Kemi Filani Tours Ibadan Zoo And Agodi Gardens (photos) by AmicableEd: 9:17am On Jan 23, 2016 |
Ibadan is a beautiful city, yup you read that right! Yes, it has its local areas and ancient homes but a lot of development has indeed happened in the Oyo state capital. I can tell you this because i recently visited it's Zoo and Agodi Gardens. Went with two of my friends. We left Lagos at around 9am and got to Ibadan at past 12 but the movement within the city (to the University of Ibadan and the Agodi Gardens) was tiring, thanks to the taffic...there is really no difference between the heavy traffic in Ibadan and that of Lagos. Department of Zoology in UI is where the Ibadan zoo is located. On getting there we had to purchase a pass ticket of N500 per person and an extra 1000 because of our camera. Penzaar, my friend, offered to be our tour guide because he has been the zoo once, as a result we didn't have to pay any additional fee to have a tour guide escort us through the Zoo. The entrance was beautiful, the animal cages looked clean and the animals look healthy. There were also gazebos where visitors can sit for shade against the sun and have their social events. I think the major Animal I didn't get to see at the Zoo was the Elephant. After spending about thirty five minutes or thereabout in the Zoo, we went to the Agodi Gardens. Agodi Gardens contains an indigenous forest, zoo, a lake and tree plantations. The garden is situated near the Oyo State Secretariat Complex. "You would love the place, it is beautiful and good for photoshoots." Penzaar said, and he turned out to be right. The Gate fee was about Five hundred or one thousand naira, i really can't remember but we weren't allowed to go in with our camera. "We charge N10,000 for official camera use" the attendant told us...and that's how we jejeli decided to use our phones as we didn't even plan to spend up to twenty minutes there We also went on the boat cruise (still within the Garden), we paid N500 for that. The lake was shamefully a mess though. See all the photos below http://www.kemifilani.com/2016/01/kemifilanitours-we-stormed-ibadan.html cc @lalasticalala 1 Like

Seriously, nothing really work in Nigeria.... Am sure that 20 years ago, this zoo was booming with animals of different kind... Now see how it looks like the warehouse of amadioha where they keep animals for sacrifice. 7 Likes |

Ibadan zoo has really fallen o! Since the demise of the great silver back Haruna I'm not sure the place has been the same. What happened to the snake? Ostrich and even the children playground that was the centre of attraction as a kid. Well let's hope for the best . As for Agodi garden you nor wise. I was there in September and they talked rubbish about paying 10k for my camcorder. Paid my N500 and still went in with the camcorder. Filmed wella. The 10k bill is if you are doing a photoshoot and what you were doing won't really qualify as a photoshoot. For those that grew up in Ibadan, is Agodi garden the place were there used to be a lot of fruit trees. I remember as a kid going somewhere close to uch with my sister for walks with our nanny. We used to love wherever that place was cos we picked loads of fruits. It is me Chukwudi omo Ibadan 3 Likes |

Nimblemind: "Diary" is a different word from "dairy". I take it that you meant the former. There's nothing wrong in appreciating good things. Many of us don't read/watch news anymore because of the negative news thrown at us every single day. 1 Like |
