MrNiceGuy5:


Buildings in the east were formally brown roof but people started breaking all those brown roofs in onithsa to build 4 to 5 story building because you guys don't have enough land. But in the west, we don't break brown roofs building instead we move to another settlement in the same state to develop it. That is why you will see fine building even in that same ibadan that has brown roof.

AM FROM IBADAN, I RESPECT NAIRALAND A LOT BUT I DONT EXPECT THIS TYPE OF HUMULATING COMMENTS FROM UR ORGANISATION COS I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL OVER THIS NIGERIA AND THERE IS NO CITY AS FREE AND ACCOMONDATING LIKE IBADAN. IT IS THE ONLY CITY ANY ONE CAN ENTER AND SETTLE PERMANENTLY. CAN YOU JUST ENTER AND SETTLE IN KANO- MAUDUGURI- ABA OR ENUGU ANYHOW. THERE WAS A TIME, IN ABA ALONG DOUGLAS AVENUE OR SO, I WAS LODGING AND THE OWNER CAME AND CHECKED ME OUT AROUND 10PM SAYING I DONT WANT NI GBA TI, GBA TI IN MY HOTEL.(HE REFUNDED MY MONEY TO ME), THAT DAY I WENT TO MY OFFICE BRANCH IN ABA TO SLEEP WITH CENTENARIES.WITH MY RANK. I WAS ON MY WAY TO P/H, I WILL NEVER FORGET IN MY LIFE.

Op,
Most of the things you got on your list are not misconception in any way.
Is it the brown roofs? The tribal marks? The funny accent?
Abeg which one is the misconception there?

Where you came from, are there no brown roof? no tribal markings? or accent? abeg forget that poo, you are just attaching negative attention to Ibadan cos of your petty hatred.

let's assume all this are peculiar to Ibadan, and no other place in the world share this attributes, did anyone forced you to come to Ibadan, or set up your businesses there? Why not stay in your white room city and stop these stereotypes.

Ibadan is a force to reckon with, brown roof or not, tribal mark or not. it has always been and will always be. so, go and fuc-king hang yourself.

See idiat! Who the Bleep wants to live in Ibadan?
Which force you wan reckon with? The lack of toilets in most of the houses?
I never see better place na brown leaking roof area I go settle.
Waka for there! Who send you? Mumu!

Lolzzzzz, this article is as funny as ibadan myth. But my sweetheart stays in ibadan and dats the only tin i love in ibadan...

The bigger a city is, the more developed it should be if there is population . Oyo receives more allocations than anambra.

And Oyo is far bigger than Anambra. Most of the brown roof houses are family house which more often than not belongs to 3 to 6 extended families and to get it rehabilitated or have the roof changed is always difficult cos of the politics, quarrels or spiritual aspects. People just move on and build their own new house in new beautiful area. well, most of this new areas which are fine are not along the Lagos - Ibadan express where where you all get your brown roof bias. Ibadan is a mixture of old and new, old techs and new techs. that's it.

Chai the BR city!!!

All true though

Kai! The sorry excuses you guys give sometimes, gives me the jitters!
We don't have enough land and that's why we build 4 to 5 stories?
Where did you get that idea from? I guess you can say the same for places like New york with skyscrappers.
Ibadan has brown roofs cos yorubas depend on govt heavily. Most of them are civil servants.
How many civil servants can come up with 35-40 million to build a 4-5 story building?
All the 4 to 5 stories in the east are built by individuals. Business men mostly.
Yorubas take 2nd in poverty rate after the abokiis.
So, spare me that bullshit about having a vast area of land.

How come most of the houses are still being occupied by people if they were abandoned?
spiritual reasons hindering renovation?
Let's end this

apply sense.

You build up (wards) when there is no land.



You build wide when there is.


all things being equal!

[quote author=juman post=34929390]There is common say that goes: Ibadan ti ko jale oju ni onrọ.

Stop to tarnish our image " it's just old proverb. I am frm ibadan. We ar straight forward person but we dont want other state to prove that he/she wise.i hav been to different three country, ibadan people are doing great there. Ibadan is pace setters. Ilu to gba onile to gba alejo. I proud of u.

My city...... I love my city.
Am a deltan who grew up in ibadan n I must tell you I.B is one of d nicest place to stay . Gone are those days when I.B was for the Old n locals. Par example take a look at Lead city university, we have many students who didn't grow or live in ibadan that are schooling there. In ibadan now Yahoo is the order of the day, every body making there lil money in there own way. The city has moved from what people used to think of it. God bless you. God bless my city Ibadan

Story! How many brown roofs do you see in Onitsha?
Building wide indeed!
For once, you guys should accept that aside from Lagos, other South western states are below average.
No need over-hyping like your people always do.

there are the haves and haves not, the haves not which include the poor artisans who look for very cheap apartments, aged fathers or mothers and siblings of the tenants.

nkemdi89:
3 bedroom flat in town is 60k a year which can not even rent a room in owerri. Cheap green taxi at 20naira a drop. Sasha, dugbe cocoa house and orita challenge.

For real.....?

Pls do you stay @ IBADAN?

pls don't just say things about this city based only on what you see on the express to Lagos and while Ekene or pmt is taking you to LAGOS. Visit Ibadan, find a guide to take you through.

And pls if you have not spent at least 2 months in IB City, please verify things before you take them as true. Thanks.


One love In City.

right on point,this not only an ibadan tin,most s/w cities are also guilty of this..cos of there polygamous life style..no body want to spend his money on a house owned by many..

Ibadan rocks...proud to be "born and bred" there
