Ibadan is the intellectual capital of Nigeria, home to the first public and private universities in Nigeria. It is usually called the ‘brown roof city’ because it has many ancient buildings whose zinc roofing sheets have rusted over the years. Ibadan is peaceful, the pace here is slower than many of the surrounding cities. Traffic is not usually an issue. Homes are affordable, you can rent a lovely 2 or 3 bedroom apartment for about a third of what you will pay for the same in neighbouring Lagos. You will certain enjoy living in Ibadan as there are many tourists sites and recreation spots here.

Ibadan is an ancient, low-cost city in southwestern Nigeria. The social life is well above average with a boisterous nightlife. Transportation is more relaxed than you find in other cities of the world, though the vehicles are mostly rickety. There are a couple of fun places to visit, ranging from gardens to hills and lakes. The most celebrated meal is ‘Amala with Abula’; Amala is simply yam/cassava flour prepared into a mould while Abula is a mixture of Jute leaf soup and beans soup.
