i cant see ignorance here. too open for a glaring veiw. do you know how a buifing will arise to 27 floors. hope you know how floors are structured. Not a long pole without function.

There is no single pole any of the buildings in Abuja.

Tallest building are measured in meters not floors dummy.

vaxx:
but you shouldnt. i did not quote u. or do i. i only ask for question from forgiveness. 27floors is enough for skyscraper more than any abuja building

a skyscraper is a building of 100m and above irrespective of the number floors.

Am not replying you again. You have notting much to offer apart from your fowl mouth

NairobiWalker:


So did all Nigerians' forefathers live in Ibadan?

No, we have a alot of them.

Ibadan happened to be the Capital of Ibadan Empire.

And the Yorubas are one of the few African tribes that lived in urban areas.

NairobiWalker:


I give it to Accra. I knew all the strive against Accra being the Washington DC of Africa was because you wanted Abuja to be that.

......and Ibadan has skyscrapers? Really? lol. You're a funny guy.

What makes a city Washington DC of Africa?

Of course, Ibadan has a skyscraper way before Kenya and South Africa dreamt of having one.

Leave the history to me . Nigeria swells in deep history.
*Yes we have a lot of them- Benin, Kano, Sukurr, Sokoto, Ife etc.

Benin had the largest earthworks in the world which took 150 million hours of manpower to build. It also had one of the earliest mathematically grid-planned cities in the world as well as one of the first cities to adopt a system of street lightning.
Kano was a medieval walled city that produced scholars and flourished from trade especially through the trans-saharan trade routes. Leather and other fine goods produced in Kano and hausaland were valued for their quality in European courts.
Ife produced some of the finest and realist works of art in the world during the middle ages. Over a thousand years ago, Ife had paved courtyards and streets.

*Oyo empire not Ibadan empire. Ibadan was just a provincial city, the captial was Oyo.

*True as well as Edo and Hausas.

Besides, Oyo empire is different from Ibadan Empire(though they didn't succeed in the unification of the whole tribe).

where do you get your benchmark for 100m. it this is what wikipedia says about skyscraper and by this standard. accra has one that beat nigeria. A skyscraperis a tall, continuously habitable building having multiplefloors. When the term was originally used in1880s it described a building of 10 to 20 floors but now describes one of at least 40–50 floors.[1]Mostly designedfor office, commercial and residential uses, a skyscraper can also be called ahigh-rise, but the term "skyscraper" is often used for buildings higher than 50 m (164 ft). For buildings above a height of 300 m (984 ft), the term "supertall" can be used, while skyscrapers reaching beyond 600 m (1,969 ft) are classified as "megatall".[2]

Ibadan also had a skyscraper before Dubai had one but that's a single building that stands out as a sore thumb in the middle of badly planned ugly midgets. Sorry sir, that's not enough to call Ibadan a city of skyscrapers.

I don't know why you're so inclined on this Ibadan having the first skyscraper. A skyscraper is a skyscraper irrespective of the time it was built. Nairobi got KICC 4 years after ugly Cocoa House was built and KICC is now a small tower in the mid of numerous other skyscrapers. Furthermore KICC is still an architectural masterpiece.

When Ibadan was growing, the seat of power was still always Oyo.

good for the link. i will like to know the number of floors abuja skyscraper has. U said high rise building should be around 12 floors. But villagio vista double tthat mark. Give us abuja floors nymber？

The definition of highrise and skyscraper in structural parlance are different.

Ibadan already rebelled against Oyo empire. They were independent and a semi republic empire.

NairobiWalker:


You're welcome to The University of Nairobi. My alma mater - run away from those crappy Nigerian universities. It is a nice university at the city center of Nairobi.

Is University of Ibadan a crappy university?

leathalbeast:
you were ranting that Abuja is better but such a nice city shouldn't have slums surround it. should it?

I don't know what you mean by slum but even as that the great rio de janeiro still got his own favelas.

obaaderemi:

True

forgiveness:


No, Accra doesn’t have a single structure at 100m fit to be called a skyscraper. Meanwhile, Ibadan and Lome have a skyscraper each while Abuja has two already with one underconstruction.

Maybe, you meant highrise which must have 12 stories atleast but despite that Abuja still has more highrise than Accra.

well is subjective sha.

what has minding my business got to do with being objective?you think everybody must be biased like you ba?ABUJA is more beautiful than ACCRA simple.

So, the Gbayi people, the inhabitants of the land, no be human being, ba?

Whether you like it or not Abuja is/will/shall remain Nigeria's capital.

Besides, we are talking about the best Architectural designed houses or building in both cities and I can assure you that Abuja is ahead in that regard.

Is the whole Accra greater region developed?

Oga, I have been to Accra and Tema countless times.

80-90% of Accra is developed

this is what another information on wikipedia says. paying attention to multiple floors. skyscraperis a tall, continuously habitable building having multiplefloors.

your beautiful city called Abuja is surrounded by slums, stop pretending as if you have no idea about what I'm saying.
