Interesting taxi car colors there.

Off topic, but what does "Mimiko" mean in Yoruba?

The name sounds very oriental.
mimiko is a corruption of 'famimikomi or ifamimikomi which means ifa breathed on me.

Yep you're right, it definitely sounds Japanese grin
Mimiko is from Ondo Town though.
There's an awful lot of dialect in Ondo state that sound quite Edoish than Yoruba.
This, I think, is evidence of the mixed influence of both the Bini and Oyo empires in Ondo state.
yes he is from ondo township and there are about ten different yoruba dialects spoken in ondo state alone

^^^I just don't understand them walahi......it's like they get some kinda kick out of doing it! undecided

Nigerians like it a lot. It disgusts me to the bone. Its better using markings on the road than that these their white and black stripes. I've noticed that many Arab countries do it as well.

These are pictures of same road. I personally prefer the one free from white and black with just markings on the neat road.

Personally I detest the black and white paintings on the roads which you'll rarely find on most roads in developed countries

Most of our roads are not lit at night and theory white paintings (though not luminous), will reflect light better than the original concrete colour

The roads without the markings and streetlights record more accidents than the roads with the markings and no streetlights

Inner City Akure
Somewhere after the High Court, I suppose.

Re: (Pictures) Is Mimiko Changing Akure? by nrdgeek: 6:58pm On Dec 02, 2013
Still Inner city.
Not much but not filthy either. Like how they planted trees on the side of the roads.

New Auto Mart For Car Dealers

Some bloke walked up to me and told me I couldn't take pictures in here without permission from management. I simply asked if it was a private enterprise or built by government (I was getting pissed off), he says it's built by government but I'd require permission nonetheless. I there and then disagreed with him and had to school him that since the market was built by government, it was a public place and as a Nigerian citizen I need no permission to take pictures in public. I then told him I was a lawyer and he backed off. Although I had planned to use my big DSLR camera for a change, I resorted to use my phone as I didn't want to attract any more attention.

MR. WHINNIG:
OP is busy showing us roads, real development goes beyond the construction or renovation of roads that won't last more than 2 years. Show us capital investments, show us buildings, factories, industries, etc. When will Nigerians learn

Bros nothing.No meaningful development besides the construction of the millennium schools and markets.90% of the roads you see were done by agagu regime and mimiko himself confessed this. I did some industrial projects in ondo state spanning 4years and I had very very close interraction with the bigwigs in there.The state is so rich but spending very little for the state dev
