Where to find what: Ibadan

Hi readers!
Being a student of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria; I’ve had non-indigenes ask me where they can buy what they want (when they don’t want to go to the mall). Few yellow pages actually cater for that need and the maps won’t really help. So, I had to compile some of these places and what they have to offer. You can make use of Google maps in locating them.
