Nigeria used to consists of 3 regions (North, East and West). Ibadan was the Capital of the Western region until May 1967. The areas that constitute the western region are now 8 states in Nigeria (Delta, Edo, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo states) Going back in history, Ibadan was formed about 200 years ago in the rubbles of disintegrating Oyo empire. Oyo Empire is of course a notable civilization in African from 1300 to 1800 AD.
The statue of the soldier you saw, was Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, the first military governor of Western Region (with Ibadan as capital) who was killed in July 1966, along with then military head of state, Major-General Aguiyi Ironsi.
@@idowumohammed4689 I think you have selective amnesia.Nigeria had 4 regions and the Midwest is the only region created through the ballot box unlike the other three that created by the British.Get your facts right
@@nosaidubor9499People raised well do not engage in gratuitous insult in simple public conversation, as it reflects badly on their innocent parents. You could have simply put out that my historical claim was inaccurate, instead of charging selective amnesia. As per your bone of contention. I made a conscious decision to stick with the 3 regions that has existed for the previous 2 decades, in comparison to 4 regions that lasted for 4 years. The 4th region was created in June 1963, during a crisis that did not abate until the regions were crashed in May 1967. The champion of minorities, who fought for additional creations of regions for the minority, was clamped in jail over specious charges. The 2 biggest regions (North and East) then colluded to split smallest region (the West). North minority was almost 60% of the population. East minority was 40%. Yet it was the 25% Western minority that they chose to carve into a new entity. The original campaign by the incarcerated Western leader was for new regions to be carved out of all the 3 old regions for the minorities.
I'm Ghanaian 🇬🇭 born Ibadanian near Ibadan grammar school. Stayed near Adeyemo if my memory servers me right during my childhood days. I miss Fadeyi TV show, weekend parties, akara, suya, moimoi, I miss Nigeria as a 6 yaer old child then.
Ibadan is one of the laid back cities in Nigeria. It is different to Lagos in so many ways. Things are cheaper and fresher, especially vegetables and other farm produce because you have more people who engage in farming as a source of livelihood. It is more bigger and cleaner than Lagos though some areas can mirror Lagos life but they can't measure up to the night life in Lagos. Lagos night life is second to none. Well done! Take good care of yourself.
@@ay1ism second to none in Africa. As no African city has more millonaires/ billionaires or night clubs In Africa making it the the place in Africa with the most night clubs. It having a lot of night clubs has more to do with Lagos being so stressful making a lot of people have to resort to night clubs to chill out after work and hours in traffic. I guess it ain't a good thing tho 😥
@@tosinojo7310 like Nigeria cities are not laid back? Ibadan is among the developed cities in Nigeria. aside lagos, abj, Kano pH and probably uyo, which other state can boast of some of ibadan infrastructures and amenities?
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! That is the campus where I was educated and groomed. I had my PRIMARY SCHOOL, SECONDARY SCHOOL and UNIVERSITY education, all in that University of Ibadan campus. Welcome to Ibadan, Africa Tigress, the city of my birth.
Good Ibadan I now n Canada al is Good , i also a studied at the University of IBadan < computer science | one of the best universites in the world All Good !!!!!😁😍👍👍👍💪!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Ibadan! Attended university of Ibadan! Such nostalgia. How I miss home! The animals used to be many. I spent my childhood going to that zoo.
