The report was from Frontier Strategy Group as it was reported in This Day earlier this year http://blog.frontierstrategygroup.com/2011/08/capturing-africa%E2%80%99s-transformative-urban-growth/ From the report: "Names like Ouagadougou, Lubumbashi, Ibadan and Douala may not yet rank alongside Chengdu, Wuhan or Zhengzhou in consumer goods’ companies expansion planning but they should definitely be on the radar. Fortune favors the brave, and the well-informed." |

I wager many of these haters haven't even been to Ibadan city before. I no blame them na wetin dem dey see for express. I had many of their type as friends while studying in Ife - Lagos boys whose only knowledge of Ibadan was what they saw between the toll gate and Iwo Road, on their way to Ife from Lagos. When we started attending parties in Ibadan, actually going into town, UI (esp Queens/Idia ![]() I can only imagine what Ibadan would be like if Oyo State could have a governor in Fashola's mould. |

Investment destinations in Nigeria 2012 ![]() Nigeria is a tale of two regions as city-level opportunities in the south overshadow widespread insecurity in the north. Companies must overcome corporate HQ fears regarding operational risks to position for long-term success in Nigeria, which remains the most attractive long-term investment destination in Sub-Saharan Africa. Last month ethnic conflict ravaged northern Nigeria, leaving 150 dead and 100 injured. This continues a troubling trend of violence in 2012. From an investment perspective, this has rattled foreign companies that are wondering if Nigeria is becoming too risky. However, halting or drastically scaling back investment plans would be a mistake for senior executives. Much of the violence is isolated in the economically underdeveloped north. The total GDP of 7 attack locations between April 5 and May 4 is US$25 billion, which represents less than 10% of Nigeria’s economy. On the other hand, the total GDP of 7 top investment destinations in the south is US$80 billion. This represents more than 30% of Nigeria’s economy. Nigeria’s five largest cities, all of which are located in the south, have a combined GDP exceeding US$75 billion. This is surpassed only by Angola and South Africa. City GDP in Nigeria’s south is set to expand significantly this quarter, even if only on paper, because the government is shifting the base year for real GDP to 2009 from 1990. The result will be an overnight gain of 40% that closes the overall economy size gap between Nigeria and South Africa to only 10%. Southern cities represent great opportunities for companies targeting emerging consumer classes, public sector projects, and other private sector companies flocking to urban areas. Companies should establish good relationships with distributors that know the southern part of the country well. Much of your sales opportunities are likely to be concentrated in this region for the foreseeable future. http://blog.frontierstrategygroup.com/2012/05/a-tale-of-two-regions-southern-investment-northern-insecurity-in-nigeria/ |

Willy+willy: I'm dumbfounded at this statement,lets imagine this state is dirty and a "zoo" But some people have found it economically viable and a place to watchout for . why do you find it difficult to accept? Now,ibadan is a civilized city,with strong presence of a world class university,worldclass companies like P&G,BATcompany and others. IB has the highest second telecomms subscribers base in Nigeria. IB is not an oil producing state,has no sea port but it is very peaceful and lifestyle is very cheap and affordable. What are the perimeters for measuring an emerging economy? 1)Population 2)Security Ibadan has got these and many more. The only problem it has are the shortsighted leaders that has plagued every political realm in Nigeria. For those of you looking at the redroof, Its a sign of history dipicting the various stages of development . 5 Likes |
