Unimaginable123: To us, the SW isn't fully developed as we see the inherent potentials. To you, the SW is the heaven and mecca of everyone from your land of the rising scams. Aregbe alone has executed more projects than all the SE governors and their predecessors combined. You see the Opon Imo project of Aregbe, before it can be adapted for the use of your people, it wont be earlier than 2040. This is because you people are still at the very basis of human skills and learning. You are innate criminals and are unable to live in a lawful society. 5 Likes |

Okoyiboz3:Lol, these afonjas are jokers, we are talking Ibadan some has started shouting SW to console himself with Noman'sland. Yorubas were the Last to migrate to Lagos. In their usual lazy lifestyle devoid of ambition, they were there sleeping when other ethnic groups migrated en masse to colonial Lagos, it was later they used proximity advantage to outnumber other and start merging Lagos with their rusted roof region 2 Likes

Unimaginable123:The same London where there were open gutters and people used to dump poo from their windows up until 20th century. There was an event known as the Great stink, which caused smelly and harmful chemicals to leak out into the water system and air causing thousands of people to die from diseases like cholera. Any old city can look descent if there is proper management and better infrastructure upgrade, which is obviously lacking in Nigeria. Infrastructure neglect is a big problem in Nigeria. This is the same Ibadan in 1960s.

9jakool:hello sir/ma, the discussion here is not about air pollution. It is about about a thread your yoruba brother created idolising the brown roofs in Ibadan that all of you yorubas adore. The link u intentionally attached to ur response is on environmental pollution. Pls create a thread for that. But for this, accept that Ibadan conglomerate of brown roofs |
Re: Ibadan Land Of Brown Roofs; Glory Of The Grey Haired by Unimaginable123: 1:26am On May 06, 2017 |
9jakool:who's talking of pollution! We are talking of brown roofs |
Re: Ibadan Land Of Brown Roofs; Glory Of The Grey Haired by 9jakool: 2:28am On May 06, 2017 |
Unimaginable123: Op created an innocent thread that discusses history of Ibadan and its iconic brown roofs, but children of hate had came to display their bigotry once again. They look for ways to feel superior because everything to them is a competition. If it's brown roof you talk about, I say there is nothing wrong with brown roofs. A roof is just a roof. There are modern parts of Ibadan as there are parts that are old and dilapidated. Brown roofs are not stopping popular Western companies from establishing their businesses in Ibadan every year. Ibadan is witnessing a lot of growth in foreign investments as we speak. I think brown roofs add to the historic character of the city. To me they serve as a testament to a prosperous time when the economy was based on farming and trade, and local farmers and merchants prospered greatly as a result. Revitalize the cocoa industries, fix the roads, clean up the streets and upgrade the infrastructure, going after brown roofs is misplaced priority and quite irrelevant. Then again, I don't expect you to understand. To you, you would like to see every one of those brown-roofed houses gutted and replaced with artificial cloned estates with pink roofs. Anyways, Ibadan stands as it is, don't get yourself worked up on it. Instead of worrying about the ugly brown roofs of Ibadan, you have far more pressing issues to worry about like the ongoing pollution in your region. See, brown roofs only appear "ugly", but pollution causes life-threatening illnesses and kills. Meanwhile..... Abeokuta, a city where rust meets gold.

Ofodirinwa:You are free to. Then after you do that, also post pictures of modern buildings of rome with the moildings of onitsha. Since you don't have enough sense to know our architecture here in africa is far from what the europeans had always had. I am sure your mud houses in the east are also more classic than the roman buildings right? |
