Nigeria has such untapped tourism potential. A friend is visiting Nigeria for the first time and this is what they have mapped out to visit. I looked at the list and was like okay this is actually a good plan.

I visited Olumo Rock in Abeokuta recently. One of Nigeria’s significant historical landmark. It was a historical haven with living history of the Egba people; from the Ile-ife Shrine to the chambers that serves as hideout for the warriors during the war times to the carved step
