The ancient city of ibadan unfortunately was overtaken by Lagos as a commercial capital. It's gradually taking its place as companies are gradually leaving Lagos for ibadan. 45 Likes 1 Share |

Nice. Good job travelwaka. Unfortunately, Nigeria has refused to take tourism seriously. Countries like Turkey, Dubai, Greece are all making money for their economies from tourism. The silly comments about brown roofs are quite ridiculous. These are things other countries would have turned around and packaged as a relic of the past. But Nigerians choose to wallow in ignorance and use it as a tribal slur. It's all your loss at the end of the day. 34 Likes 4 Shares |
