Did You Know?
Ibadan was for much of the 20th century the largest city in tropical Africa by area, a sprawl of rusted roofs visible from the hills. Nigeria's first university opened here in 1948.
The clock: Ibadan keeps UTC+1. Its Cocoa House, finished in 1965, was the tallest building in tropical Africa at the time — paid for, as the name says, by cocoa.
