Watch this space for a new series coming from my NYSC experience here in Ibadan. "IBADAN TODAY". you can send your Ibadan stories to me let's share.
I want to use his opportunity to thank social media for giving me different view of what Ibadan looked like, I was expecting to see a *modernized village* Buh I was disappointed and came up with this shocking facts
1. There are more goats in Ibadan than any other state in Nigeria: I saw more goats today in less than 2hours in Ibadan today than I have seen since the 2001 when I left Ilorin. There were goats everywhere, seem they kept goats as pets instead of dogs...cause I didn't even see a single dog.
2. They use red oil to fry akara: this is scary, akara is reddish already, you now worsen it by frying it with red oil. Omg!!!
3. There are more bikes than there are roads in Ibadan: f**k school when I can just become an okay a rider, I guess that's the motto in Ibadan as almost everywhere I went there are okadaS *emphasis on the capital letter S* they were so many you could find yourself in one sef unknowingly.
4. The names of places in Ibadan sound like****** : I thought Lagos had the worst names Buh take a chill pill and hear this I.e berefoko, dugbe, onireke, bashorun, molete, and the world renowned tourist center Challenge, etc don't bite ur tongue o, trying to pronounce it.
5. There are good roads in Ibadan: the good part is that there are good roads in Ibadan, yes! Tarred road!! Don't be surprised it's true.
6. Not everybody is a beggar in Ibadan: although there are beggars lying on the road!! Yes o road begging for money( if car jam them now, *God forbid) also there are beggars at every traffic light stop, also in dugbe shoprite there are beggars IN shoprite. There are also tush people here too sha, not everyone is a beggar.
7. Everybody understands Yoruba in Ibadan: you literally don't need to ask if you understand Yoruba here just speak it....they other person understands, you will need to ask if they understand English tho...
8. There are tall buildings in Ibadan: not sky scrapers Buh they sha tall, I never hexpereedit.
9. There are fine houses in Ibadan: not all the houses here are mud houses, some of them are fine too, tho almost all the government offices looked like they need help.
10. I should have shown you pictures but I didn't go out with my iPad cause I was scared ....thus leading to the last point.....There are nice people in Ibadan: not everybody is a warrior or decendant of sango here there are nice people here.
Don't take this too personal o, it's just for joke. They may be true o Buh they are exaggerated.
