Am not trying to spite Ibadan for any reason...one of the most disorganise state capital is Ibadan...just tour round the city and see how people build houses recklessly without recourse to proper town planning...

Everybody wanna be called Landlord and Landlady, and they build all manners of houses with clumsy outlook, even without road network.

It will take more than 50 years for any serious government to correct the anomalies associated with irregular overflow of discordant houses in Ibadan, and Nigeria at large

Disorganised but had the first TV station in Africa, Ibadan had the first skyscraper in Nigeria, first university. So, GRA in Ibadan is not well planned. Oga tell me your state of origin first.

I stays in Airport road and I know what am saying....theres no proper planning in IB and the better we agree at that...people are in hurry to build houses without recourse to planning....you can only talk of GRA, Oluyole extension and estate, bodija, probably new road and very few other places...you can never know ibadan more than me...

There's only one solution to Nigeria, sell the country to either China. USA or England.

Do having a first TV station or First university have anything to do with how a city is organised? So,you also mean that the GRA in Ibadan is the reason why ibadan is a city?
Ibadan of 2016 is a slum to Beijing of 1000AD

Thats why i have said that Nigeria would have been a better country if Britain is still ruling over nigeria today.
Op,Rome of 650AD was better than any city in Nigeria today. I still find it difficult to understand why Blacks seems not technologically inclined. We are suffering from dearth of technology,Mediocrity and inability to lead.

My friend shut your slave trap. Britain ruled Nigeria from 1897 to 1960. 63 years uninterrupted. Yet when they left we had not one university. Not one major power plant. Not one expressway. Not a single major hospital. The majority lived in village huts. With mass illiteracy + malnutrition. Yet they exported our resources annually worth countless billions. What happened to the money? Since the white is your god, how come Nigeria was an undeveloped bush after 63 years of white rule? And what was in Rome in 650 AD? Olodo. If they dumped your assss in the Rome of 650 AD you couldn't last 10 minutes.

best comparison is between Lagos in 1930 and now

Foxflames:
I just want to find out why Nigeria or should I say black are still underdeveloped. What's the problem. I mean what is so difficult in planing a city and sticking to the plan. London of 1930 had street lights with underground wiring system already in place. The roads were well built with sidewalks for pedestrians. In Nigeria, roads are built with no sidewalks, why haven't Nigerian civil enginners thought about adding side walks to road. Small issues like this speaks a lot about our Nation, Nigeria. Look at BVN or MTN sim registration. The crowd management is zero. If it were western countries, the crowd will be well controlled and stress free.

If roads in Nigeria were built with sidewalks, I guess it's an opportunity for traders, shoemakers, craftmen etc to mount their tents on the sidewalks - free human traffic; which defeats the purpose.

On the underground wiring system, with the way electricity is currently distributed via overhead means, people still steal cables and tap into electricity illegally, not to talk about what happens to what is buried underground. Illegal crude oil theft from oil pipelines comes to mind.

Our mentalities need to be straightened up first of all.

Lol, this is so true and after blocking the side walk they will quarrel with any commuter coming close to their wares on the road and when a governor tries to chase them away an opposition party will say they don't have human face. That is Nigeria.

They are not used to the sidewalks. That's why. When your white ogas built roads in Nigeria, they didn't build them the way they did in the op's picture of London with nice sidewalks etc. They used open gutter system for us, so that's what we inherited. But now we are gradually moving away from that level. Thank God for independence!

You made a fallacious statement of generalization. It seems you don't know where they call a slum. Go to Ajegunle, Badia, Bariga in Lagos that is called a slum
Does that mean the whole Lagos is a slum. Mr Man know the kind of words you use. You might say some places are not well planned but that doesn't know mean is a slum. Some part of Lagos Island have a poor drainage system does that make Lagos a slum.
Stop generalizing had it been have never been to Ibadan now I won't be here countering you.

Oga you don't what they call slum. Come to some part of Lagos you will run. ese onibale

the truth is that we have failed to develop.. and has nothing to do with colonial carnage.
the likes of Singapore and Malaysia were also colonized and yet they have all left us behind.
we can only blame our misery on "visionless" leadership.

That's unfair to Ibadan. I'm from Ibadan and I thought Ibadan was a very rough city for a long time. But about 3 years ago, I stayed in a location of choice in Ibadan and since, I just wanna stay at Ibadan.
it really depends on what you chose to see. Op painted London as an Eldorado but forgot that Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist told us more about some "unsung" parts in London.
Do you know that some people in Lagos don't know the Glory of Lagos while some in exotic areas do not know about the slums of Lagos? It all depends on what you search out for.
Let's search out for the best so that we can build this country together.

Research before typing rubbish. The 3 or 4 Asian tiger nations were deliberately made capitalist strongholds. After WW2 the victorious allies decided to create capitalist outposts in East Asia to serve as a bulwark against communism. They chose 3 or 4 nations there and granted them unprecedented financing, technology transfer, and unfettered access to western markets. This transformed them into tiger economies. Their neighbouring Asian nations like Burma, North Korea, Vietnam, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan etc were left out of this western largesse, which explains why their development is so far behind the tigers, and even behind many African nations.

Generally we are 500 yrs behind the whites... There is this sense. Of cleanliness that white possesses. Even if the. Person is poor. Here in Africa even the rich hardly maintains neat environment... That's. Why u will see someone drive through shitty muddy road and enter his mansion. U see someones kitchen filled with 1 week old refuse he refused 2 dump ... Dats why we dump refuse in the street n u see people climing it just 2 pass.... I am compelled. To believe that whites have advanced optical sense organ which helps them see. Lots of microbes inhabiting in those shitty environment n do their nest to erradicate it... Pls note that there are more animals. We cannot see than the 1s we can see... Let's keep clean and we'llhave hope of closing the gap

Read your bible ye christians....... Noah cursed canaan....nd our colonial fathers made us believe the white race were d cursed ones...but alas......we were cursed........

There is no two ways abt it.......we as d children of Ham hav refused to grow wit d world.......

It willl take africa 1000years to reach where Europe, Asia, and the Americas hav been.

We are just to stubborn to admit it.

The solution

We need to be colonized all over...(at least till d end, not like d premature "independence" we had)

I think he has a point. Is it a coincidence that the most undeveloped parts of the world are in the tropics. Even in Africa check out north Africa Egypt Tunisia etc....and South Africa in terms of organization. They don't even resemble Africans
