I am not an Igbo (and those who doubt me can check my profile topics to confirm). From my humble perspective, i think most yorubas have truly abandoned their home towns and villages and now focus only on Lagos. It is very sad. I observed that most yorubas now claim Lagos as their state of origin, whereas they come from other yoruba states. Not until i encountered some yorubas in Lagos that i knew that there are many yoruba adults and teenagers who have never been to their hometowns and don't know the road to their villages. Whereas it is cool for yorubas to invest in Lagos and take pride in it, it would continue to be very embarrassing seeing the same very developed Lagos side by side with terrible looking hinterland yoruba towns and villages. It will continue to remain very shameful and an eye sore. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Oxtonguy: I've been to Akure and i say Kudos to the governor. He is doing a great job. Parts of Abeokuta also look very cool, but these are probably this way because they are administrative capital cities. Yorubas have many towns in their states aside the capital cities. The thing is, many Yorubas do not build modern houses in their hometowns, unlike the Igbos. Almost every succesful Igbo man must have a very beautiful mansion in his village. This has made the Igbo countryside the most beautiful and advanced in Nigeria (except for Ebonyi and parts of Abia states). Although i think this development of Igbos is somehow a function of their culture and society. This is a culture i think all Nigerians should emulate from the Igbos. Nothing as beautiful as seeing the development of the countryside of a place, especially in Africa. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yyeske: Ibadan, as is the case with most yoruba towns, is reputed for sitting on seven hills. The undulating landscape make the corrugated brown roofs so conspicuous. Save that, there is no ancient town in Nigeria that does not have it's fair share of brown roofs, except for those living in caves as at the time those brown roof buildings were being erected. |

MXrep:You can't have for Akure, because Akure is a modern city, ancient city like Abeokuta has of those brown things you are posting why new cities like Akure has little that can't be rendered aerially. You only succeeded posting those ancient buildings of Abeokuta. Why do you ignore the new areas Modern part of Abeokuta

Oxtonguy:No yoruba city or town is devoid of their rusted roof trademark, Akure seems to the least affected though, this is akure middleclass area. The taxi colour is a confirmation of authenticity of the pics by the way, your pics are heavily edited, trying to hide something? 1 Like

arinze2015:Unfortunately none of your pictures are Akure, Akure was just close to be called a village when cities like Ibadan and Abeokuta are a growing ancient city. The brown roof in Akure are very few. Only ignorant can believe your fake pictures. Even Ibadan that has more BR still has more modern beautiful looking places than any of your cities. IBADAN 1 Like

Nowenuse:Nigerians like to live under a fantasy but never want to come to terms with reality. Tell me a region of Nigeria that does not have brown roofs. When the Europeans visited Yorubaland, they noted the high rate of urbanism among them. For example, Ibadan at one point in time was the largest city in Nigeria and the largest in all of Subsaharan Africa. Till today, Yorubaland is one the most urbanized part of Nigeria. 40% of Nigerian cities with 100,000 people are found in the region. It's good that you said almost every successful Igbo build a mansion. However, the truth remains that most Nigerians are poor, whether Igbo or Yoruba or whatever and cannot afford to build a mansion in their village. Most Nigerians live under inadequate infrastructure. Your sweeping generalization that many Yoruba don't build modern houses in their hometowns is false. Yoruba towns and cities embraced tin roofs and in the past, the houses look fairly decent, compare to now. Brown roofs in my opinion is misplaced priority. It doesn't matter if you build a 4 storey mansion in a village, you are not living life to the fullest if you are surrounded by open gutters, pollution filth and litter, have to fill your generator to power your house, and drive your car on bad roads full of potholes. What's more important than replacing brown roofs is to clean the streets and upgrade public infrastructure. 2 Likes |
