Oyo has been perpetually cursed with lousy leaders. A state with so much potentials and population which still enjoys Yoruba's ancient knack for community and organization. We have 3 million people in Ibadan, over 1 million in Ogbomoso and 700k in Oyo town and there is nothing tangible to show for it! How can we have so much human capital and the state is still in disarray!

It must be the Adedibu effect, the leftover influence of that illiterate kingmaker, enforcing mediocre leaders on the state since the 80s.

I wonder when Oyo will look like those village you are referring to?

lmfao

One of the largest city in Africa (Ibadan) had gone past what your small useless anambla is experiencing now.

is it not this same nairaland that your iPod team were celebrating the first flyover in IMO state? what even osun state have forgotten that they have.
keep living in fool's Paradise.
the whole world knows that alaibo is the most underdeveloped region in southern part of Nigeria.

I will even take an eboyian serious than an anamblan. upon all the bragging and Onitsha made lies. one will think the igr of anambla should be rivaling that of Tokyo.

Ibadan is the biggest slum in Africa

Yeah, Oyo may be in shambles compared to a Lagos or Abuja, but certainly not any state in the SE. Even shambles sef get levels.

And Aba is the dirtiest city in the World. Interestingly, our cities might be old and rusty, but certainly not DIRTY like y'alls.

Panzerfaust:
I swear, Oyo state is like one huge ghetto.

I blame the citizens of the state... Nigerians generally adapt to anything and everything...

NOBODY protests about anything...
If a governor does not perform, the citizens of the state can't call for his impeachment they'll even praise him and his P.Party...

After 8years, ask the governor what he has done, he'll show you petty mediocre mumu projects and they'll still hail him......

Ajumobi needs to save for all his daughters wedding, his wife's 60th birthday and also save for the future.... this might be his last chance....

according to oluwole bureau of statistics, Ibadan is a cesspit of Nigeria. A city where virtually all the buildings have rustic roof and cocoa is the only modern building, the last time development reached Ibadan was in the 80s.

No wonder zinc oxide poisoning and lassa fever is the order of the day in that part of country.

where I come from is well known here, so keep deceiving yourself. Ibadan must be declared as a disaster if it must be developed from its present stone-age.

inlandtaipan:

They do that at their own peril. Oyo State is too blessed to be where it is at the moment. There are so many industries that should be revived and so many infrastructure projects which should already be in place. I am really not happy with Oyo and Osun states. Oyo for lack of ambition, Osun for over ambition but reckless fiscal management. What the *uck do we need an airport for in Osun State like really? Spend all that money on an airport that we know won't be patronized and they sell Ede cocoa processing plant to the chinese coz they can't afford to revive it!!! Isn't that insanity?

Well Yorubas are not known to shy away from introspection and self criticism. That's how we grow.

Now don't delude yourself thinking any SE city is as big as Ibadan economically o. Let's not push sara beyond the moshalashi

Jesus!! Ibadan is so 'dead' that it's larger in mass, population AND economic activity than both Owerri and Enugu COMBINED! Ibadan doesn't need an airport really coz of its proximity to Lagos. Ibadan comprises of about 11 local govt., Enugu city is just 2 local governments (only 2 local govt. in the entire state is developed, the rest (15) are undeveloped villages (quote me), Owerri is even out of it, neither of both glorified towns are as big as Ikeja. You must be high.

Owerri gets ten times more passengers than ibadan. Nobody visits ibadan, its not worth visiting.

Crisis in Yoruba land

Ulli Beier: There was a short time in Nigerian history — between Independence and the first military coup — in which we lived through a period of great optimism. Financially the people of Nigeria were relatively well off, and they assumed that with independence, things were going to improve steadily. In the West, people believed in the benefits of universal free primary education. They were proud of being the “First in Africa” to have set up a television station. The University of Ibadan was functioning and had a good reputation. Night life was boisterous; people could afford to go out, drink beer and listen to really good bands. Even in Osogbo, which then had 120,000 inhabitants, one could hear three or four bands at weekends. The Yoruba Travelling Theatre was booming. A decade after independence, Biodun Jeyifo counted about a hundred Yoruba theatre companies —all managing to survive somehow off their performances. People actually preferred the theatre to the movies. But then, those were the days of Ogunde, Ogunmola, Duro Ladipo and the Orisun players. Where in the world could you find a comparable constellation?
Wole Soyinka: There was ferment!

Ulli Beier: There was no official planning; little government interference. It was a natural growth. If you now think back to this period, how do you view it with hindsight? Why does it appear to us now as a “golden age” rather than a mere beginning? (From Ulli Beier in conversation.)
Hmmm. Really. Why would a period that was supposed to be our beginning appear to us as actually the golden age? If the take-off of an aeroplane is the only memorable moment of the flight, then that journey is not just a farce, it is a tragedy. When a people have nowhere else to turn to with pride but the past, then they do not need to be reminded that generations after that “golden era” have all failed. And I am not talking about Nigeria now. I am talking about the old Western Nigeria from Ikeja through Benin to Sapele. Nothing can be more devastating for a pupil whose reputation of being the constant first in class is shredded by a distant competitor.

Ex-governor Peter Obi of Anambra State got me thinking. Two weeks ago, he was giving an account of his eight years stewardship and he announced some figures: N75 billion as credit balance in the state’s accounts and no debt over-hang. That figure, he said, included balance in savings and in investment. Then the big one: Anambra State under him invested in bonds issued by other state governments. Since he made that statement, I have not heard anyone say he lied. It was a combination of these that actually got me thinking —Anambra State that was not paying salaries post 1999, pre-2003; Anambra State of war and lawlessness in Chris Ngige era; the same Anambra that was home of violence and inexplicable crimes. Obi said the state he was leaving behind was not owing anybody a dime; rather, the state invested in bonds issued by other states! Then, I remembered that out of the six states in the South-West, only one has not gone to the Capital Market to take money through bond issuance. What has that told me? It means that my South-West is indebted to South East’s Anambra State — and that is serious. I know some partisan fellows will say ‘and so what?’ They can say so because for such fellows, the only reference they make to the past is using it to cover up the eczema of today. None of the founding fathers of Western Nigeria would ever imagine that a day would come when Yorubaland would owe Iboland.

Some international financial experts have warned that the current craze for bonds by African countries, including PDP’s Nigeria, will soon lead to what they call “Eurobond curse” just as the continent is wracked by “resource curse.” Some queer commentators would say the warning was directed at national governments. At the state level, the alarm bell should really sound louder. A recent report quoted Joseph Stightz, a Nobel prize-winning economist, as warning that “the financial sector loves to find people to prey on and their most recent prey are governments in developing countries.” The same is happening at the domestic level. Cash-strapped state governments should know that there are no friendly financial institutions. They are in business to make money and it does not matter how.

I do not know what economics is behind the current craze for bonds. Some are even saying bonds are no loans. What are they? Gifts? Won’t they pay back? And at what interest rate? They would even pay costs of the transaction — they call it ‘issue costs?’ Are there consultants packaging these bonds? If there are, who are they? What are their fees?

Yorubaland currently suffers unprecedented, unfortunate and insulting, venal shut-out in the affairs of the PDP Federal Government. The alternative regimes in the states ought to give reasons for hope, not debt over-hang. Nothing should be done by anyone to bond the race to a future of criminal servitude. Governments have to provide amenities, yes. But have we forgotten what our ancestors said about he that eats benefits derivable from a child even before that child is born? Exactly what Niyi Osundare described as “eating tomorrow’s yam today ”!
