Ibadan

Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State in Nigeria, is situated on seven hills with an average elevation of 700 feet (200 meters) and is approximately 100 miles (160 km) from the Atlantic coast. As one of the most densely populated cities in the country, Ibadan’s origins remain veiled in mystery, preserved primarily through oral tradition. According to accounts, the initial inhabitants of Ibadan were individuals seeking refuge and were expelled from neighbouring villages for legal reasons. Over time, this modest community expanded as immigrants from various regions of Yorubaland, now part of western Nigeria flocked to the city.
