Another fact is that is that since Donald left, the frenzy that came with the core attraction of Obudu which is the ranch is ebbing fast.
Liyel was the worst thing that happened to CRS.
As for Ayade, he's too playful and excited to be taken serious. But he (Ayade) is still better than Liyel.

Good, bad, worse. The worst is in the hatchery doing press ups. Chai my good people of CRS. Abasi doo.

Obudu is a popular name on people's lips in Nigeria. However, even with how popular this destination is, there are still a couple of things that are misconceived or unknown about the place. To fill in the gap, Michael Uzoma Michael shares amazing facts about Obudu.

1. It's a Local Government Area and Town:

Obudu is a Local Government Area in Cross River State, Nigeria, and a tourist hotspot.

The area features a tourist resort, the Obudu Cattle Ranch.

Once the name 'Obudu' is mentioned, a number of people assume it's the Obudu Mountain Resort that is either being referred to or being shortened to the form 'Obudu'. However, this is not always the case. Obudu is actually a Local Government Area and town in Cross River State, Nigeria, that features the Obudu Mountain Resort (formerly called Obudu Cattle Ranch) among other features and recreational facilities.

2. It Has a Dam:

The town of Obudu is downstream from the Obudu Dam which provides recreational facilities for people in the area. The dam is located within the Obudu crystalline basement plateau and was commissioned in 1999 for use in farm irrigation, fishing, and for recreational and tourism purposes.

3. It has a Plateau:

The Obudu plateau is found on the Oshie Ridge of the Sankwala Mountain range in Cross River State. The Obudu Mountain Resort (formerly called Obudu Cattle Ranch) was developed on this plateau. The plateau is found in the Obanliku local government area of Cross River state and is a giant massif spread over an area of over 40 square miles and rises to about 5200 ft above sea level, with its peak reaching to a height of about 1,716 metres above sea level.

The plateau is known to a habitat of rare species of birds.

4. It Hosts an International Mountain Race:

It called the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race and it's an annual mountain running competition that takes place in late November in Obudu.

The race is known as the 'World's Richest Mountain Race' because it has the largest total prize money available of any mountain race. The race is an associate member race of the World Mountain Running Association (WMRA) and endorsed by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF). However, in 2015, due to huge financial challenges the government of the state indefinitely suspended the race.

5. It has a Nearby Airstrip:

The Airstrip is called Bebi Airstrip. It's an airstrip serving Bebi in Nigeria and it also serves as the airport for the Obudu Mountain Resort. It's runway is 18 kilometers east of the town of Obudu and the airstrip primarily serves as the aviation gateway to the Obudu Ranch resort. This makes Cross River state the only state in Nigeria with a flight route connecting two operational airports within the state.

go back nd do ur research properly,,,, u r totally wrong about obudu,, possibly u did ur NYSC in cross. Sry ds ur view is wrong
1 Cattle Ranch is in Obanliku not in Obudu LGA
2 Sankwala is in Obanliku not in Obudu
3 The airstrip at Bebi near Utanga settlement is in Obanliku not Obudu
4 The international mountain race is done in Obanliku "Cattle Ranch" not in Obudu
OBUDU IS VERY VERY HOT just like Benue nd Enugu weather......
Out of this ur write up,, only the dam in Okwuologudu "Obudu" is correct.

BEST FACT:

Obudu indigenes offer their wives as 'refreshments' to their guests as a sign of good hospitality.

But the stingy ones will give you their wife's wrapper to place on your bed and sleep on.

I was lucky, my Obudu friend isn't the stingy type, he offered me his wife whom I gladly accepted and when they had gone to work this next day,
The cook took the place of his wife.

Unfortunately for me, his daughters were in school.


Please try and visit Obudu someday.

Thanks Emperorgoke....
The write-up has plenty of flaws.
Yes Obudu is a local Government Area in Crossriver, but mot of the things you listed, the Bebi Airstrip, et. al. are in Obanliku.
I was C.L.O. when I served there (Obanliku - Sankwala) so I should know...

Another fact is that is that since Donald left, the frenzy that came with the core attraction of Obudu which is the ranch is ebbing fast.

Cross River State is now a shadow of its self...no offence to Cross Riverians.

Btw, how is it i never knew about the Airstrip.
