9jakool: No, I'm not looking for any consolation. I'm telling you reality on the ground, you are giving me cosmetic solutions. Most of the houses are older than that. I've posted the picture of Ibadan in the 1960s showing the same style of houses. Secondly, it's tin, not zinc that were used. Nigeria used to produce high amount of tin during the colonial times. Zinc actually is low in corrosion and takes longer than that to rust. Because of the easy access to tin, roofing sheets were made out of tin. Most people don't build houses out of tin anymore and global tin production has dropped dramatically. If a roof does what is supposed to do which is provide shelter, then there is no need to torn it down especially if the people occupying the space are poor. If the average Nigerian standard of living improves greatly, then we can start talking about roofs. They are not a priority right now, upgrading public infrastructure and raising the standard of living should be the focus. compare to this ones

Abagworo: OP don't take Nairaland too seriously as so many guys here are clowns toying with people's feelings. Most Nigerians know Ibadan and the fact that the main old city is full of rusty roofed Houses and the newer parts are as beautiful as a any of the modern cities in Nigeria with even better facilities. It's all politics and calculated taunting. Every city has rusty roofs in some parts but the only difference is that Ibadan is a megacity and hence has more of everything. inaemenkogheri too much have you been to ibadan be4 forget all those their online pic 90% of ibadan is brown roof okay see this pics

Travel › A Travel Guide To Owerri by arinze2015(op): 7:14pm On May 06, 2017 |
Nigeria - The Giant and Heart of AfricaBeautiful Landscape and WaterfallsA travel guide to OwerriOwerri is a town situated in the Southeastern part of Nigeria, right in the heart of Igboland and is the capital of Imo State. It is home to approximately 400,000 people and measures 40 square miles. In the East, Owerri in bordered by the splendidOtamiri River, and in the south by the Nworie River. Also, you can arrive very easily here by plane, on Sam Mbakwe Airport or by car, on the Douglas and Weathral Road.The fact that tourists have so easy access to Owerri is good news, because thetown is a wonderful place, with many things that are worth being visited. For example, Oguta Lake is by far one of the best places in Nigeria, as well as the largest in the Imo State. It is a natural lake which was formed in a depression and has a huge cultural and spiritual value to people of Awo, Oguta, Nkwesi and Orsu. During the civil war, the lake was used as amarine base, and it also served as an evacuation port for the United African Company. Today, it is none of these things.It is only a beautiful place to go on a cruise,of play golf on the course near the lake.Moreover, to continue your holiday visiting tour, you can have some fun and check out the Owerri Amusement Park. Nigerians really know how to have fun, especially when it comes to spending quality time with their family. This is a great place to make everlasting memories with you children and friends. Next, you can make a stop at the Nekede Zoo. This islocated at the old Nekede in Owerri and is acomplex, fully-equipped garden. Visitors can admire here different types of animals, from Ostrich, Lions and Monkeys to Pythons, Guerrillas and Crocodiles. Birds do not miss from the picture either.Finally, end you day with a little more culture at the Mbari Cultural & Art Centre. It is situated right in the town’s center and is an open-air museum that houses superb arts monuments that you will surely love.Fo
