I loved the jump in your first picture. Pretty cool!

Great to see nice tourist attractions in Nigeria. We need more of this. The reference to Dahomey reminded me of the movie Woman King. The story is actually about the wars between the Oyo and Dahomey kingdoms.

Thanks for sharing this gem with us

Wow my dear Ajalaress, this is so tantalizing. My next point of call is Abeokuta and target is Olumo rock for sure.

I can even sing the Egba anthem because that the first Yoruba town I stayed but I was too young for adventure so I didn’t visit the place that gave the town it’s name .

Thanks Ajalaress for the detailed description of events awaiting Travel lovers to Abeokuta.

Keep the flag flying, God bless you

What an exciting expedition it must have been Ajalaress.

I have always wanted to visit and see the Olumo rock and surroundings we heard a lot about and were taught of in school.

Imagine if this could attract the international community as a holiday destination and/or tourist attraction. How marvellous!

Definitely one for the bucket list, not forgetting my navigational skills to Abeokuta restaurant not Abeokuta street 😉
