Ijoko

Ijoko is a town in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. It is occupied majorly by the Yorubas.

Get in
You can get into Ijoko from Ogun State by bus or car. You have to enter Ifo local government first, then you can board a bus from any of the bus terminals over there.

Buy
You would see local stores almost everywhere in this area. There is also a central market in this town.





Eat
Like almost everywhere in Nigeria, you are sure to see a local restaurant in all corners of the town. You just have to be careful of the one you choose to eat in. You can get foods like rice, beans, amala, eba in most of these restaurants.



Drink
You can get drinks from most restaurants, hotels or beer parlours.



Sleep
There are several low budget hotels in this area and they are decent enough for their price.







Connect
Most locations in Ijoko have 2G/3G/4G mobile network coverage. Service may be disrupted the farther away you go from the city center, and you might occasionally experience network outage for all or some of the mobile phone service providers in those remote areas of the city. Different networks tend to be more stable and reliable in different locations of the city at different times.

If you are planning a visit to this city, you should probably consider having multiple SIM cards, preferably for all the mobile service providers, since you can't tell which will be more stable and reliable at a time in your location during your visit. And if you will risk not having any of them, you might be better off not risking the MTN network, because, from indications, it seems to perform well than the others, though its rates may be high and its offers and services might be stringent, but you are less likely to be concerned of erratic voice and data connection compared to others.

Airtel is another service provider which is fairly satisfactory for all you might need to connect to the world, including rates and network stability. Of course, Glo (or Globacom) boasts of fast network speed for internet browsing activities, but that might not be enjoyable in some locations in Ijoko. And 9Mobile usually also performs well in internet browsing speed but not without locational limitations.
