Do you think tourists are coming to see a brown shacks roof? Brown roofs symbolises nothing about culture rather its an old style that should be gradually modernise. As you want your opinion about the preservation of the old roof to be heard ypu should respect and accomodated the opinions of those like me who are of different opinion. We all love the modern areas of Ibadan. I am a born Nigeria living in Europe for more than 35 years. I watched most of your videos for years now. Welldone.

Definitely everyone is entitled to their opinions, but some of those buildings already changed their roofs, but the roofing sheets being used will turn brown from the initial whitish color after few years. Those roofing sheets are the cheapest in the market and most people prefer it in those areas. So except they go for the modern ones that does not change colors later, that’s the only way to gradually replace the brown roofs. Thank you 🙏…..

Nothing is wrong with brown roofs. It's like saying Europe should ditched their old architecture for modern sky scrappers like Tokyo, New York and Singapore.

We like the brown roofs… nothing wrong with them… it gives the city character and charm

Thank you Gbolahan and Isaac for showing the beauty and pride of Ibadan

Good to see South West living up to the standard we all deserve....integrating Ibadan with Lagos level will further expose Southwest to prosperity and industrialisation. I like the fact that Ibadan has modern cities and as well kept the traditional Ibadan city. Ibadan also seem to have more inner roads in unpopular areas than Lagos. Gbolahan, you are doing a great job. Watching from QA

Most people don't get it. Compared to other parts of Nigeria, Ibadan developed way earlier hence those ancient brown roofs. It's a shame politics made Ibadan stagnate for a long time. Ibadan's resurgence is long overdue.

Nice video, this is the best I've seen about Ibadan, really beautiful as against all those who use to show it as an ancient city. More high-rise need to be built to improve the modernity. ❤

As for Ibadan, you only see as much as you can look.. Ibadan houses a good number of research centres both national and global consortium as well as universities, public and private. Most of the brown roof building are located in the ancient areas. They are private houses and except individual renovate them, it is a no, no issue for a government except you do not want the government to do any other things. Ibadan is the second largest city in Africa mind you? In Ibadan, the modern handshakes with the ancients.

Ibadan my residence city what's a large city

Bodija is like the Ikoyi Of Ibadan. Apart from the big man area, the rest is nothing to write home about. Even the city center is surrounded by brown roofs

Looks like east legion Accra Ghana

Watching lbadan city remind me of vudeos of kigali somehow.l think lbadan has what it takes to even be more beautiful than kigali actually. The governor, makinde is trying,but he needs to keep pushing on and keep maintaining the city infrastructures.Thank you.

Absolutely stunning. Ibadan is really changing for good, taking on modernity. The ancient part only urban renewal and regeneration, in terms of tarring of the alleys and getting the indigenes do some renovation (plastering of the mud walls, painting etc)

There's nothing attractive about brown roof, it shows the level neglect and lack of progress in the area. L

One thing with most yorubas is the corny nature of always trying to give excuses for everything. Na Wetin land all of us for where we dey today in Nigeria. I’ve lived in Ibadan for 11 years before I permanently relocating to Enugu, and I want to say the main reason is because of these kinds of old structures which never goes away and it drives me insane. When I got to Enugu I felt like I was in South Africa which should’ve been the case. That was also my first experience of the south east. See..The UK is also an old place so is many parts of lagos and porthacourt, even Benin. But maintenance and steady upgrading culture is what makes the difference. We can have historic buildings like makpo hall and so but not keeping such homes everywhere and claim it’s heritage. And when people call out about it they feel bad which goes a long way to show the people need to work hard to improve their standards of living in terms of housing. One thing you won’t take away from Ibadan is the good people of the state asides the current surge of tribalism all over Nigeria imposed on us by politicians and we fall for it leaving the real issues on ground. while they loot and steal away our common wealth. The only reason the igbos seem to be different in terms of housing is because they’re very resilient people and hence everyone is literally competing to become better then the next person. The only problem they’ve had in the past years had been good roads in some states which they’ve started fixing all over. I think most Yoruba should learn from them and stop expecting government to do everything which they’ll never do. I love the city and I still have friends in Ibadan but I needed an environment much better to some extent. Honestly na Nigerians go save Nigeria because if that 90b was for example handed over to Muslim youths which Yorubas will gain a lot from, I’m sure many will make money and upgrade their homes. Even the government can subsidize grants for this things but they’ll never do it. Atleast makinde is trying but the people have to step up their game. There’s no excuse for having such building. Atleast get them renovated like it’s done in Britain then call it a heritage project.

These people are just talking nonsense and doing stupid videos that is unnecessary. Who are people complaining about “Brown roof”?. So are you saying those houses should be destroyed and rebuilt?. Probably those people talking this nonsense don’t have any heritage or history in their families and their forefathers didn’t built houses they can cherish. My family house is in Oja Oba area of Ibadan and my father built other houses in Challenge and Ring road area of Ibadan. We have areas we call “Agbo ile “ that is where our forefathers settled or live before the Morden days. So please be guided
