The Pacesetter State even though it might not have held the ace. But you can't take these away: The 1st University, (U.I) Ibadan The 1st Teaching Hospital, (UCH) Ibadan The 1st Stadium, (Liberty) Ibadan The 1st TV Station, (NTA)Ibadan The 1st Private TV Station, (GALAXY) Ibadan The 1st Skycrapper, (Cocoa House) Ibadan The 1st Housing Corporation, Ibadan The 1st Dualised Road, (Queen Elizabeth Road) The 1st Parliament, Ibadan Ibadan was the seat of government in the Western Nigeria. But when they want to talk, they say this Ibadan people. Was it not Ibadan that taught all of you how to speak English, taught every Nigeria- trained Doctor how to do surgery, taught journalists how to present news and carry cameras, the housing corporation in Ibadan approved all the estates and designs. That was how this lady came from Lagos for the first time and was shocked to discover that Ibadan is different from the picture she had carried in her mind for years: Ibadan is old, full of old people, they can't speak english, you need a translator, too dirty, houses don't have toilets, there are no recreations, people carry tribal marks on their cheeks, everybody wears ankara, there are no pentecostal churches, they go to ori oke, no studios in Ibadan, no good musicians, no event planners, bring everything you need from Lagos if you have an event in Ibadan, the place is jagajaga. Shior. But Now, they want to settle down in Ibadan because it's cheap, friendly, free, and easy to move around. Go Back! Don't spoil air for us.

Ok na

Well said. I have found out that most lagosians are myopic people that have not ventured to go out of lagos state and call other places primitive. It is quite unfortunate. Some of the popular pple in lagos are even Ibadan born and breed...eg Mike Adenuga, Olu maintain, Ouilox owner ( Mr Pellar). Even Wole Soyinka is more Ibadan sef. And this is just to mention a few.

Maybe you can go and settle the senseless rift those guys are putting up. At least you can't blame a Yoruba person for starting that one.

Actress Kiki Omeili gushes over new-look Ibadan

February 6, 2016


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poTUVhmETLw


Nollywood ebony beauty, Nkiruka Omeili, popularly known as Kiki Omeili, has been full of admiration at the level of development going on in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The actress, presenter and doctor, who travelled to the ancient city for the shoot of a newly released movie, ‘Couple of Days’, told Saturday Tribune at the private screening of the movie in FilmHouse Cinema, Surulere, Lagos during the week that she was surprised at the new look of Ibadan. The ‘Lekki Wives’ actress didn’t mince words as she attributed the high level of development in the Oyo State capital to the good governance of the present administration.

Speaking with a dint of reminiscence she said: “Ibadan is actually a city I am familiar with. I spent a whole year in Ibadan before. I did my housemanship in Ibadan at UCH [University of College Hospital, Ibadan] as a medical student. Back when I did my housemanship, there was almost nothing there. That was in 2007.” Now, Ibadan has changed. Ibadan has grown. It’s just so beautiful. There are now some many awesome sites and places. I think that’s one of the things you expect of a good government. I think the governor is doing a good job.

“It was nice shooting in Ibadan. We accomplished a lot because Ibadan is kind of quiet unlike Lagos. And moving around was not difficult. I think one of the aims of this movie is to show people that Ibadan isn’t as bad as before”.

The movie was shot mostly in Ibadan and reviews the intricacies of modern love and marriage through the lenses of three couples who decide to leave the hustle and bustle of Lagos for a much quiet vacation in Ibadan.

Kiki played Joke, a brash and materialistic wife of one of the triplet couples vacationing in Ibadan. The movie also starred multitalented singer, Falz the Bahd Guy, Lilian Esoro, Enyinna Nwigwe Adesua Etomi, Ademola Adedoyin among others.
Couple of Days was premiered in Ibadan on Thursdays and other cinemas houses across the country.

In all aspects, Ibadan is bigger than Lagos state. For your information, Lagos state is the smallest states in landmass in Nigeria. Lagos has been overtaken by water, check your map of Google it.
Ibadan is the darling state of all states and it's real.
