Hello EVERYONE, I was in Akure and thought to take you with me❤❤ thank you for your constant support please join me move this channel forward by clicking the SUBSCRIBE ICON if yours is still showing RED and pls click LIKE icon and don't forget to share the video thank you ☺
Oya Tolu let's go and eat pounded yam in Akure lol 😆😂😂. Just kidding oo😅 . You are making me feel homesick and move back to Naija 🙌😎👍. I am almost tired of this Obodo Oyibo life in the west.
Ondo state is definitely one of my favourite states in Nigeria, l wish the infrastructures was slightly better though.What most Nigerians don't realise with Akure is the position, if you like to see the rest of Nigeria or in distribution business Akure is the best place to base. From Akure to most part of southern Nigeria,llorin,lbadan, Ekiti, osun, Ede,lfe, oshogbo, Auchi, Benin, Warri,Asaba/onitsha, even up to lokoja is less than 3 hours drive and lagos is within reasonable driving distance as well....Thanks for sharing Tolu. Cheers!
yup.. growing up we normally travelled to onitsha, warri, lokoja, etc when wanting to buy certain products for business. I'm in Port Harcourt now but don't mind returning at retirement.
Please, I am looking for a place to reside after my NYSC. My interest: Real Estate companies Digital Marketing companies Government works/Jobs Bank Jobs. Peaceful Area. Normal food and house rent prices lower than east Nigeria. Not too religious people. Welcome Businesses like Photography and Barbing. Please, can I get these in Akure? Please help me, I don’t have much time to decide again. Thanks.
Thanks Tolu for bringing these pictures of Capital of Ondo State ,inside me was released and I’m happy why because you just showed me my original home .
Don't know what it is about my fascination with Ekiti, but I have always fancied having something in the state even if its just a chalet in the hills for retreats. Ondo looks very chilled out and easy going my kind of environment 👌🏽😌🙂
Thank you so much ma for watching and sharing with us...I was thinking before recording would my lovely subscribers want to watch this or they are used to Lagos I am glad I did this. Thank you for sharing I appreciate it 🙏
@Charles Ugochukwu You dey joke abih? You are talking of the Lagos that you see today that is like Shanty. The lagos I knew was beautiful before overload came.
If ogun state that is very close to lagos is like that I wonder how ekiti and osun will look like,we don see ondo na😂😂😂 owon tinubu built lagos ,lagos former capital of Nigeria built with oil money dem dey claim say na tinubu built😅😅
That is my hide out, ma'am. I used to visit Akure when I am a bit tired of all the hassles in Lagos. I often stay in Alagbaka and tour the bushes and mountains. Akure people are very friendly people. Thank you for this video.
@@thabisothejane5328 Can you point out where I said Nigeria is better than South Africa? There you go again. There are some quiet resorts I used to visit there when I am tired of Lagos chaos. Akure is old town. Despite having said that there is nobody living in zinc-made shack like in SOWETA. Jeez!
@@youme1414 you're constantly commenting on the Living in sa tv page , I know you very well. And we're constantly telling you that people who live in those zinc-made houses are foreigners unlike in Makoko where it's mostly Nigerians. And you'll never find South Africans in Nigeria but you'll find many Nigerians in South Africa, that alone should let you know how advanced SA is compared to Nigeria 😂😂😂
Akure is such a peaceful and quiet place to stay and very underrated in terms of standard of living and so on. Grew up here and it's the best place to live for me..what a beautiful place 🥰
Great video Tolu. I left Akure exactly 30 years ago in ‘92, having grown up there since its inception as state capital in ‘76. I’ve only been back there a few times and I must say it is AMAZING how much the place has changed/developed since then. Your video really helps to highlight this to detail. Thanks.
Thank you Tolu for your video. I was born and raised in Akure. You took me through developments that have taken place in the over two decades I have been gone. Places like the Mall that I knew as Owena Motels ,Dome, Judiciary Headquarters. Even the Pounded Yam Village. My ancestral street, Arakale Road and my Ijapo Estate Home. Although I didn't see the homes, but travelling the streets with you is just a treat. Thank you.
Born outside Nigeria but, grew up in Lagos. I never knew Akure was a city. I thought it was a town considering that my dad made us travel through SW and I've been to Ekiti and onwards to Benin. I've been to Ibadan Oyo and the towns in between. Then I've been to Onitsha, Enugu and the villages/towns in between. NORTH - Only Jos & Abuja. I wish to travel to Nigeria but the fear of Kidnappers & terrorism gives me anxiety. Thanks for the tour.
Were you able to get an answer, 🎉I think having train stations building all over south west will channel the populations in Lagos to other places and create opportunities and development
Alagbaka Estate was under a very serious constructions with a serious verse open arcas of Land till needed or required by the Local government, then, for development, many many many thanks, and an excellent video.
Tolu very well done! Watching this video makes feel nostalgic as I have been back home from London a few times but haven’t seen Akure in 22 years! It all brings this wonderful city back to life for me. I miss the great OSRC tower so much!! You have a subscriber here.
I have been to Royal Bird. But only stayed at the first floor. Reception. Tho. A reservation was already booked. It has a nice spacious rooms. I went there for conference.
Hello, really great video I must say! In 7:09 you said you were still at Alagbaka estate, that area isn’t Alagbaka estate actually. I think It’s NEPA road or something, but it’s definitely not Alagbaka.
Why are there no stop signs anywhere in Akure. It’s sad that common stop signs are not erected anywhere which can save lives. Also can someone tell us what the water corporation is doing when there is no water coming from the corporation to supply citizens
Your channel is great and you are more beautiful, but there are some mistakes when shooting the video. It is better for you. You are shooting in front of me without moving the camera left and right. There is also an error when trimming the video. Here are the errors. It is better for you to make the video continuous without cutting the video, as well as not to move the filming to the right and left, and make the frontal shooting full screen, and next time try once when you shoot and make the shooting with a full screen forward and without moving the video so that we can look at the streets as a whole with the houses
Vision less governors all over Nigeria. None of them can turn their so called cities into a world class city. A country like Nigeria with tremendous resources can do better than this. I only love Tolu
What has guvnor Fayemi has done in Ondo state that he wants to be the president of Nigeria ?See the roads of Akure the capital of the state., instead of focusing on the development of the state he telling lies on what he has not done. He should go and learn from govnor Seyi Makinde how he's transforming Oyo State within 4 years. Fayemi is there stealing people's money and wants to be Nigeria president in his dream. If any of the presidential aspirants that are currently governor can not show us how beautiful his state is with his transformation should forget his ambition Nigerians don't want mediocre has our president.
@@elizabethalicia1173 I am sorry if Fayemi is not the governor of Ondo state, whoever is the governor of Ondo state has not done anything to be proud of, if the roads of the state capital still looks like these ones I am seeing.
@@abosedefapohunda7966 you don't expect a single governor to finish all the road of ondo state, go to ondo state and view by yourself, compare the before and the after of governor akeredolu coming to office then you will know that he tried, am from ondo state, so I know
@@elizabethalicia1173 a governor that last paid his state civil servants in December 2021. We are now in June 2022 by the way!!! You guys should stop worshipping mediocrity. People are suffering. A bankrupt state led by a bankrupt leader.

Thank You so much for watching and for the suggestions. People asked me so show them the buildings and things not just forward that is why I turn the camera so can they can see properly I used to record straight in the past. Also, if I don't cut the video it will be too long and they would get bored that's why I shoot and edit this way. Thank you so much I always appreciate suggestions its helps me improve.
@@ToluNazzal I wish you continuous success and continue and do not stop and move forward and you will be one of the best people who photograph, but keep going and here your success begins
