IBADAN DESCENDANTS UNION OF GREATER WASHINGTON DC.
Ibadan City is the land of the warriors. The City of Ibadan was founded by Lagelu, Ogunmola and Oluyole from Ile Ife. Ibadan people settled in hilly and mountainous areas in order to fight their enemies in the surrounding communities who posed to be unfriendly. Ibadan City is a big market for all Yorubas because it is a comfortable City for all visitors and traders. Ibadan people believed in many religions and are a very well and highly educated people. It is the capital of Oyo state and seat of the Government in the old Western Region of Nigeria. Ibadan City remains popular.
