Why Ibusa Must Map Its Community Now
As I work on a history project, I keep asking: Why hasn’t Ibusa produced a clear, publicly accessible map of our community? Despite surveys by local academics and government reports, these maps remain locked in dissertations and planning files, not available as high-resolution atlases for our people. Oral tradition and colonial priorities shaped our spatial knowledge but left out traditional boundaries, shrines and footpaths that define Ibusa’s heritage. With modern GIS, drone imagery and local expertise, we can create an open-access atlas to preserve our history, guide development and reduce land disputes. It’s time for a community-led mapping initiative.
