Eriokanmi:
I don't agree with you.

Go to Oyo Alaafin and see those buildings and rich men and women who rose from there, including bode Thomas...yes same bode Thomas of sturulere. As someone who grew up in Ibadan I know a lot of them. The following bindings and agbo-iles are covered by brown roofs today and those who rose from those family houses are super rich and famous.

Late gov Ajimobi's family brown roofed house at oke ado ibadan
Chief omololu olunloyo, same dad of the popular female blogger at Molete
Gov Ladoja's family house
Late Gov Lam Adesina in molete, ibadan
Late Chief Awolowo family house at oke Bola ibadan where he also built his upstairs along the road
Adebisi Idi Ikan, the richest man in the whole of Nigeria in his time at Idi Ikan ibadan. The 99 room house is still there today despite the affluence the family was surrounded with. I can go on and on. They rather left them untouched for generations to come rather than pull it down. Those who tried to do that ended up in court.

I haven't even mentioned the olubadan's Palace, the man who rides in limousine .We yorubas are synonymous with that. Go to Benin, you'd find a similar trend there. Whereas in places like South East, you hardly can find such. They'd been pulled down. We yorubas aren't like that. We protect our heritage. By the time the Europeans return those bronze heads stolen from us, Nigerians would be wowed. Benin even had a larger percentage of those artefacts. Whereas,other tribes don't have such. Those bronze heads are over 600 years old before stolen by Europeans in the 18th century.

Ok , it's one thing to preserve the heritage, it's another to leave it without maintenance and sanitation.

I have been to these areas before, it's an eyesore, worse than the pictures present...

Open defecation, noise pollution, over crowded market's, huge gullies, graves of the dead littered everywhere in unsightly places, and the stench.

Yes a lot of prominent Yorubas rose from there but statistically it's a breeding ground for thuggery and other vices.

What exactly does this type of heritage portray?

JAOS:
why are the so many brown roof in a place

Yoruba witch cannot allow prog8

Oboy native doctor activities go full this place,it even reminds me of those old superstories were them dey show for nta back in d days

OgogoroFreak:
Yoruba people and brown rusted roofs

Still many of your people from the potopoto republic spend fortune to rent such houses.cos they're are trooping here everyday.

mbahdi:
D tree is already up as of dis nyt.it has resurrected

You don't mean it

oldtruth:


What is your definition of poverty? Someone who can provide shelter and basic needs without sending SOS to your lineage you are tagging poor?

Okay. Unknown rich man. Keep it up

Poverty means living in extremely poor and unsanitary conditions. I can assure you that majority of those buildings are a few year's from collapsing and there's no architectural value in those buildings to support any sentimental feelings to keep them as they are.

They should be demolished and handed over to developer's, save a few like the mapo hall etc.

Thanks

Olisehinnocent:
See their shithole houses. After our sophisticated people will be insulting igbos. If not for Igbos that develop Lagos, Lagos will be shithole too. No wonder dey no want us to have Biafra.

Lmao. ''Na igbos develop lagos'' . Ori eleyi ti gbale tipe. Lagos that had developed since the 17th century that had become a major port city since d 18th century. By them your fore fathers are still in thick forest picking fruits and nuts from d ground. Ori e to gbale

TotoGame:


Alaye just listen to your self ....shame no dey catch you?


An average ibadan man is lazy and poor ....all they do is to be feeding on the rent of these dilapidated buildings that was probably built by their fore father's

Yuu guys aren't preserving any shit ...the truth is that there's no kaluba to renovate those buildings period

I lived in ibadan as a teenager for 5years ....so I'm sure of what I'm saying

You're still a teanager. Go play with sand. U know nothing about Yoruba, you migrant

JAOS:

That's the trademark of Oyo state as a whole. The state capital isn't left out.

That is to tell you it is an ancient town and that people preserve their heritage.

That is what differentiate an ancient town from newly develop or developing areas.

Which town barely came into existence 2yrs ago?

How do they know the tree’s age? Nigerian don’t keep records. Most of our parents don’t even know their through age

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggar
O boy see oyo state
See as he ugly..

Atleast make them still dey renovate and change the roof na...

If at all them nor see money take build new one


Which one be ancient town and people preserve their heritage?
Ancient town mean say make them nor change roof...

Instead of you to say poverty is in the land

Ancient City; ancient buildings.

Eriokanmi:
The heritage of yoruba people. Those brown roofs had been in place for centuries, at a time when only one % of Nigerian houses were covered by bamboos. Look at those upstairs...those could only be found in ancient cities in Yorubaland. I've not found such elsewhere in Nigeria in such a large qty. Certainly, African civilisation started in Yorubaland especially, Oyo

Bruh so that na why them no want change roof bah?

Quite fascinating, but why our news reporting no dey get pictures or video in this digital world where phones have better camera than some professional cameras?

Looking at the rural picture provided, your expectation is not possible.

People who can't afford windows, let roofing sheets will be unable own high resolution cameras.

It's unfortunate the person reporting such an interesting topic couldn't go there and take even just one picture except this one from a distance.

Emmypure:
Brown roof city and bad news is like Tinubu and bullion van or buhari and sickness.

Not like unknown gunmen and Dr. Akunyili

Brown Roof Republic

Light has triumphed over darkness!
The area will soon begin to witness progress and good harvests

Which kain yeye preservation of heritage? They no get money to change roofing sheets.

PavillionEnergy:


The OP should have gone to snap Government house in Ibadan to accompany it abii.
Stop calling Seun. You guys should upgrade your brown roofs. Its disgusting.

Government house in Ibadan still has brown roof.

When they talk say the tree don rise again.........
