This is also Ibadan


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32VZT99kUQE


Ibadan is as big as Anambra state, Apart from Onitsha and some few places in Anambra how many places have any sign of development in Anambra ?

Ibadan as a city is bigger than Lagos state not every part of Lagos is developed, so it is also understandable that Ibadan have some local areas, you guys would even bash Lagos state your bitterness for Ibadan is expected.

Oga, even a smaller Lagos has a larger developed area than the bigger Ibadan.

Oga, stop the delusion , Nnewi , Onitsha, Obosi, Oba, Awka have far better looking houses than this dungeon called Ibadan.
Oyo is also bigger than Israel , does your size nonsense still work ?

Just agree that the west has stunted and regressed development. Your towns look like they are stuck in stone age .
The Easterners renovate their abodes regularly, copy that. The 50s are too recent for this decay your towns keep showing

The second pictures have more buildings and the roads are still good but not many people can use their eyes very well.

Igbo only see coloured roof and the paint of a house as a sign of development.

Ibadan is still more developed than any of your hole in the East, the registered businesses in Ibadan alone is more than 3 south east states.

Stop quoting Senseless or is it statisense you call it. It's a 2 by 2 backyard cybercafe churning out fake data for propaganda purposes. They have never provided any method they used in arriving at the numbers the push out.

Imagine two Yoruba guys behind had to release what they called number of poor people per square kilometer shocked shocked who does that? Which normal organization produces such nonsensical data?

Even the guys appear very hungry and can't possibly afford to spend money to conduct actual poll.

Now, to the topic, when over 90% of all your so-called cities have rusted roofs and decrepit houses, then it's due to extreme poverty. If it's for conservation purposes, you can pick one or two towns and have a section reserved for UNESCO heritage.

You people should stop those cheap propaganda because it doesn't make any sense.

I pity them. Instead of understanding there is a problem and focus on solving it, they choose to be saying trash. That's why I like Igbos, if they're the ones with this problem, they will keep discussing it holistically until there is improvement.

They should continue lying to themselves, while the rest of the world advances.

So you think Ibadan can be captured in one picture,or there is no new area since about 60 years ago. Also did you expect a house that has been built over 60 years ago not to get old.

The problem you people have is that you are Just building houses in your region so there can't be old houses for sure.

But know that all the new houses and companies in your region wont still match the new houses in Oyo till forever

Just go to google and cure your ignorance, no standalone city is as big as Ibadan in West Africa, it is also the 2nd fastest growing City in Africa

I've seen that pic before.....it was taken in the 60s and not 70s. Notice how the streets are clean, with sidewalks and no open gutters? There's a sense of sanity and order pervading the entire pic? Shows how Nigeria has retrogressed from the 60s to date.


NIGERIA RETROGRESSED?

REALLY?

In the 1970s only LAGOS had flyovers, maybe one or two.

In the 1970s there were NO EXPRESSWAYS, apart from Lagos-Ibadan, completed in 1978.

Travel was on two-lane face me I face you roads.


Collisions were a daily occurrence, with terrible death tolls.

In the 1970s university students did not dream of having cars.

Today, campuses are filled with exotic cars and SUVs in the car parks.

In the 1970s TELEPHONES were for the very rich.

Today, everyone is on smart phone.

In the 1970s there are only 12 universities, compared to 250 today.

In the 1970s we had no befitting capital.

Today, Abuja is not just the Pride of Nigeria, but the Pride of Africa.

In the 1970s, Calabar, Nnewi, Uyo, Ikot Ekpene, Abakaliki, Awka, Warri, Asaba, Umuahia, were more or less VILLAGES.

Today, they have shopping malls, expressways, mansions, banks, universities, hotels, factories, nightclubs and bars.

Oh sure we've regressed.

EWU!

Re: Ibadan In 1970s Vs Now by delpee(f): 10:38pm On Aug 09, 2023
That is Ibadan CBD of old. Cocoa house and the old major banks are nearby. The Kingsway, UTC and Leventis Stores axis was always a destination of choice during the holidays. I remember the very hot delicious meat pie at Kingsway stores and Santa Claus grotto with the mini train and "snowy" atmosphere leading to it during Christmas. St Michael's wears at Leventis and household stuff at UTC.

The British Council and Western Region libraries were nearby for us to spend some time reading. The Lebanese stores and fabric stores of Dugbe market women were also nearby for window shopping. Sweet memories..... smiley

Shut up. There's nothing progressive about Nigeria. What you are seeing mostly in these towns are individual efforts.

Individual efforts built you the world class stadium in Uyo and all the new roads, expressways and flyovers across the nation, and Abuja, and the 250 universities, and mass internet connectivity with the various undersea cables that facilitate it.

Ode, UNLIKE YOU, I DO RESEARCH FOR A LIVING.

And I was around in the 1970s UNLIKE YOU.

GDP PER CAPITA in the 1970s was 250 dollars per annum.

Literacy rate was 25%

Today GDP PER CAPITA is approximately 5,000 dollars per annum.

Literacy rate is 70%

Infant mortality rate was 141 per 1000 in 1975.

Today it is 54 per 1000, showing steady progress in health care delivery.

I can tell you for FREE that you are living in HEAVEN today, compared to the 1970s.
