just like when people say lekki,u need to ask the person that hope it is not jakande estate in lekki or ibeju lekki extension.or those core riverine area in lekki where you see fishermen everywhere..........there is lekki and there is lekki...lol......most of these highbrow areas have their own ghetto part that people don’t often talk about...

This shows you the damage IPOB and their mentally-ill leader, Nnamdi Kanu, did to Igbo people by insulting and antagonising all the major tribes in Nigeria everyday for over a year.

i love ibadan. I've always been skeptical about that place until i visited oluyole estate. very serene and easy going place. no traffic. and the population of THE DEVELOPERS selling wares by the walk way is zero. living in Ibadan is like Lagos 1970 before the ibos came in and destroy the standard.

SmartPolician:
Ibadan is a typical Yoruba town. If you don't understand Yoruba you are in trouble. It's a complete departure from Lagos

I hated it when I visited there for training back in the day and people I'd told my English name still called me omo ibo

Anyway, from Challenge down to Ring Road and Dugbe axes are cool, but from Iwo Road down to UI area looks horrible

samzzycash:
okay post a picture of Aba with bad roads and tell me if the house in the areas no be old brown roof houses..

Kfed4ril:


Oga shii you people just have natural hatred for the Igbos,
Why haven’t you hated the Fulani’s for the damage the have been causing for over 3byears?

Kfed4ril:


Oga is like you have never been to Abuja, you just here it, how the Bleep to you add wuse II to that list. Do you know what kind of fuckery that is.

Ikwokrikwo:
There is no proof anywhere that Ibadan is more ancient than Enugu or Onitsha, Rome, Athens or London.
None of these places have brown roofs

obainojazz:
Sango, bodija and basherun or so. Peaceful, and you could easily access markets, banks and malls.

coalcoal1:
i relocated from Lagos to Ibadan some years back. I didn't know anyone in this town. all i heard was that it was relatively cheap to live there.
it's been worth it all the way. life is easier and you can live a more quality life and still have time for your family unlike what generally obtains in Lagos.

doyinisaac:
Mehn that akobo ehn....out of every 24 hours they have light for at least 18hours.....for those that love stable power supply then go to akobo....for those looking forward to mingle with fellow wealthy people or socialize then “aerodrome GRA” is for you...aerodrome is cool and it is not far from ventura mall and u have access to UI slayqueens too...lol.......but if u like clubbing very well and u want a place closer to some good clubs then just get an apartment at bodija or agodi.......

What is special about Abuja? It's like you don't know Ibadan. Ibadan has many of the nice structures you see in Abuja. At least, there is hardly any corner I don't know in both places as I have lived there. The only difference is that the developed part of Abuja is far larger than Ibadan. Don't buy into the lies some tribalists are peddling about Ibadan here.

Ignorant people just full this thread...

I am an IB boy to d bone and i mean there is no place i do not know as i grew up there with all family though in and out...i rep RING ROAD..MOBIL/OLUYOLE ESTATE...If you want peace,ib is the lace for you,if you wan enjoy,ib get am,if you are a family man and need good schools for kids while you work,you can surely get in ib...places i would recommend but u know everything depends on pocket but you sure cant compare pricing of laagos to ib as ib is relativelly cheaper.

If you want a normal life now with constant electicity,try and find a place around Alao akala express way..over 30 clubs and pubs and hotels on this high way with security and at least 20 hours electricity and good family people living around and hard woking..no touts or thee aabouts..

Oluyole is not bad but very quiet and same as akala express..if you want close proximity to places like mall,settle for ring road,starting from Akinyemi,D Rovans hotel,town planning,Mobil-7 up road(oluyole)not oluyole Aree area,then Oni and sons,High court,Adeoyo,Olusanya,Ajeigbe,Anfani,Challenge,down to Idi odo,Felele.(Felele is a bit rowdy but they have electricity and nice stores and close to challenge where you can get a cab to any part of nigeria like a transit hub for anybody entering into Ibadan.you must pass challenge.

If you want the extra rowdy then you move to all this bode,molete,foko,oke padre and so on...then we have the Yemetu,UCH which is relatively quiet and have nice quarters...

Then you can head to AKOBO,BODIJA and houses here are not too expensive also and very serene also...educated people with close proximity to Uni Ibadan and lots of joints and malls around here also and there you have bodija market....i guess you could gauge prices as i am describing all this places but as bodija is?with 500k?you will get a 5 bed house with tiles and water and everything all set so thats how ok it is if you wanna live in ib...

400K Gets you a nice place around oluyole.felele about200k...Akala about 400k....molete about 100k...rind road about 350 k..all this places are nice places with no agberos or there about...ask any one and there is no traffic in ibadan...the roads have just been expanded to double lanes and life is generally smooth and if its food....food yapa yaski...

I presently live in VGC Lagos but i enter my IB every week and i usually catch the best of fun around mokola,eleiyele,ologuneru side where there are new settlements and hotels and there about...there are nice hotels everywhere and ladies from universities up and down...

Go check it out and i promise you it is a land doing well with no stress or hypertension..

Shalom.

Bro I served in Ibadan lemme tell you now, forestry research institute in Jericho so I know Ibadan as well, my problem is when you said people who stay in wuse II can’t afford Jericho that was when I became mad. Bro anybody that can afford rent in Garki, can afford anywhere in Ibadan talkless of Wuse II or Asokoro abi maitama.

When did development reach Enugu or Onitsha?

Terrible place..Power supply is next to Zero..I stay in Agbowo, prices of commodities are grossly inflated because of presence of student..

The area is very descent, no tout, low incidence of robbery. You will thank me later if you consider the area

SmartPolician:


Which ancient city? Please stop the cheap lies. How do you explain Abeokuta that has old houses everywhr?

The problem is that most rich Yorubas don't visit their villages, leaving their village houses to rot. Most Yoruba natives who are non-native of Lagos don't know the way to their villages. Yes, I know lots of them.

This is different from what you see in the east where people do traditional marriage in villages and always travel to the village to celebrate easter and Christmas. So, Igbos who have terrible village houses are compelled to refurbish it before those events, making our cities and villages look decent.

lonelydora:
Why the relocation? Lagos is a land of many opportunities.

I heard Ibadan is so cheap you cam take a girl out with N1500. Heard houses are cheap too.

I know this is an old thread but could you mention some of the areas with good electricity supply.

I have plans of moving to Ibadan within the next month or two.

Thanks!
