Cocoa House.

Cocoa house was once the tallest building in tropical Africa. It is located in the city of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state in Nigeria. The 105 metres building completed in 1965, was built from proceeds from commodities (e.g., Cocoa, Rubber and Timber) of the then western state of Nigeria.
Cocoa house is a property of Odua investment company limited and was formally called Ile Awon Agbe (House Of Farmers).
Peaceful and Accommodating Atmosphere.
Ibadan is known for her peaceful and accommodating occupants.
Disparateness, the popular saying that Ibadan accommodates everyone may not be true because violence, stealing and robbery rarely have a foothold in the peaceful city.
Cost of living is also favourable and corps members that have lived in Ibadan can easily testify to the fact that the cost of feeding and living in the city is relatively low compared to other cities in Nigeria such as Port Harcourt and Lagos.
The cost of goods and services is very cheaper than in other places.
Another advantage that Ibadan has is the easy and efficient transportation network with people moving about with fewer encounter. This is made possible by the effectiveness of the transport system present in the city.
The major merits of these city (Ibadan), is the closeness between this city and Lagos, it makes it possible for people to conveniently travel to and fro Lagos on for hustle. This also contributes greatly to the economic development of city.
Though I'm from Osun State but I was born and brought up in Ibadan.
