This was taken around Mapo in Ibadan city, Oyo state Nigeria.
Ibadan is also the largest city in West Africa, The premier City!

Ibadan infamously known as the "brown roof city", well you will hardly find brown roofs anymore unless you go to the core areas in Ibadan like Mapo.

I think my city is slowly losing its name as the brown roof city, as it is rapidly growing into a modern city over the years

In my opinion the best piece of poetry about Ibadan, is "Ibadan" by J. P. Clark

A 20 word, imagery packed succinct description of my beloved city

Ibadan,
running splash of rust
and gold-flung and scattered
among seven hills like broken
china in the sun.

J. P. Clark
