How I Beat Lagos Traffic (2) (3) (4)
8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down by Ajorosun: 6:31pm On Dec 18, 2015 |
8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down Lagos snatched the title of the largest city in West Africa from Ibadan and has moved on to be the largest in Africa. But even in the face of serious banter, Ibadan has scored points in areas Lagos wouldn’t even dream of. Here are 8 of them: 1. Free flow of traffic. Except on really bad accident days and during execution of construction projects, it is very possible to drive from a far end of Ibadan to another in less than two hours. Just look at Lagos traffic. 2. There is enough space for everyone and everything, Ibadan is thrice the size of Lagos. Ibadan has a landmass of over 27,000 sq km . But Lagos has a landmass of 3,577 sq km with a current population size of approximately 21 million . Even the beaches are crowded. 3. Because of the free air and less traffic, the people are not angry. The heat, stress and traffic in Lagos is enough to make someone angry forever please. even the beaches are crowded 4. Three words: cheap cab fares. The fares is sometimes as low as #20 in Ibadan 5. Rent in the suburbs is cheap too. This two bedroom flat in Ibadan is #350,000 per annum , no need to drop one kidney to pay the landlord. 6. Abundance of historic monuments and tourist sites. Ibadan has more evidence of Nigerian cultural heritage than Lagos does. The best part is that those places are very accessible. mapo, Bowers tower etc 7. The crime rate is lower than in Lagos. While broods of petty thieves and armed robbers swarm in Lagos, fewer cases of crime is usually recorded in Ibadan. 8. You can totally ball on a budget. Not like this exactly sha. Will you move to Ibadan in the near future? Lagos is too stressful for you? 6 Likes 2 Shares

Re: 8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down by jomoh: 7:23pm On Dec 18, 2015 |
Ajorosun: Bros. Dat place na our play ground on our way home way back in sec schl days. It wasn until Akala converted it to GRA that it developed. Now a very beautiful area. |
Re: 8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down by Ajorosun: 7:28pm On Dec 18, 2015 |
jomoh: I think that place is the best in Ibadan for now. It has rapid development compared with Alalubosa GRA |
Re: 8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down by jomoh: 7:43pm On Dec 18, 2015 |
Ajorosun: You maybe right. One fact to that contributed to it was its relatively small space and the face that most of the land was already tarred for aircrafts. But then we have Akobo. It has more that 5estates surrounding each other only that its too vast for it to develop rapidly. Another disadvantage it has is the road network only two major entry and exit for such a wide area. Bros u never arrange this thing well o. Lalasticlala no go put am for frontpage it e no dey arranged o. |
Re: 8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands Down by Ajorosun: 7:52pm On Dec 18, 2015 |
jomoh: what contributed to slow development of alalubosa is the price and the poor roads in some parts of the estate Akobo's location is another problem. it's located at the extreme end of the city though it's a very cool estate |
