Olodo

Those places are called "agbo ile" where every Ibadan son and Daughter have their ancestral homes. That is how it has always been. Most of those houses are over 100years old

My own agbo ile in Isale Alfa,Ibadan clocked 90 this year. My Grandfather built it in 1934.

Most of those houses are now.empty and those that are not empty are inhabited by people that live in them for almost free.

The Old part of the city and they shall be till the very end of time.

Remember this JP Clark's quote "Ibadan,running splash of rust and gold-flung and scattered among seven hills like broken China in the Sun"

P.S. You won't like to see the modern part which are more than the old part anyway because if you do,you won't be able to close your mouth
Where is the modern part located? Bodija, Akala or Agodi the seat of power is like Sango Ota no modern building or infrastructure. Let's truth be told Ibadan people does not build in their town but Lagos

This is surely the ancestral or historic part of Ibadan for the locals, so you don't expect things to change.
We Nigerians enh, how will we maintain our cultural heritage?? If structures like this are demolished.
But we can pay thousands of dollars to go to Santorini to see the same old buildings and cultural heritage.

Not supposed to be a city, rather a rural settler. Since it decided not to have an advanced architecture.
Many of those buildings were built b4 1960 when....ppl were living in the forest. They are now inhabiting the olds and less privileged. My great grandpa house is in there.

Make I snap picture from 1911? Did I tell you I am time traveler?

I don’t blame you, you might be a village nincompoop with severe inferiority complex.

It’s a common knowledge, in Europe and America, there are ancient cities still standing till date. You will see ancient houses of over 100 years still being used till this day with very little changes.
Google is your friend Mr man
Mr man stop spitting, kindly show us a picture of Boston where u claim u are simple

Or is your phone camera not clear enough to do that ?

The essence of showing those pictures is to compare ancient cities with the present day.

I am not here to showcase myself in Boston (I guess that’s where you have a problem, you got bitter immediately I mentioned I was in Boston, you are suffering seriously and I don’t pity you)

I am comparing pictures of old cities with new cities and sorry, I will not snap any picture to prove my location to you. You can die if you want…

Oh my goodness! Ibadan has experienced almost zero upgrade and the people seem so fine with it. It's as if they aren't neighbour's with Lagos....but then there's Ogun. They are twins in terms of having zero development grin

Remove lagos as former FCT, nothing to write home about... the entire region looking like the epicenter of the civil war... 🤦🏾‍♂️
What is your business with Yoruba affairs? . Children of hate who have made it their life long ambition to hate and be obsessed with Yoruba matter.

You can’t survive without Yorubas hence your obsession. We do understand though, you can only be obsessed with what is bigger than you and what you aspire to be.

Keep at it. Your existence depends on it. Pathetic lots.

Mumu thats just a preview of an area, ibadan is an ancient city the looks must reasonate, however that does not mean there are no places or houses covered with gerard

Those are people ancenstral homes, and most children are guided not to alter the settings .... for those who dont know there are many new site/highbrow areas in ibadan, oluyole axis, alalubosa, soka, akala way e.t.c with standard modern houses

Lets just say there is nothing to sell about a Modern ibadan ko jà owo
Stop regurgitating lies. Is Lagos not people's ancestral homes. Ancient cities like Rome, Athen and Jerusale. Should be living in muds.

Seek for progress and stop defending poverty

Nothing has changed, the same brown roof everywhere. You can't even see brown roof like this in the most remote village in my state. Ibadan people are not trying at all. If they don't want to develop their state, who will do it for them.
It’s a difficult one, to be honest.

The real issue with Ibadan is the rust-prone corrugated iron roofs introduced by the British looters who never used such roofing in England, but made it the norm in Nigeria, knowing full well they would rust into brownness after 50 years or so, ruining the aesthetics of buildings.

If a better roofing material was used, there would be no issue with those houses, which are indeed structurally sound, and just need a dash of paint.

The Oyo state govt could initiate with federal help, a program of Restoration, in which subsidies are offered to landlords for mandatory re-roofing of their properties.

It will likely happen in due course as the country gets richer and more prosperous.

You are trying to communicate to people that were probably living on trees in 1970… everything to them is bitterness and hatred and they cannot reason with you


Having an ancient city is not new in any part of the world.

I was in Boston recently, they have some ancient buildings people are still living there till date. Buildings of over 100 years old.


This is Dorchester in Boston, 1911 vs 2024
But br... U can spot differences, the original topic not much, ure d 1 angry or perhaps bittetrd, the problem is not just Ib but naija as a whole.. NWES... same
