Why does Yourubas who can't maintain common building keep saying ancient this, ancient that?

That place at most would be 100 years old. We have cities in Jordan, Israel, Palestine, USA, UK, Greece, etc that's over 700 years and still very beautiful and pleasing.

Ancient slum ni, modern ghetto ko

It’s like I prefer the 1970 own oh.

Mumu thats just a preview of an area, ibadan is an ancient city the looks must reasonate, however that does not mean there are no places or houses covered with gerard

Those are people ancenstral homes, and most children are guided not to alter the settings .... for those who dont know there are many new site/highbrow areas in ibadan, oluyole axis, alalubosa, soka, akala way e.t.c with standard modern houses

Lets just say there is nothing to sell about a Modern ibadan ko jà owo

I have talk wetin dey my mind. If you don't like it, go to court

Ibadan Ile Oluyole

Ibadan majamaja titi ofiko arawaju lol💪

The Ibadan of 1970 look more beautiful walahi

When they want to show pictures of Ibadan, they won't show the new part, it's only the old brown roofs area that they will show.

what is wrong with the old part?

why are you ashamed of the old part and the old brown roofs area?

GRAs are not bad especially bodija. Nice night clubs but very noisy. Water is a problem during dry season.

Some of the building has undergone refurbishment.

Nothing has changed, the same brown roof everywhere. You can't even see brown roof like this in the most remote village in my state. Ibadan people are not trying at all. If they don't want to develop their state, who will do it for them.

No matter how U tried washing the anus thoroughly it would continue to smell




The brown roof region we hail thee !!!!

There is no yoruba man that I know,that is proud of his village.

Apart from the elites among them,no-one.

Whenever they leave their villages to Lagos,it is finished. No going back.

I don't know if they are scared of their village.

nonsense no growth

why court, paste your location make i shoot you nuclear head no time

Not supposed to be a city, rather a rural settler. Since it decided not to have an advanced architecture.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mr question

Omoawoke:


You are trying to communicate to people that were probably living on trees in 1970… everything to them is bitterness and hatred and they cannot reason with you


Having an ancient city is not new in any part of the world.

I was in Boston recently, they have some ancient buildings people are still living there till date. Buildings of over 100 years old.


This is Dorchester in Boston, 1911 vs 2024

Guy man go pictures for internet

U should be ashamed of yourself, u couldn't take a picture Boston where u claim u are

Backward ever, forward never

Spotting The Major Differences (Ibadan of...)
1970:
Right hand driving
Roundabout - no structure constructed
Dark tarring on the road
No cars/buses parking in the middle lane/path
Old buses
That majestic tree
Advert/Placement/Signboard by your left

2024:
Left Hand Driving
Roundabout/Junction with a fanciful/water fountain kinda structure
The tarring not so dark
Along along buses/cars parked in the middle path
Modern cars
No such signbord
Tree gone

a king does not judge a case by listening to one side of the story he must listen to both sides,this picture is better,every old city have it's old quarters and most people living there cannot afford newer roofing sheets

arantess:

Even Jerusalem is an ancient city....

Do you not see how advanced it is today unlike how it would have been in the Pharisees days?

Good! are the ancient parts of jerusalem renovated or rebuilt.

The places jesus visited are still the way they were, those places you consider advance are new sites/post- bible season

ibadan tew is like that, i have stayed in ibadan and in my axis , naa so so gerard roof you go dey see

happney65:


Olodo

Those places are called "agbo ile" where every Ibadan son and Daughter have their ancestral homes. That is how it has always been. Most of those houses are over 100years old

My own agbo ile in Isale Alfa,Ibadan clocked 90 this year. My Grandfather built it in 1934.

Most of those houses are now.empty and those that are not empty are inhabited by people that live in them for almost free.

The Old part of the city and they shall be till the very end of time.

this JP Clark's quote "Ibadan,running splash of rust and gold-flung and scattered among seven hills like broken China in the Sun"

P.S. You won't like to see the modern part which are more than the old part anyway because if you do,you won't be able to close your mouth

But the sight looks very horrible it looks like a slum no sane person should be proud of these packed and worn out poorly built buildings. The whole place really needs a face-lift there's absolutely nothing here to preserve for tourism ancient buildings we see abroad that tourists visits doesn't look poorly built and very dirty like these ones.

MadPolitician:
Make we leave am for them. They say it is their cultural heritage. That is corrugated iron sheets! I don't know how "corrugated iron sheets" became the cultural symbol of a typical subsaharan African society. I mean, we did not invent that thing, neither do we even have any indigenous company producing that. .

One was giving me an example with Venice the other day; "Its the heritage of our ancestors, bla bla bla.., can't you see the old buildings in Venice? It is the same with ibadan"!!! Abasi mbok! I just don't want to talk. All i know is that at the core of cultural stagnation is a society vigorously waging a relentless jihad against change.

That brown roof area is synonymous to ur village. When u say u r going to village, Ibadan man will say I'm going to family compound. Ppl living there now are aged and less privileged.

Make I snap picture from 1911? Did I tell you I am a time traveler?

I don’t blame you, you might be a village nincompoop with severe inferiority complex.

It’s a common knowledge, in Europe and America, there are ancient cities still standing till date. You will see ancient houses of over 100 years still being used till this day with very little changes.
Google is your friend Mr man
