You guys love talking rubbish. Instead to verify what you have heard you will stick to the nonsense. Before I verified I already knew that it was a nonsense talk.

In this era of AI, what people don't know is that if a politically exposed person says a wrong info and not challenged by a similar or higher authority, that information becomes valid in the eyes of AI.

You guys are just too anyhow. I wonder the level of education you received to act in some certain way. You can't even do little research to very whatever you hear. Even that information was not accurate. But yet you have decided to carry such misinformation with you.

grin where is the lie? That’s why we keep telling them to visit Ibadan for those who haven’t left their caveland but fixated on the pictures of old Ibadan with brown roofs like they like to call it and see how far developed and cosmopolitan Ibadan is than the whole of their entire unproductive region grin

Don't you have data to view the images or to access the internet?

I showed you evidence and proof yet you still want to argue?

Enugu state alone is over 7k size in landmass. That's more than 2 times the size of Ibadan

Dear laptop boy, you need to go back to secondary school and study geography. Going by your 'logic', Lagos is even bigger than Niger and Borno states combined. cheesy

That Ibadan you labeled "Big for nothing" knew civilisation before your forefather ever opened eyes - That Ibadan was already wearing a locally made clothes for several centuries while your forefathers used leaves and fronds to cover their unclothedness. Many of your elites, if it were not for Ibadan, they will never know what education was. I am from Lagos, but Ibadan is not your forefathers mate in anything. Your land have erased their past because they have none, but you see Ibadan, has modern developments more than what your god-forsaken land can ever have, and Ibadan still preserves the past - That's how to roll in a city that's far bigger than all your entire cities put together.

1. The magnificent 26-storey Cocoa House is the first skyscraper in tropical Africa and was the tallest building in Nigeria and West-Africa when it was built.
2. Adebayo Faleti was a man of many firsts: 3. Africa’s first stage play director, 4. Africa’s first film editor, 5. the first librarian with 6. the first television station in Africa (WNTV/WNBS now NTA) and 7. the first Yoruba presenter on television and radio. He was an actor, poet, journalist and film director.

The city hosted the first TV station in Africa, NTA Ibadan, which was established as Western Nigeria Television (WNTV).
8. The oldest surviving Nigerian newspaper is the Ibadan Tribune, which was founded by chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Premier of Western Nigeria.
The first private TV station, Galaxy TV in Oyo State, also started in the city.

9. The University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, founded in 1962, started from the present North Campus of the Ibadan Polytechnic, then known as the Nigerian College of Arts and Science.
It took it’s first set of 244 students on the 22nd of September 1962, with five faculties; – Agriculture, Arts, Economics, Social Studies (now Social Sciences), and Law. Your ancestors should thank Awolowo for opening their eyes to education and free education in SW.
The university resided in Ibadan until January 1968, when it finally relocated to its new permanent Campus in Ile-Ife. It’s first Vice Chancellor was Professor Oladele Ajose, succeeded in 1966 by Professor Hezekiah Oluwasanmi, a University of Ibadan Agricultural Economist.

10. The first stadium-the liberty stadium, patterned after the popular Wembley Stadium in London.

11. The first dualised road in Nigeria- named The Queen Elizabeth road, from Mokola to Agodi Secretariat, officially declared open, by the visiting Queen Elizabeth II in 1956.

12. The popular University College Hospital (U.C.H) , the first teaching hospital in Nigeria, patterned after the University of London Teaching Hospital (ULTH).
13. Ibadan also had the first highly organized and structured Civil Service in Nigeria
14. The free education programme of the Awolowo government, the first in Nigeria, was launched in Ibadan, in 1954.
15. As a honeypot, Ibadan became the home of the first set of Research and Training institutes in Nigeria.
16. The Forestry Research Institute (1930),
17. the Idi-Ayunre Cocoa Research Institute (CRIN),
18. The Nigerian Cereal Research Institute Moor Plantation (NCRI),
19. the NIHORT (Nigerian Institute of Horticultural Research), 20. the NISER (Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research),
20. IAR&T (Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training), amongst several others.
21. UKPABI ASIKA - Your ancestors should thank IBADAN PEOPLE for helping to shape your future.
It was from these interactions, that he consummated the friendships of many Ibadan intellectuals. It was Professor J.F Ade Ajayi, on the request of Olusegun Obasanjo, that scouted for Anthony Ukpabi Asika, a 31 year old radical teacher of Political Science at the University of Ibadan, to be made the Civilian Administrator of East Central State of Nigeria on the 29th of October 1967. Abi make i mention say Lagos gave Nnamdi Azikiwe proper education?

Benjamin Cardozo has said it all, when he said, “History in illuminating the past, illuminates the present and in illuminating the present, illuminates the future”
Ibadan presents fascinating landscape of tradition and modern features. Prominent in it’s old, indigenous core areas are the Iba’s market (Oja’aba), Beere and the Aafin Olubadan (King’s Palace). From the popular Mapo Hill and Hall, one can easily see, the sea of rusted brown roofs, described as “Running splash of rust:


Now, i challenge you to combine all Eastern States and compare with Ibadan history and achievements.

OYO - Ibadan IGR = ₦3.65trn - it grew to 5.4 trillion in 2024

The law maker doesn't know what he's doing, he didn't even know his constituency that much as his claim to know them, I pity for them.
Ibadan city with land mass of 3000km² he's taking about 25,000km²
I don't blame him, I only blame his followers.

The SE has considerable water resources which makes the land naturally more able to support a high population. It has more water resources than Oyo state.

However if not for migration Oyo would be the state with the highest population

You are even trolling in the middle of the night, when your mates are either sleeping or making money.

Stating the obvious is tribalism and supporting government for its good work is tribalism. You expect me to support your underachiever who have no single legacy and not fit to govern Nigeria with his bigoted view and poor credentials.


It actually shows you don't have job and don't project your image other.

Just say the truth so I can help your ministry
. Am happy you have seen what tinubu has achieved with his all credentials.
The kind tribalism the South west play is soo surprising.


When obasanjo came the East supported him through out...

But when east came u guys turn around with tribalism....

Between obi and tinubu who will you give ur business to handle?
