Ahuitzotl: No matter how a monkey is groomed and given a tuxedo suit...A monkey is still a monkey.If you like build a dozen malls, Ibadam will always be seen as below......A kingslum of brown roofs.

Rassco: are you talking of the Ibadan I do business in or the one in your kolo imagination? To what end? Discourage investors to ibadan? Only kids will fall for your tricks. The rate people are relocating to Ibadan is astronomical and not even your paid propaganda can stop it.

More like 70-80% bro! Go to the real Ibadan in d slums and see for yourself. Even JP Clarke admitted it: ''Ibadan,city of gold and rust scattered among seven hills like broken China in the sun''

Thunder fire that your mouth for Quoting JP Clarke...Who is JP clarke to utter such about Ibadan. Haven't you heard of fiction b4?

Ibola's always talking trash they no nothing about. You people should go about your own business first...last I heard, the Igala people are commiting genocide on your land; slaughtering ibolas like chicken.

Tbamo:

Dude I grew up in ibadan ,but I stay most of the time now in Port harcourt, that mall is four times the size of big treat at Air Force junction which is the closest thing to a mall in port harcourt!

I know a mall is being built and should be completed before the end of the year beside govt house, but before that time nothing in PH can compare to that ( and note that's the smallest of the four different malls in Ibadan).

MsNas: True that. The market in Ibadan is big enough to accomodate the malls and also the open markets. The population in Ibadan is enough to sustain the growth and expansion of all those chains of retail marketing; people from southwest states farther inland do come shop in Ibadan anyways. What I fear is if the market women in places like Agbeni, Oje, Beere and co won't suffer because of this upward trend in retail mall business. I used to love going to those open markets as a kid and see my Mom or Dad haggling over the price of whatnot.

I've never being to any of those malls in Ibadan, but I sure would love to visit. It will be a welcome change in the way business is being done and also cater to the needs of the upwardly mobile Ibadan residents.

Awww...its on the right when you are going towards U.I from Sango bus stop. Its not as big as heritage mall, or the other one at ring road...maybe that's why you didn't instantly spot it.

Cool down guy! I have been living in Ibadan since 2008,I know what I'm taking about;more people live in the 'slum areas'.The city is transforming very rapidly though.

kolaaderin:
[s]That ibadan is where the civilization of this country started from, and u need to ask ur great grand father where he got his first chance of formal education, he will inform u that when ibadan attained that status of a city ur village king still lives on tree. [/s]

Tayras:

Its good u said "Brown roofs" and not "Rusted roofs". lol

semitunde:

Well, we went through Iwo road-Agodi-Bodija-Dugbe-Ring Road. I'm not sure it was along our route.

I saw one Mauve building at ring road though, not also sure if its the same one mentioned in sloothe's former thread.

Ahuitzotl: Ibadam slum roofs are made of corrugated iron sheets,if iron corrodes it turns brown, so there you have it....A Kingdom Brownish Rusted Roofs..

vicadex07:

No wonder...you didn't even come close

semitunde:

I honestly don't know where samonda is, though I know the name.

vicadex07:

Lol...just after U.I if you're coming from U.I to roundabout.

The mall is on the left side of the road...a unique, tall, red/grey building just before getting to Sango.

[s]You this bastard...get of this thread and go and attend to your people. The igalas are about wiping out ibos at aguleri from the face of earth.[/s]

dsonofmaan:

You and your likes are just ignorant, its simple as that. Here is a picture of Nice in France and the Tuscan Hills red roofs. The red roof, to a certain extent, are signs of ancient cities that developed and survived.

If you travel by air often, you'll notice that Lagos (the supposed most developed city in Nigeria) has its own fair share of red roofs.

OrlandoOwoh: The more Igbo people use the derogatory expression, "brown roof" on Ibadan, the more more malls are openned in the city. The malls in Ibadan alone are more than the ones in the entire South East.

Ahuitzotl: Point of correction Ibadam has a very large share of rusted roofs in Southwest Nigeria..Rusted Corrugated Roofing Sheets, a sign of deprivation,stagnation and delapidation.Red roofin tiles are a norm in ancient European cities...

dsonofmaan:

[s]When you grow up, re-read your post again and you will see that your thought are nothing but a mere expression of ethnic hate and inferiority complex. Just as with corruption, people like you are the problems of Nigeria.

I know people like you very well, this medium is your only means of having fun. You are incorrigible, so positive discussion with you is a futile effort and a complete waste of time. I wish you well, and keep having fun in your near-unconscious stupidity.[/s]

Ahuitzotl: I get am before before no be property,Ibadam has lost it, Brown roofs and mud houses....
