But you were defending the validity of your "subjective" list as if it was authentic.
Btw, who told you bayelsa is just swamps? Even at that , swamps are the definition of tropical.
Rocks and hills as depicted in your list is synonymous to arid/savannah regions. There is nothing tropical about rocks and hills.
I was expecting to see beauriful vegetations and wildlife regions, not rocks, hills and aridity.

When did mountains become synonymous with aridity/savannas only? lmao... there is no arid place in my entire post. Most of nigeria's wildlife is in the North, in locations like Yankari, Kainji park, Gashaka Gumti Etc.
You don't agree with my list..... Which is fine

The solution to that is Simple...

MAKE YOURS.

If you go there in the dry season, it will be dry, if you go there in the rainy season it will be lush and green
This is Kagoro hills in the wetter periods of the year, is it arid?

Now you're talking, i agree with that.
I visited it in the dry season, even the rocks were hot to the point of explosion.

A list created by a renown tribalist.
I have been to ekiti and osun on company sponsored excursions sorry there is nothing "naturally breathtaking" there except for one or two places .
Akwaibom, bayelsa , and enugu are more naturally breathtaking than all the states in your list and both weren't even mentioned.
In fact, when it comes to tropical beauty, the SS and to an extent the SE are the hot zones in Nigeria.
You must be a unsalvageable tribalist or irredeemably ignorant.
Throw this list into the trash.
I don't see tourists scrambling to visit any of those places in your list except cross river.

Lol. This man is angry.

But bros, I think I agree with the op o. There are many places you don't know about. The fact that tourists are not scrambling to get to those places ( including your Enugu) is as a result of the poor tourism culture in Nigeria. This doesn't remove from their beauty.

Not to worry though, as humans we always get tired of seeing the same things. Other known tourist destinations would soon become less endearing. Its the little known places like those we have here that movie producers and tourists/ adventurers would be looking for.

Probably by that time it will be one of the few with little disturbance from modernity.

In my opinion I think adamawa state is the most beautiful.

This List was compiled by a ROBOT. It can't be human.
