11 Lessons Learnt From Climbing Idanre Hills by kasunday(m): 11:24am On Oct 07, 2015
Our visit blew my mind, I thought of writing
an article based on the lessons I learnt from
climbing the hill. I hope you can also use the
lessons learnt in improving your personal
life, others, and business.
Happy reading!
The Idanre Hill, or Oke Idanre is located in
the Ondo State of southwestern Nigeria.The
hill of Idanre includes such cultural sites as
“Owa’s Palace, Shrines, Old Court, Belfry,
Agbooogun foot print, thunder water (Omi
Apaara) and burial mounds and grounds”.
It resides 3000 ft above sea level and houses
a unique ecosystem upon which the
culturalAroAro landscape has
inteAroArograted.
On getting to the entrance of the hill you will
see a great tree at the entrance of the accient
city of idanre called the IRAYE TREE, then
you can now get prepared to take the steps to
the great city beyond the hills of idanre.

Climbing Idanre Hill to the top involves 662
stair-like steps which is a strerous task that
scared tourists a way.
According to our Tourist guide, Tolu who
took us around historical site on the hills. He
told us the hills home the residents for
centuries before the they decided to relocate
to settle down at the valley on the hills. He
said the residents decided to “come down” to
the valley in 1928.
From another source, Baba Ori-Oke told us
that Idanre used to be called “Ife Oke”
before their relocation and its derived its
“new name”, Idanre which can be translated
or literally means “This is magic”.
The following are the lessons I learnt from
climbing the Idanre Hill viz:
(1) Team Spirit
(2) Believing in Yourself
(3) Tenacity
(4) Motivating and Inspiring others
(5) My fears
6) Procrastination failed
(7) Being a Coach
( cool Fun
(9) Helicopter view
(10) Resting bay
(11) Climax

Join me in Reading......

(1) TEAM SPIRIT
I discovered climbing the Hills could have
been a strerous pursiut for individual who
comes personally to catch fun. For me and
other club members who teamed-up to form
a group. Team spirit really help us to
overcome some hurdles in the course of our
exploration on the hill. Our team name is : PROGRESSIVE COMMITTEE OF FRIENDS IDANRE.

2) BELIEVING IN YOURSELF
Climbing the hill could have been an
heacleanian task by mere sighting the
gigantic monument which at the top
measured to be 5okm and cannot be
explored in a day but for 3 days.
When we are welcome to the entrance of the
hill, I had a personal goal. My personal goal
is to get to the top of the hill irrespective of
the challenges I encounter on my way up.

(3) TENACITY
Tenacity is been Tenacious. Tenacious is
holding together; cohesive; not easily pulled
asunder; tough. Being tenacious, helped me
to the top despite the discouragement from
my inner mind that almost stop me for
pursuing one of my life dream.

4) MOTIVATING AND INSPIRING
OTHERS
I motivated and inspired one of my friend
and a club to make it to the top of the hill
despite his pessimist nature. My friend, said
he would just do 100 steps out of 662 steps
and return to the valley.
I gave him hope and inspired him that he can
do it and to my amazement, my friend made
it to the top of the rock before me.

5) MY FEARS
My fears doesn’t come to pass about the
bodily pain and fatigue I may suffer after
climbing the 662 steps and walking on top of
the hill. After the climbing and returning to
the valley that housed the Idanre township.
After the excursion to the great hill, No skin
pain!

6) PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination failed to hold me back.We as
individuals deals with procrastination in our
everyday lives. Some people may argue that
they don’t procrastinate in their lives but one
way or the other unknown to them.
I would’ve procrastinate by giving my
friends excuse like ” can’t we make the next
time instead of now?”,
A friend whose Mother came Idanre nearly
gave me some procrastinating excuse like”
we cannot make to the top of the hill”, due to
time constrain and other stuffs. I listen to
him but follow my mind!

7) BEING A COACH
I became a life coach, when we all got to the
top of the hill by teaching my fellow
members real life experience from climbing
the hill to the top and I implore them to
always remember that despite all odd they
made it.

cool FUN
In everything you do in life always have fun
doing it. Having fun helped me and others to
achieve greatness.

9) HELICOPTER VIEW
Helicoper view is a term mostly in the field
of Human Resource Management. Helicopter
view means a general oveview of sometime.
Been on the hill-top gave us helicopter view
of the ancient city and the inhabitants.

10) RESTING BAY
The Management of the tourist created a
resting bay for people who to relax from
climbing the hill.
In application to real-life issues, there is
always a resting bay for you to relax and
reignite your drive for excellence.

11) CLIMAX
At last,we came down to the valley of the hill
and now you are at the valley of the article.
