There’s no doubt, Ibadan is the largest city in West Africa. They have the widest range of people just like their land.
Apart from the city being one of the few cities that still tell what olden days looks like. The city has the weirdest citizens. When I say weird! I mean “weird weird”
There’s a way we identify Ibadan city in movies or music videos. You know it right? That old and ageing zinc.

Ibadan people are…
1. Naturally funny
Ibadan people are the funniest set of people, and the funniest part is that they do it effortlessly.
I was in a cab one day and this driver overtook the other driver carelessly, instead of him to admit his mistake and move on. Baba said “so o po oro’wo mi”(Are you saying you didn’t see my hand before I overtook you).

Invite Ibadan people to your party at your own risk. No dull moment with them around. They like food too especially Amala. They will finish it for you if you are not careful. They will be like “s’amala ‘un ku”(Do you still have Amala).
