I'm traveling w/ my mom in the southwest region in April to meet family and friends. Where are the tourist attractions? Where in Lagos can I have a good time? I would be residing in Ibadan (sp?) and would need to get out perhaps, are there any hot spots in the Ibadan area?

What should I look out for?

T.T.Y.L, troll

armed robbers

armed robbers

Yeah, that's a given for me.

@sharetroll

Aggressive chicks.Some girls might see u as a tkt to the States.

where in Ibadan will you be?

I lived in New Bodija.

Ibadan is pretty quiet, it's for sensible thinking people unlike Lagos

Ibadan is cool especially seeing the landscape with the classic rooftops. I don't know anything else about the place.
I grew up in Lagos though so I know some about lagos. It's awesome.

I have no clue about tourist attractions in lagos. They're usually zoos because that's what most foreigners expect to see (animals and some more african animals). or maybe i'm wrong.

How long have you been in The States, Wes?

do you speak Yoruba, troll?

I don't speak, nor can speak it fluently or as efficient. I understand it like the back of my hand, though.

@TOH, less than 5 years. I left when i was 12.
It's a great catch

Just recently, my mom mailed me a brochure of Yoruba words, mostly prepositions to learn.

well understanding is key.

Ibadan is cool for chilling out and walking around and just talking at KoKoDome or something

if you go to Lagos be sure to visit VI and Leki Penisula

God I hate VI so bad!!!! I just want to kick those people in their faces and turn communist!

ori = top, apa = side, inu = inside, eti = edge, abe = under, ile = down, etc.

You probably wouldn't like my views on government politics either, LOL.

lol

eti also means ear . ile can either be floor or home

I cant imagine how you'll be pronuncing these words

Yoruba is a tonal language, so it can get real complicated.

indeed it can be. Only reason I learned was because when i was there for secondary school, I stayed with my grandmother and my mom's siblings and my grandmother speaks only in Yoruba thus i had to learn fast.
