agbameta:The Liberty Stadium now renamed Obafemi Awolowo Stadium is a historic 25,000 seat football stadium based in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria. It was the first stadium to be built in Africa. Ibadan also boasts of the first radio and television stations in Africa. The first live broadcast was from Ibadan by Madam Anike Agbaje- Williams the first face on television in Africa. Why are u pple fond of laying bogus claims. What do you mean by first stadium built in Africa? Pls Africa does not span from Adoekiti to Oshogbo. There are much older stadia in Egypt, etc. First face on which television?! Next you'll tell me Ekiti has the highest number of professors in Nigeria. I was enjoying the pictures of shoeless folks on shorts trekking about till u came and spoilt it with your claims 3 Likes |

eaglechild: Liberty Stadium , the first stadium in Africa. The first citadel of higher learning, University of Ibadan (formerly the University College of Ibadan), and the first teaching hospital in Nigeria, University College Hospital , UCH, were both built in this ancient but, highly important city. Ibadan is also home to the legendary Shooting Stars FC -- a professional Football Club. source: http://www.world66.com/africa/nigeria/ibadan |

[size=14pt]Cocoa House ( "First skyscraper in Africa" )[/size] Cocoa House is owned by the Odua Group of Companies. This 26 storey building was commissioned in 1965. It was the tallest building in tropical Africa when it was commissioned. It was built from proceeds of commodities (particularly cocoa) that were sold by the Western Region. Cocoa House became the 2nd tallest building in Nigeria when NECOM House was commissioned in 1979. The building was significantly damaged in a fire in 1985, but was rehabilitated and reopened in 1992.

This was at WNTV-WNBS Ibadan on 31 October 1959. WNTV was later taken over by the Federal Military Government (when state governments were banned from owning broadcast stations) and is now NTA Ibadan. I watched a beautiful interview she granted in 2009 (that was done to celebrate 50 years of television in Nigeria). She never missed a day of work and was broadcasting even when she was pregnant. |

Leyland (Ibadan), like all the other auto factories that were set up in the 1970s (Pan, Von, Anamco, Steyr, etc), stopped producing because of the economic decline in the 1980s. It was subsequently taken over by a local company (Eba Odan Commercial & Industrial Company Limited) and is back in business. This is their website. http://leylandng.com/ |

Wole Soyinka was furious when it was demolished (he even wrote about it). According to him, it was a beautiful building, made of wood, that was perfect for the African climate. It was demolished and a European looking building was built at Igbosere to replace it. An unnecessary fountain (the Independence Fountain at Tinubu Square) was erected where the building once stood. 1 Like |

These are the companies Lagos, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and Ogun State should be empowering by patronizing them and all Nigerians indeed should be patronizing Leyland! They are located in Ibadan, in the SW employing our citizens and natives. They should be well encouraged. The company should also make inroads into the Northern part of Nigeria, MB, ND and lastly the SE. They should make every effort to take advantage of the huge markets West of Africa, which is huge! |

1966 marked the beginning of downward spiral of growth in Nigeria in its totality, but I still believed that we were not ready for independence when we got it. If Nigeria's independence came after the order of SA, we wont be where we are today; although kudos should be given to our fathers who fought for the independence of the nation. Not only did they fight, but also had vision for a great country that would thrive and compete with other countries in the world. What a pity that we have less visionaries in Nigeria today! The country has great potentials to be greater than the 60s era, and I believe a great Nigeria will be seen again, but we need servant-leader politicians and not pocket-focused politicians, that have docked our political terrain today. God bless Nigeria and she will be great again. |

Population explosion is one of the major sources of the woes we're now facing. Everry tomfool just goes about shooting spermatozoa all over the place at the slightest opportunity - without a source of decent livelihood or a plan on how to cater for the resultant offsprings. Wetin one poor man dey carry 5-6 children do? We need to find a way to regulate this abeg, otherwise things would get even worse. Nigeria's population was about 40m in the 1960s (much of which resided in the rural areas by the way). . . . compare that to the current 200m-plus population, and you would begin to realise where the problem lies. 2 Likes |
