Ibadan is a city in Southwest Nigeria.
This is the largest city in the whole of Africa in terms of geographical mass; it used to be the capital of the entire Southwest Nigeria region excluding Lagos, and is now the capital of Oyo State. Its historic significance in the affairs of the declining Oyo Empire have endowed it with a lot of places to see and its location at the edge of the Yoruba heartland makes it an ideal location for an exploration of the major Yoruba cities which might not always have as many developed facilities for the foreigner as Ibadan has.