You make me reminisce on my student's days on that campus. Indeed, Ibadan was a big relief from Lagos' hustle and bustle. There are many places to visit, being an educational town with many research institutes
FUN FACT: University of Ibadan is ranked as the No. 7 best University in Africa (and the best outside of South Africa and Egypt) (Source: US News & World Report, 2022)
Great job African Tigress. 👍👏 The tallest building you saw near Cocoa Mall is the world famous Cocoa House in the Dugbe side of Ibadan. It was built by the old Western Region government of Nigeria led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo and commissioned in 1965 by his successor Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola. It was once the tallest building in Nigeria before structures in Lagos like NEICOM House, Stallion House of Union Bank Plc in Marina and Lagos Continental Hotel (tallest hotel in West Africa) in Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island took over. Thank you so much for showcasing our country on your channel. ❤
Tigress, your visit was short, that was a pity. Hopefully you can return and spend some more time. One thing I've learned with Nigeria, animal care isn't done well. (I understand they are financially constrained).That means zoos and similar establishments I tend to avoid. The zoo looked like a prison and the animals appeared bored or depressed. When you know how many of these animals live in the wild you will realise that it's cruel to keep them in such conditions. Maybe this generation of animals will be the last to experience those concrete cells. Agodi gardens was a big improvement for me, that is a place I could visit.
@@realsebsworld3004 there is a difference btw constructive criticism and being just plain rude with a dose of bad belle. We do know the difference btw haters and those giving constructive criticism.
I understand what you mean but we also have other Zoos in Nigeria that are being well taken care of like the Yankari game reserve in Bauchi Nigeria… amazing place, the animals are allowed to roam and are not caged.
Great content, Tigress! Ibadan is a thriving, bustling jewel of Oyo State! I am enjoying your travels, there! Your co-host E.J. resembles an actor in the United States by the name of Bill Bellamy!
Ibadan is such a wonderful place to visit. I attended the Staff school and International School Ibadan (ISI), both located in the University of Ibadan. Thanks for bringing out the beauty of this ancient city!!!
My city goosebumps all over me now seeing ibadan city I missed the city hopefully I will come back soon.. Thank you Africa tigress for showing Ìbàdàn city to the world i actually watched your Peckham uk video when you did talk about some city's that you have been to in Nigeria and you mentioned Ìbàdàn that is one of the reasons I have to search for this episode to see how my beautiful city is fearing... Watching from Andria city italy 🇮🇹
Nice one tigress 👌 try the best you can to visit Abuja and spend sometime there, cos there's alot for you to cover...and kano state if you can. I wish you all the best 👍
@@AFRICANTIGRESS don't go to Kano, as you'll have to watch what you wear. It's still cold there anyway, a weather entirely different from the places you've visited. If you can dress more like them, then Abuja, Kaduna & Kano are great places to visit. Special culture & different foods.
Please visit Abuja. All those places, Ibadan and co have no insight to show about Nigeria. Please visit Abuja. It is very easy to get around. That city will amaze you. There are some RUclipsrs based in Abuja that you could link up with. Leave Ibadan I beg.
Yea the Cocoa mall is the center, but there are other malls like Ventura and shop rite at ring road. Visiting Lead City University, Ibadan is also cool
I appreciate all this. I was born in this city some 60 years ago, l left when I was around 12 years and I never seen that city again until right now. More grease to your elbow.
Next time Queen visit the ancient Kingdom of benin.You would be able to walk through and among the people and streets that produced the world famous Benin bronzes and it has been made UNESCO world heritage site. You would see the remnants of 10,000 miles Great wall of benin. And if you want to be away from the city visit the Okhomu wildlife perhaps the only remaining undisturbed rainforest in west africa.
Almost all you travel bloggers get to Ibadan and stop. You are almost in Ile ife the cradle of yoruba culture and there is a lot to see in Ile Ife that would blow you away, a lot of cultural stuff, a nice museum, the cradle of life, the osun Grove, the Palace of Oni, it is a place to be. In Ile Ife, you will hear all the tales of how the yoruba culture started with archaeological evidence. So many tales
I'm not from West-Africa . As a little "football nerd" I remember back in the 80s and 90s this town used to have a strong football team Shooting stars. You have the likes of Rashidi Yekini, Adepoju etc... Who played for Shooting Stars.
Well done, though 48hrs wouldn't have been enough to showcase Ibadan....Bower's Tower, Mapo Hall, David Hinderer's House at Cathedral Church of St David, Esu Awele's shrine at Oja 'ba where where every new Olubadan must visit before coronation, amongst others. "Ibadan ilu ori oke" Ibadan the city of hills.
