Racoon:
They seem to forget that fact.

Gracchus:
Upon all the noise they make about River Niger, the river is really not that navigable, there is a reason why the only recognized fully navigable river in Africa is The Nile. The other rivers are just seasonally navigable.

That's good @ bolded

I have supported East relationship with North because it is more beneficial and productive both business wise and any thing you can term it.


Anything aside that is an anathema and people with stereotyped mind.


SE and North relationship is what is needed because it is highly mutual and not parasitic. This is my stand all these years. Business and trading.

I won't support anything less.

Nd no river in niger state

I knew it.you must drag the SS into it.

Okay, let's even keep the dredging narrative aside. How much do you think that would cost?

It's also funny That you guys are yet to realize that international laws are meant for nations that aren't allies to the Nato and nations that are weak. We may not be strong like Russia, but if you think a country like UK would pick biafra over Nigeria then you should go and ask for a refund.

Throwback:
See Lesotho below.


With all the multiple water bodies running through Lesotho, it is still trapped within South Africa, so it is landlocked within South Africa.

You now see why you are a parasite to the SouthSouth and why you need them so badly?

It's not just about oil. You need them to break along with you so you share their access to the sea and to international border with Cameroon. Or you need them to break out on their own, so that you would share a border with them, and not be trapped within Nigeria.

I hope your ignorance has been cured.

You can now open another topic to cry some more, and blame Yorubas for your unenviable location in Nigeria.

Throwback:
That you do not even understand what it means to be landlocked within the present Nigerian boundary, shows you are an illiterate that needs to be educated.

Is there any Igbo state or Igbo town that borders any neighboring country, thereby part of Nigeria's international boundary? No!

Is there any Igbo state or village that is bound by the sea, thereby exiting as an international delineation? No!

You say your villages exit to a River. Will you sail from that river and continue into Non Igbo territory because the river exits into the sea? What stops the Nupe, Berom, and Igala from sailing the same river from further upland and trying to pass through Biafra and eventually into Non-Igbo territory so as to access the same sea?

You are landlocked because by the time your miniature 5states were to secede from Nigeria, without the alliance of the Ikwere or other non-Igbo tribes that have access to the sea, you will be totally locked within Nigeria just like Lesotho is locked within South Africa.

Look at the map below, and see how trapped you are. I know it feels choking.

Simply put, you will be at the mercy of Nigeria.

abduljabbar4:
You are very dumb and ignorant. Can that river link you to the Atlantic Ocean? If it can, can a ship move on that river? Go and ask for a refund bro. Your secondary school scammed you

Sunshineg5:
The statistics is released by the same man you have been insulting since yesterday.

HedwigesMaduro:
All those companies in Ibadan are more than the number of companies (including roadside cobblers) located in all the states in the yeast combined. What yeebos consider as development is having ten 419 sons build fine houses in the same town. They fly drones over these to show how developed their cities (sorry, villages) are.

Balogunodua:
Ibadan is the regional capital not Oyo, Osu in his cave typing rubbish.

Here is Abia that is more developed that Israel

Obamaofusa:
That slum even looks like European slums compared to your largely slummy Igboland with only Onitsha which is 52 square km partly developed with houses.
Only houses in a tiny space


These are what Ibadan city also has that you don't have in your entire Igboland.
Good road network.

Obamaofusa:
lol

Is this the first time you are chatting these people up?

They will continue to repeat same picture around Onitsha umpteenth times because their land is fallow and undeveloped.

This is the funny part,the Onitsha they post every time has mostly only houses,no university, no qualitative roads,no stadia,has only 1 GRA that they always picture from different sides

One would not know the kind of gutter Anambra1son sniffed to compare Onitsha with Ibadan.What effrontery!

princdebola201:
someone have already posted this same pics.
All ur chest beating is repeating same pictures

Obamaofusa:
lol

The entire Igboland is tiny and undeveloped, that is why you are always talking and circling Onitsha which is the only partially developed...with only houses of course .....
part in Igboland and this Onitsha is only 52 square km o ...

Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland.
Ibadan is the only city in Nigeria that has more than 10 GRAs and lots and lots of estates.

The entire SE Igboland does not have anything like this. ..



Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State, is presently enjoying a serious boom in the real estate sector of the state. There has been an impressive turnaround in the sector unlike before. The obvious evidence of this development is how major players in the industry are now coming to Ibadan, to tap into the limitless opportunities the city can offer because the environment is peaceful and quite cheaper to run a business compared to Lagos and Abuja.

