This was what was "Normal" before the wave of feminism in 2012.
Feminists have done such a great job over the last few years to ensure these are no longer acceptable. Many have learnt and become educated despite the resistance.
I hate to show negative things about Nigeria but it is sad that Nigeria is the only unmanned booth at TICAD9 in Japan. Upon all the folks who probably got estacode for coming to Japan
Only God knows how many Japanese folks have asked me about the unmanned booth seeing my dressing.
So ashamed I have now designated myself as Honorary Consul and taken over the booth to engage visitors.
I have now answered questions ranging from solid minerals to housing to landmines to manufacturing to automobiles.
No time to even ask ChatGPT. Thanks for residual knowledge from investing.
Dear @igbo_marry_igbo,
Thank you for your post. The reason Ibadan has a lot of homes with rustic roofs is not because they are dilapidated. Dilapidated means in a state of disrepair. These homes are not in states of disrepair. They are rustic. Rustic means having a rural charm that is pre modern.
To give you an insight, Ibadan is the third oldest city in Nigeria after Benin and Kano. It is also the largest city in West Africa. The government of the Western Region of Nigeria established by-laws to protect the rustic nature of Ibadan. The Oyo state government retained those laws. What that means is that you cannot build or rebuild these structures without express planning permission. The intention is to retain the rustic charm of Ibadan.
If you travel to Oxford and Cambridge, or if you Google images from those two university towns, you will also find rustic buildings. Tuscany in Italy is another place with a rustic charm. A rustic building is actually more valuable than a brand-new modern building, because of its ancient nature.
A lot of these homes you now call dilapidated were built at a time when there was no single modern building in a particular region of Nigeria. As at the time Ibadan residents were dwelling in these rustic homes, residents in that region were naked and dwelling in mud huts. I have multiple photos, if you would care to see them. But please do not insult me, because I did not take them.
Mapo Hall, Ibadan, which is one of these brown-roofed rustic buildings you now insult, was built in 1925. It is ninety-nine years old. In 1925, only Northern Nigeria, Lagos, Badagry, Calabar, Ota, Port Harcourt, Warri and Benin had modern buildings.
When you do not have ancient rustic buildings in your community or region, you can be forgiven if you do not know their value and call them dilapidated. Ibadan also has the first skyscraper in West Africa-Cocoa House, built in 1964, as well as the first TV station in Africa, the Western Nigeria Television Service, built in 1959, in addition to the first university in Nigeria, established in 1948.
Ibadan city alone attracts more tourists annually than one entire region that I would prefer not to mention. They come to see the rustic buildings you call dilapidated. They visit without being molested or kidnapped. And they are welcome every day, including MONDAY!
Thanks again, and may God bless you.

As a 37 y/o established man, you left equally accomplished potential mating partners to marry a 19 y/o teenager.
You did it for control, not love.
You didn't see a partner, you saw an "investment" and ,boy, do investments go bad.
I have no iota of sympathy for Emeka Ike.
Amazing. I was at work when an American couple sat down & I engaged them. When I informed them their nation had failure of leadership as literally over 600,000 Americans perished to COVID, I told em how Buhari allowed experts to navigate & control our COVID response,...
No food, water, electricity or baby formula, babies in Al-Shifa hospital can only cry until they die, & I doubt @JoeBiden will try to count them https://t.co/l7sRcqtOmb
the reason the hasan minhaj stuff is frustrating me is cause it's crazy that a brown dude has to pull out receipts to prove he faced racism because a white woman put out an article to intentionally make it seem like he never faced any.. what does she even know abt racism?
