Dear Ibadan YouTubers, No be me buy camera for you oooo. But enough of the restaurants and lounges. Go and show us what schools look like, what farms look like, what inside a company looks like, what inside a particular industry looks like. Contents like “This guy makes 100 million naira just rearing goats in Lalupon, Ibadan” “Top 10 most expensive schools in Ibadan” Etc etc. That’s where the views are.

Being an MC gave me the opportunity to visit so many places, especially some beautiful places in Lagos and Ibadan. So, if you’re relocating from Lagos to Ibadan and wondering where you’ll feel most “at home,” here’s a simple cheat code 😄 📍 Bodija = 🇳🇬 Ikeja GRA / Magodo. Comfortable, organized, professional crowd, good food spots, and enough calm to make you forget Lagos traffic trauma. 📍 Akobo = 🇳🇬 Lekki Phase 2 / Ajah. Fast-growing, estate-heavy, young families everywhere, and new buildings appearing every weekend. 📍 Oluyole Estate = 🇳🇬 Banana Island / Old Ikoyi energy. Spacious houses, quieter roads, and the kind of area where generators are backup plans, not survival tools. 📍 Ring Road = 🇳🇬 Allen Avenue / Maryland. Central, busy, commercial, and connected to almost everything important. 📍 Challenge = 🇳🇬 Oshodi. Pure movement. Parks, traders, buses, noise, confusion… and somehow everybody still understands the system. 📍 UI / Agbowo = 🇳🇬 Yaba. Student life, tech bros, cafés, cheap food spots, hostels, and enough young people to make the area feel permanently active. 📍 Jericho = 🇳🇬 Surulere. Old-school prestige, calm streets, loyal residents, and a “we’ve been classy before social media” kind of vibe. 📍 Dugbe = 🇳🇬 Lagos Island / CMS. Traditional business district energy. Banks, offices, old buildings, traders, and serious weekday movement. 📍 Iwo Road = 🇳🇬 Ojota + Jibowu combined. Transport hub madness. Everybody is either arriving, leaving, shouting, or dragging luggage. 📍 Akala Expressway = 🇳🇬 Agege. Strong street culture, hardworking residents, lively atmosphere, and food spots that deserve national recognition. 📍 Iyaganku = 🇳🇬 Alausa / Ikeja Government Reserved Area. Corporate feel, government offices, cleaner roads, and a more structured atmosphere. Which ones did I get right and which did I miss?
