A Stroll Inside Adesan Village

_{I created this collage}

Hello and welcome to my space! It is always a great pleasure to have you stop by and take a look at my post. Thank you all so much.

I had wanted to pay a visit to Mowe Main Market, located close to Lagos-Ibadan expressway, but the heavy rains have not allowed me the opportunity, so I will do that for another post.

In today's post, which is my first post in @worldmappin community, I am inviting you to take a look at Adesan Village, one of the many developing communities in Ogun State, Nigeria.

Adesan Community was originally an ancestral farming village in Mowe, Ogun State. In fact about 20 years ago, it was more or less a large expanse of farmland akin to forest, with farmers' huts scattered here and there.

Fast forward to today, the area has become a fast developing residential area. The plots of land that once were sold for about 100-200 thousand NGN now go for between 5-10 million NGN. I think it is safe to say that right now, it is very difficult to buy any piece of land in this area from the original owners, because most of them have sold their lands to estate developers or individuals that were quick to invest in those early days.

There are a few petrol stations, but I snapped one.

Motorcycles seem to be very common because of the bad roads, especially as there are heavy rains.

There are roadside spots for suya (grilled meat), roasted corn and even smoked fish.

Interestingly almost every building has at least a shop attached to it.

There were some other pictures, but they are not so clear, as everywhere seemed hazy.

I hope to be able to get clearer pictures next time, but I didn't want to wait till then so I wouldn't miss week 1 Challenge of the @dreemport and @worldmappin collaboration.

Thank you for reading to this point. All images used in this post are mine, taken with my Samsung Galaxy A20s.

Thank you once again.
