Hangout and Advertising



Advertising is one of the major spice or Ingredients of a hangout spot. Without advertisement, a fun spot could just taste like a meal without salt.

For couple of weeks now, we had been discussing cool places to chill in Ibadan. But you might be a little disappointed if you go there when it’s a bit scanty but places like the Agodi Gardens having big brand names operating in the garden is not always scanty because folks want to go there for the names and the uninterrupted fun they provide on the regular. The amusement park lacks some level of  maintenance as at last week, even the staffs said their generator had knocked a longtime ago. Now imagine you or your children on a Mary go round depend on PHCN to go for a joy ride.


For those not staying in Ibadan, you could only imagine the state of electricity to go on that ride with your children. A park (according my view) should seeks to bring out the child in someone and maybe give one an opportunity to bond with ones children but Ibadan park is different. The songs you hear at the park contains strong Language. It is becoming an open Lounge where people take alcoholic beverages and smoke in the presence of children.







P.T Barnum also known as the greatest showman who takes pride in his business as a show man. He’s a businessman, politician and a philanthropist. He is well know for his rock solid advertisement. He was know for his fiji mermaid and General Tom Thumb. He is fond of advertising what to expect in his up coming show. It is said of his advertising by Kathy Maher executive director and curator of the Barnum Museum in downtown Bridgeport. 

 "While there certainly was advertising and promotion before Barnum came along, he took that science to new and never-before seen levels,"

The hope for the entire recreational center or hangout spot in the city of Ibadan is PT Barnum advertisement. Though the nation is old with infrastructure built long ago that even the government do not see as possible potential to generate income via tourism and culture, one with a great concept of PT Barnum could make fun alive again in Ibadan.
