Compared to the locales I spent time in at Ibadan, Akure looked strikingly well laid out...The pedestrians, the vehicles and everything moving carried on in a charming slow motion. I fell in love with the place immediately. The main Oba Adeshida road, which divides the Oja Oba (King’s Market), looked crowded but unruffled, a feature I found also soothing.
That was Pelu Awofeso's simple take on Akure, published here
