You can visit the places shown and other tourist spots?

The English primer back in the day used to be about the Bako family who went on a trip to every state in Nigeria (I think).

I've only been to the Erin Ijesha Waterfalls & Ikogosi Warm Springs, thanks to school excursions. EIW really is a sight and the water is lovely (I was hella thirsty, the pure water they packed tasted like dettol, it sure as hell smelt like it). Nigeria, you really should have booming tourism...**sigh**