Though most of them have their offices in those aforementioned places but the land seems to be greener in Ibadan; there are so many lands and new areas to develop. That was the potential the likes of Alhaji Tunde Ologburo’s Quikborn Nig. Ltd; Otunba Olumide Oshunshina and his Megamund Nig. Ltd (Carton Gate Estates) and few others saw long before now to have hugely invested in Ibadan real estate sector. Before Adron Homes & Properties and others lately joined the fray, they have all contributed to the development of that sector in building serene, classy estates with irresistible amenities which can be bought at reasonable prices, depending on one’s level and taste. This is in addition to the existing Government Reser ved Areas/Estates and privately owned estates.

We also have other developers in Ibadan apart from the popular ones that are doing wonderfully well in the industry too. Out of these estates however, there are some that are very popular. Those that you don’t have to live in Ibadan to reckon with.

While some of them are old estates built by the government, some are newly developed estates with master piece architectural designs. But guess what? Some of these estates don’t come cheap, they are exclusively for the super rich and influential personalities. In this special report however, City People Correspondent, Dare Adeniran presents to you 10 most popular estates where the rich live in Ibadan and why they are the most talked about. Read on.

OKE AGALA ESTATE

The total turnaround story of Oke-Agala Estate located at the notorious Igbo-Agala Yemetu area of Ibadan which used to serve as hideout of hoodlums, ritualists and men of the underworld, is quite an interesting one. Now it has been fully developed and a plot of land is sold there as high as over 20 million naira. It is a well structured estate with good road network and several amenities.



IKOLABA GRA

This is one of the few government reserved areas where the rich and powerful celebrities live in Ibadan. It is highly exclusive for people who can afford it. This is where we have Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Secretariat, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and others.



IYAGANKU GRA

Iyaganku G.R.A is exclusive for super rich and powerful people. It is a residential neighbourhood with breathtaking structures. This is where the likes of Chief Kola Daisi, Chief Bayo Adelabu, Senator Folarin and many influential people live in Ibadan. Glo Chairman, Chief Mike Adenuga also has his home (Gold Digger’s Place) within the estate. Many expertrates also live there. In fact, Iyaganku G.R.A is called billionaire G.R.A in Ibadan, with high tech infra structural facilities including a fully armed neighbourhood police station.



ALALUBOSA GRA

It won’t be out of line to describe Alalubo as Magodo of Ibadan. The estate is famous for being a place for the classy people. The selling point of the place, apart from the beautiful landscape, is the fact that it has large coverage areas, which now house many privately-owned estates, thereby making properties in this area a hot cake, as a plot of land is sold as high as 25 million naira, while landed property with structure goes for 35 to 40 million naira.



KOLAPO ISHOLA ESTATE

This is another fast developing estate near Akobo/General Gas axis. Though it was abandoned for many years but the estate has bounced back and it has since become developers’ favourite construction site, due to its location and space. Both land and developed property have turned gold here. Selling point of the estate however is the fact that its main road leads back to Dizzengolf, along Iwo-road. A plot land with C of O Title in this estate can’t be sold for less than 12 million naira.



AERODROME ESTATE

When the former Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, proposed to convert the then abandoned Samonda local airport to a housing estate, many came against the idea but today the place has risen to become one of the most expensive and fast growing estates in Ibadan. At the initial stage, a plot of land was sold for about 3 million. But now the same land goes for between 15, 17 and 30 million, depending on location and sizes. Aerodrome GRA is a hot cake due to its location; it is on a well tarred major road, along Ojo Express road and a few metres away from the University of Ibadan. Privately owned estates are also springing up within the estate almost everyday.



JERICHO

This is another government-owned estate in Ibadan and its existence is dated back to the colonial era. But now many new structures are springing up every now and then. In fact, Odua group, in partnership with a privately owned real estate company, recently constructed two beautiful estates within the estate.



ONIREKE GRA

Though it is a mixture of rich individuals living in Onireke GRA but the estate is known to be populated by Lebanese in Ibadan and that has been the case for a very long time now, perhaps because of its closeness to Dugbe (Central Business District) where most of their companies/businesses are located. It is a fully developed high brow/low density residential hub. Land or property here is quite expensive too.



AGODI GRA

Apart from being a residential estate for the powerful people, Agodi GRA prides itself as a clean and serene environment. In fact, it could be best described as the seat and home of power. This is where the Oyo State Secretariat, Governor’s office and house, the Deputy Governor’s house and the First Lady’s office, Army Officers Mess are all located. It also has the prominent Justice Wale Babalakin crescent where a plot of land goes for 50 million and above.



BODIJA ESTATE

Bodija is one of the oldest and most popular estates in Ibadan. It has old and new sides mostly with old structures, especially the old Bodija side. New Bodija is an improved phase of the the estate with mind-blowing structures. What however can’t be taken away from the estate is the fact that it is a peaceful, cool area for some highly placed people in the society. Bodija is fully occupied and one can hardly get free land except for the very few transfers from old owners. A property here co
