Flat-sharing in Ibadan, honestly
Ibadan flips the Lagos logic: it's Nigeria's cheapest major city — self-contains average around ₦200k and ₦500k rents a genuine two-bed in Bodija or Akobo — so people share less out of desperation and more to upgrade. Two students split a 2-bed for near-bedspace money; two remote workers who left Lagos split a Jericho or Oluyole flat and still spend half of what one of them paid in Lekki.
The sharing hotspots follow the campuses and the exodus: Agbowo and Sango for UI, Apete for Poly Ibadan, Bodija and Akobo for young professionals — Akobo alone is the fastest-moving rental pocket in the city. Prices are climbing fastest in percentage terms of any major market, so locking a good shared place early beats waiting.
