When we talk about gentrification and development of cities it seems that some cities in Nigeria are just stagnant and have refused to evolve and this is MAPO

Ibadan Mapo 1970 vs 2025

Yes this is the Nigerian classic managerial skills of the city administrators or the indigenes desire to move from point A or Point B

Venice and most other old European cities, towns and villages look exactly like what they were a hundred years ago.

This Ibadan was seen back then as a major city compared to what you are beating chest with today which isn't even on any comparative indices can be defined as a modern city.

1970 is even finer than 2025 with orderliness

One of the downside effects of urbanisation which is why there's something called urban renewal that is required to transform such places to modern times

But Op hope you know that thunder will soda your yansh for lying sha

Show us proof

Don't be ashamed to own your stagnation in that city

Some of you are not interested in being mature or ready to grow up in life

Same trolling obsolete attitude that never achieved them a thing for years, they like to embark on fruitless journey

Bro, the losers are not even interested about how to make themselves better, as long as they can be trolling others, they are fine

Anyone who glorifies this level of abject penury as Ibadan people preserving their early civilization and culture will die a miserable death!

Can you show us a picture of a street in Venice from 1970 and another from the same street from 2025? We will like to compare something.

Backward and stagnated people always claiming sophistication.

1. Windward Ave. in Venice 1970s
2. Venice beach


Did you see the difference

U can never see any city in Yoruba land that is finer,better and cleaner now than in the olden days.

There is no urban renewal in their day to day activities.

The ancient people.

How can this be Mapo? The road at Mapo is a dual road.

From challenge straight down to Gate while this is just a single land road and doesnt even look aanyway like Mapo

Oga bring this down ASAP,this is not mapo hall, this is Ayeye and I can see the popular Ile Agbaje in the background.No information is better than a wrong information.

He is more like a Plant/Agent sort of. I read one of his post talking about Igbo sentiments, and trying to explain tribe differential values. It wasn't diverse enough to take serious. His gibberish and subliminal favouritism fingerprint was all over the post.

LOL.

That’s a big fat lie. Those cities you mentioned were maintained and they in fact look better than they were originally created structurally.

You look at this picture and say it’s okay? Come on.

Sccarrr:
70% of my topics are about Igbos been obsessed with Yorubas, there's a difference....tell me why I don't need to create a topic about this useless one here again 🤧

but you are one complaining,did it ever occur to you that the op is posting because of your people obsession with his own people?

Sure it's easier to make money from unexposed people

Let's just have a quick look at this Ibadan report. Pretty straightforward, right?

Ibadan’s growth isn’t just about numbers you can see it in the new residential estates shaping the city’s skyline and suburbs today. Alongside historic districts and landmarks, modern communities like The Legacy Estate along the Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road are drawing attention as part of the city’s expanding housing market, supported by improved transport links like the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway and the Circular Road project.

Developers have also launched Itura Gardens in Moniya and Ibadan Riviera in Ilaju-Ido, signalling a shift toward planned, lifestyle-focused neighbourhoods that appeal to both investors and homebuyers.

Other estates gaining traction include Honey Land Estate at Igbo-Oloyin, aimed at affordable and secure community living, and Rayfield Gardens City, a new luxury enclave with modern infrastructure and amenities.

You also see smaller but vibrant developments like Home Place Residence and ATOYEBI Courts 2 around Akobo, and ongoing activity from firms like Novarick Homes with projects such as Noblesville and Ayọ̀mídé to meet housing demand. All of this makes Ibadan’s growth visible — from historic Mapo Hall and Cocoa House to these emerging estates — showing a city that’s expanding in both scale and modernity.

Unexposed?
Do you mean people that are bathing on the main road of the stream uncovered even young ladies. I even filmed one young lady with nice breast while serving in one village in Anambala but I still manage to chop that lady sha…Exposure started from the South west Nigeria. I hope geography can change you guys to the north central. You guys are staining southern Nigeria white clothes

Don't worry..come back in 2090 you'd still meet it same way
