cool Omo see wonder - I need to pay a visit to this tortoise. cool

I failed to utilize an opportunity to visit this tortoise in 2009 when I went to Ogbomoso on an official assignment. A bike man told me abt it and was abt taking me there when my colleague discouraged me calling it a mere tortoise. And each time I read abt it I just wish I paid it a visit.
