Yeah, that’s right, we are about to ensure our city gets included and recognized on the world map.
You are probably wondering what city I am talking about, it is IB-city, that is Ibadan, Located in Oyo state, in Nigeria.
Someone would probably say it’s on the map already, No I don’t think so, I bought something online today, and requested it be imported into the country for me, and they did not recognize Ibadan, Lagos was the only place they could get it to, and this is not the first of it.
I fill forms online, I chat with foreigners all the time exchanging business development hacks. Majority of these people act like they believe Nigeria is made up of two states, Lagos state, and Abuja.
While we aint got beef with neither of those states, we love them, we love the way they put our country in the international spotlight, but what we got a problem with is the largest city in west Africa, and the second largest in Africa being treated like it is non-existent.
However, I have come to realize that this is not a slight from these international bodies, at least not on purpose, No. It is more of laxity and comfortablity on the part of the occupants who are satisfied with living quiet, unrecognized, suburban lives. But that has come to change.
If steemit gives us a voice, we might as well speak, if steemit gives us a platform, we might as well perform.
We are building an army, we a waging a war, a revolutionary warfare, we are editing history
We ‘bout to turn on the lights ‘cos nobody seeing us
We ‘bout to put our city on the map ‘cos nobody seeing us
Each meet-up is us drawing battle formations

I bet you can calculate the expansion yourself
