe with its cinemas, nightclubs, malls and fun spots.

3. Bodija : this is the gravitational Centre of Ibadan. It has the biggest commodity and agricultural produce market in West Africa.

Accommodation is pricey here as well, and the most expensive schools in Ibadan are found here (though they are only a fraction of the cost of Lagos elite schools). It's close to the state secretariat and majority of government offices are located here.

If your aim is merchandise trade, then bodija is your best bet.

4. Akobo : many civil servants and academics built their houses in this area as it is one of the new and relatively undeveloped parts of Ibadan.

This may seem like a disadvantage, but it is also a big advantage as many houses here are less than 15 years old, and electricity here is above average given the presence of army and airforce barracks in the area. Needless to say, security here is first class!

akobo is a no go area until they're done with road construction, the morning and evening traffic are Lagos grade.

Akobo estate and New Bodija should have good electricity supply due to the calibre of people who live there!

What do you expect from a civil servant state? Everything slows down when salaries ain't paid on time.

There is no proof anywhere that Ibadan is more ancient than Enugu or Onitsha, Rome, Athens or London.
None of these places have brown roofs
