uihebom: I can even count how many upstairs in ibadan.

kingingkinging: Is it a fight?

What is propaganda in the fact that I saw a good news about my place and I have decided to post it.

If you have a problem with that please open up.

Ibadan is one of the big things with over 5 industrial estates, FDI's, etc.

Haters go and die.

South West O ni baje ooo

afam4eva:
Even Abuja is not a city to watch out for because unlike Lagos, it's not a commercial but a political city. The guy is right, Ibadan was probably named because of it's close proximity to lagos.

afam4eva:
Can you list reasons why these cities should not be rated ahead of Ibadan? Ibadan is just one big residential city. That's what it is.

dayokanu:

Why wasnt Abeokuta named or it isnt closer to Lagos than Ibadan?

Is Kano not a commercial city? So we should expect katsina too to be a City to watch out for

Is Aba or Onitsha not a political city why were they not named

Willy+willy:

Continue making mistake, Financial times listed Ibadan as one of 5 African old Zoo to watch

afam4eva:
The development from lagos is heading towards Ibadan through the Lagos-Ibadan route. Unfortunately, AB is not in this route but that's not to say it won't benefit one way or the day from Lagos.

veraponpo:
The reality you dont want to face is that Ibadan is not in the class of any eastern cities. Ibadan is well industrialized I believe after Lagos and Ogun or better than Ogun state but far better than any Eastern state. It is big, With over 3 milion people
It is a good market for Foreign direct investment, small scale companies as well as agriculture. If you dont like Ibadan, you can go and hug power plant.

uihebom: Before ibadan will develop like Festac town it will be in 20years time with serious funding from world bank. with up to 100,000 Chinese labourers.

Josh090:
Can a comment be more moronic than this?

IYA NGBALI: omo ale ni e,ko de ni da fun awom molebi e

IYA NGBALI: omo ale ni e,ko de ni da fun awom molebi e

omobadan: I don't know what they see before making Ibadan one of 5 African cities to watch. But what a lot of Nigerians don't see when it comes to any Nigerian cities beside Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt is the enormous potential other States/Cities have. Ibadan, the sleeping giant of Africa is gradually waking up from her slumber. Do people actually think the Financial Times will just pluck any city from thin air? Ibadan is building secretly and if people think the aesthestics of the city right now is the reason why they're dismissing the report, then they don't know anything about their own country. Most of the negative response is from people who can't see past their noses. This should be treated as a bit of good news but what I see is silliness. Typical of Nigerians. Keep seeing brown roofs on your way to Lagos and when foreigners start making billions off you, you go dey complain. Open your eyes people!

dayokanu:

Are you not tired of getting flogged intellectually today?

is Otta, Agbara that are developing cities also along the Lagos-Ibadan express way?

phemi01: All these troublesome & stubborn haters criticising ibadan now will still run away from their hopeless villages to go and constitute a nuisance ibadan when we mke progress. just the way they are all flooding lagos and making a mess of d beautiful lagos.

Stay in ur villages n develop it n allow d south west be.

Paul John:

May be you visit oluyole estate to understand how industrious Ibadan is. Believe me, the whole thing you call industry I your Enugu is not up to half of what's in IB. Wonder why she's the fourth most productive state in the federation, behind Lagos, Rivers(oil) and Delta(Oil)

dayokanu:

Abi ooo.

The Igbo cannibalistic leeches would come from their accursed caves and kidnapping haven to desecrate our land

Ati oko wa ba Ile je gbogbo

dayokanu: IBADAN

Paul John:

Dayo you took your time.
Was around that femi johnson(if I'm right about the name)glass house close to cocoa house, I was like wow!