Nice Job. Try visit Abuja before you leave. Most foreign RUclipsrs only go to Lagos and sometimes get to Ibadan. Non go to Abuja. Abuja is also a nice place
My African Tigress. You actually did well by considering and including Ibadan city in this period of your visitation. First of all the round building you see around that mall is actually a bank, First Bank PLC and it's one of the oldest in that city. It's so sad that Ibadan city with nice topography, the state government over the years has failed to develop the city potential by failing to provide project that will aid investment in that state. Ibadan undoubtedly, should be next trendy city after Lagos in Nigeria because it's rich in Yoruba history and culture, in the sense that it's only in Ibadan that you'll get to see people communicating with each other in Yoruba without caring if speak you speak in English or pidgin. It also has major federal government established institutions like the first television station in Africa NTA, First University in Nigeria, first Sky scraper in west Africa (the tall building close to that mall), first University teaching hospital and so forth. Next time you visit try locate Bower's Tower and Mapo hall. I'm not even Yoruba but i just love Ibadan city with passion, and that's my place of residence, my city. Thanks y'all for listening to my Ted Talk...you welcome!
@@brightgeorge5222 Ibadan is chill place, very affordable and family oriented. I did a 3 months internship there. I told myself if i was going to settle back to Western part of Nigeria, Ibadan would be the place.
Hello African Tigress I love that you visited Ibadan. Agodi gardens is a beautiful place love the train ride Lagos to Ibadan. ❤️👍🏽 keep up the wonderful work you do
IBADAN actually means "e ba odan", that is to say, "by the side of a tree called odan". Long time ago, in 19th century, the Fulanis from the Northern part were attacking the Yorubaland, they had already conquered Ilorin, a Yoruba city and were moving down South! The Yorubas that fled from the Fulanis and other local wars settled by the side of "odan" tree, in a place now called IBADAN! So, IBADAN is a place where many Yoruba groups settled down.
@@adamasimolowo8285 you're correct. After the conquest by the Fulanis, you either join their faith or be killed. The Yorubas consider the Islamic doctrines as too harsh and strict therefore, they usually refer to Islamic faith as "Imonle" short form of "Imon li le" that is, a very strict/harsh faith.
@@AFRICANTIGRESS I'm from Delta and I would say warri might be too rough for you. Maybe try Asaba in Delta. In Asaba you will be in very close proximity to the famous Onitsha (anambra state)with some of the biggest markets in Nigeriw and you will cross the famous Niger Bridge . Warri people are just crazy free spirits and very direct with great vibe. But can be rough at the edges. If you are strong you will enjoy them. But they don't take any nonsense ooh. A warri guy can even fight his governor or president he doesn't do eye service or kiss ass 😅😅 . And we have rhe mkst unique pidgin (phd levels 😅. So if you are up for it you will def have fun
@@truethots3088 Hehe, fight their governor. I'm Yoruba born and raised in Warri. I always have issues with my Yoruba pastor here in Canada cuz he says i'm too outspoken. I don't do all those yeye "yes sir".."yes daddy"..that yoruba churches are famous for. I even once refused to go on an errand because he told me to go immediately after church service. I told him he should have informed me on time or at least the day before. He was so annoyed. One of the church member who is Urhobo (Delta state indigene), but grew up in Lagos told the pastor to forget my yoruba name. That my culture is different because i did not grow up in the Western part of the country 😁.
Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi was killed along with General Aguiyi Ironsi in 1966 at ibadan when Ironsi visited ibadan as a head of state and Fajuyi the host was then the governor of Old Western Region.
Tigress ask them about the city called Onitsha is more like Lagos.... Onitsha have the largest market in Africa .browse about it main market onitsha ...buh the city is really rough and more rough than Lagos you have to go with someone who knows way
