I love ibadan

Ooduavanguard and his fellows just got busted. These people are stealing Akwa Ibom pictures and posting them as pictures of Ibadan. Ooduavanguard just posted a picture of Goodluck Jonathan flyover in Itam, Uyo and labelled it Mokola flyover.

Shame on you lot.

Akinegba1

You just made a huge mistake!
That's mokola flyover not some Jonathan’s paper work.

Whether or not you are defensive about it - reality simply does not care. When it bites - it bites hard.

What do US inner city ghettoes have to with this matter? Focus on your problems and their solutions. If the Americans choose to ignore their social problems, does that make them go away? Can you see the connection between the current problems in places like Baltimore, Ferguson etc. and the refusal of Americans to confront the seeds of those problems when those seeds were sown long ago?

You remind me of Nigerians (far too many of them) who are fixated on image rather than problem solving. "Aesthetic packaging" will not solve Ibadan's problems. Targeted, focused action is what will do the job - not PR jobs executed in the form of glossy pictures - in print form or online.

If you have been hearing about the negative side of Ibadan for years and change has been marginal or non-existent, is it not time to ask some hard questions?

Save your sermonette for Church service Tomorrow (Sunday), abeg. Me I'm here to celebrate the POSITIVES, yes, the aethetically beautiful side of Ibadan. You may live in a bubble where the ideal is all that matters to you, but Ibadan will never be an 'ideal city' coz none of such exists on earth -- Lagos isn't, New York isn't, London isn't, Tokyo isn't, Paris isn't, Toronto isn't, Berlin isn't, Milan isn't -- all these cities have their slums/ghettos/poverty e.t.c. We don't live in an ideal/perfect world.

Of course you can keep lamenting like Jeremiah, na your wahala be dat.

Ibadan is a city to watch.

How much of the food and other items produced by Nigerians in Nigeria and properly packaged are sold in those shops/ eateries to ensure there is EMPLOYMENT for our farmers, agribusiness investors and factory owners

Don't you agree with me that an INTELLIGENT person should be more concerned with these issues

That is instead of embarking on a useless my-region-better-pass-your-own based on the presence of South African businesses - a country that has NO regard for Nigerian lives going by their recent XENOPHOBIA attacks on foreigners!

^^^^
My old foe/friend anonimi. You remind me of Brazil/Real Betis' striker Denilson (now retired) - capable of pure magic some of the time but maddeningly, frustratingly inconsistent most of the time.

There isn't much to add to your points up there. Not much to add at all.

I hope your post triggers some much needed thought among us.

What an interesting thread.

The old Ibadan thread hit about 130pages in just four months, the thread would have been in hundreds of pages by now it the hackers had not shut down nairaland server.

The haters were silenced and always given the link whenever they ran their useless mouths.

Ibadan has it's ugly and very beautiful sides.

What a city to reside.

God Bless IB City.

God Bless Yorubaland.

God Bless Nigeria.


Proudly Yoruba Bam Bam.

's willing we will be in ground to post Ibadan pics again, when the mods unban me.

Random Beautiful Ibadan Residents catching fun

Random beautiful resident of Ibadan city.

There are already lots of Ibos in the SW and in Ibadan. We need to send them back because we don't want ibo haters in our region and cities, abeg don't come and if you are already in Lagos or any other non-Ibo state, abeg go back to your father land. The SW has done a lot and too much for ibos but they are still criminals, kidnappers, drug pushers, long throated and ungrateful. We don't want more of your ilk, rather people from Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Edo, Rivers, Delta can come but not Ibos!

I understand you.....but please sheate you sword....let look for a common ground to unite.
In other word . ....i love every state in yoruba land be it ibadan or down kogi /kwara.
PROUDLY ODUA!

More random IB folks...

9ice, SeanTizle and Saheed Balogun in IB

I see no brownish golden rusty roof which is trademark of Ibadan

Now I have called you out on your BS, you accuse me of sermonizing.

The facts are there. Take them or leave them. I gave you facts on key Human Development Index stats in Ibadan - you may choose to ignore them but they will not go away.

I am definitely not living in a bubble and I do not expect perfection. I gave you stats in which nearly 100% of a sample of households in your beloved Ibadan depend on well water for basic needs - well water that is at high risk of contamination from septic tanks. Do you know the health costs (to these households and communities) of typhoid fever and other water borne diseases? Do you even have an idea? I challenge you to look for the results of published studies that are far more rigorous and comprehensive than mine - are the results similar or not?

I gave you stats on how nearly 100% of a sample of Ibadan households rely exclusively on pit latrines for their toilet needs. Those pit latrines were in very poor - I repeat - very poor shape, exposing users to deadly communicable diseases. Am i being idealistic for highlighting these truths? Or you are angry simply because these truths are inconvenient?

You would rather highlight the presence of KFC and shoprite as indicators of development, while the owners of these businesses repatriate their capital and profits at will. (By the way - let it be clear I bear no ill will towards these entrepreneurs.)

Focus on substance and not spin. Ibadan needs a lot of work. To deny this and focus on 'aesthetics' or 'celebrating the positives' is to do her people a disservice.

Bofoy > i will not tolerate this nonsense that flyover is at uyo that is itam flyover . Some picture frm uyo . Shame

Ok

All is see is nothing but old houses, old roads old structures in general . Peoples pix everywhere

I'm done exchanging words with you. Tomorrow is a few hours away, when you get to Church, preach it!

Ok
