The Rustic Ancient City of Ibadan

Ibadan was an immersion into pure Yoruba culture. The panoramic view of the endless brown roofs from Bower’s Tower was unforgettable, and the colonial grandeur of Mapo Hall stood as a proud monument to the city’s history. The energy of Bodija Market was intoxicating, a beautiful chaos of sounds, sights, and smells. Every meal was an adventure, culminating in the legendary Amala, a dish that defines the city’s culinary soul.
