It is a pride being born in Ibadan, it is a great pride being a native of Ibadan, anywhere i am, i am always proud of being an indigene of Ibadan, i am fatherly and motherly born in Ibadan. Thats why i am very committed to an Ibadan Association in Offa called Ibadan Descendant Union (IBDU) which their 1st anniversary ceremony is comming up on 20 June 2009.
