Government of Oyo state should demolish Ibadan, this is an embarrassment in the 21st century

And the east need to be Nuke out from existence from being so economically useless

This is enugu I thought you guys have no brown roofs in the east.

MajorLeaguePlay:
How many cars were in the whole of ibo land in the 1930’s? “catching up on education” with less than 10 university graduates in the entire Iboland.

The way you guys choose to exaggerate and rewrite history… the inferiority complex is too much.

LMAO by 1930 yorubas was ahead no doubt buy buy 1960 igbos have covered the gap

Are you igbo?

Big lie igbos made far more money from north than south west oga ...there are far more igbos in the north than south west

Yorubas are educated na so they compete with us in many areas

Pharmacy in the core north are almost Monopolized under igbos , building materials same thing , spare parts and mechanics same thing , metal business same thing , boutiques same thing ,

Yorubas compete in many areas but the igbo cooperative idea is our edge

An igbo man can have a capital of 500k but he is given goods of 5 million by the igbo supplier ...his per unit cost has dropped ..he can out compete his Yoruba competition that has a capital of 1 million by selling cheaper and faster reason u see them opening multiple shops

Name just only one company...na only one I say o....that an Igbo man has in the entire North.

Developed part of ibadan is not the same as ibadan land

Why are you being stupid. So every part of Anambra is developed?

If you covered the gap, yorubas will be rushing to SE the way we rush to canada and UK.

Developed part of ibadan is not the same as ibadan land

Ibadan is 3,080 sq km and Onitsha is 52 sq km...both according to google....the old part of Ibadan which is called Beere majorly,is not up to Onitsha.
Ibadan has more infrastructures than the entire Igboland and has the highest number of GRAs in Nigeria and highest number of mega malls after Lagos.

I doubt you are yoruba and if you are, then you are a disgrace. What is with this show of shame? In as much as the igbos are chest beaters and pompous that doesn't take away the fact that the are advancing at a greater pace than we. If this was ibadan 100yrs ago and present ibadan is no different from this whereas awka is developed and still developing shouldn't that be a slap on our faces? And you are proud to bring it up here, these should be an eye opener to us...

Says a Yoruba wannabe Igbo man...

Do you have these in your entire Igboland?



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 costs nothing less than 25 to 30 million naira.



AKOBO ESTATE

This estate is no doubt one of the biggest in Ibadan; it has many phases within it. There is General Gas, Akala Way and other privately developed estates within it. Here you see master piece structures just like the other high tech estates around and property/land doesn’t come cheap there. A plot of land goes for 20 million naira and above, depending on the part of the estate. Akobo, especially the Akala Way, started enjoying massive boom when ex-Gov. Adebayo Alao Akala upgraded the road that links Kute, Olorunda back to Akobo-Ojurin. Hence the raod was named “Akala Way”. Akobo has also become real estate investors’ favourite site as it now houses many privately developed estates.

You are very stupid if you think Ibadan is not diferent than this. Akala Express, Bodija, Akobo, Eleyele, Aerodrome, Soka, Ashi, Oluyole, RIng Road, Jericho are very developed areas in Ibadan, at par with Ikeja Magodo and even Lekki. Some of these areas are bigger than the whole of Awka. You can get 10x the whole developed areas in Anambra and Imo in just Ibadan. Yet you stupid Igbo disguising is saying nonsense.

When u climb cocoa house dugbe and view ibadan u will know that d areas surrounding Jericho,dugbe,eleyele,ring road,bodija etc are all covered with brown roofs.Just try and visit cocoa house climb to the highest upstair and view your ibadan.

Empty brains from west view this satlite map to see development doesn't end in Onitsha Onitsha is just smallest town, Nkpor, Obosi, Ogidi, Nkwelle, Oba each of these towns are far bigger than Onitsha and they are highly populated and well built up

Hundred years after what happened??


Stop living in past glory..

Exactly. Yorubas can't stop living in the past. That's why they see brown zinc dilapidated old rickety building littered everywhere in Ibadan, Oshogbo and Ibarakpa as nothing.

Frankly speaking, Awka has modern and beautiful scenery with nice aesthetic view than Ibadan.

Ibadan is just 5LGAs covered with rusted zinc.

If not that Yoruba girls used to have nice and attractive curves more than Hausa and Igbo which I believe are worth chasing after, there's nothing fun about Ib city.
