You mean to tell me that back in 1947 the very proud Yellowbars had not discovered tar for roads?

Haha,yet here daily we're bombarded with boasts of how advanced the South West is.

In those days....most regions had not discovered ''tarred roads''.

Plus....most people did not have cars to drive back then.....so the Colonial govt decided not to tar the roads.(because it would not have made financial sense....plus we already had a rail system....albeit favoring the export of agric goods)

(In favour of the SW....they had a university under construction then! )

Good memory for those who forecast.
Don't think that your empty land at Ofada, Ifo or Otta will never become city like today's Ikorodu road, its a matter of time and be optimistic like my father used to tell me.

Op, it would have made more sense if u show us how the road looks like now for those of us who don't know it. Before and after things

Wow!

Wow

Nah...probably youre just dumb enough not to knw that advancement in infrastructure around a particular area puts many other things in place
