This isn't Nigeria. A simple Google search of this image shows that this is Ruaya National Park, Tanzania.

The Taraba governor recently warned the Army authorities that Boko Haram are presently relocating to the Taraba forests. So anyone going to this National park for site seeing is on his or her own...Be warned o

I don't believe the park is actually like this
maybe Photoshop added life to It
cuz one thing I know is anything owed by state or federal government is not maintained.
besides why are there just few pictures of it
its real oo, I just did a little search on google to confirm it myself.


[b]The Northern, Gumti sector of the park is relatively flat and covered with woodlands and grasslands, whilst the Southern, Gashaka sector is more mountainous and contains vast expanses of rainforest as well as areas of woodlands and montane grassland. This rugged terrain is characterised by steep, thickly forested slopes, deep plunging valleys, precipitous escarpments and swiftly flowing rivers. Altitude ranges from 450 metres above sea level in the wild savannah plains of the Northern sector, to the peaks and pinnacles of Gangirwal in the Southern park sector, which at a staggering 2,400 metres above sea level, represents Nigeria's highest mountain.

It is the sheer variety of different habitats within Gashaka-Gumti National Park that makes the area so uniquely rich in wildlife. In fact the park is actually an intricate mosaic of montane grasslands, savannah woodlands, swamps, lakes, mighty rivers, dark lowland rainforests, and luxuriant, montane rainforests strewn with ferns and orchids. Each habitat supports its own distinctive community of plants and animals.

Rainforests provide a haven for animals such as the Giant forest hog, leopard, Yellow-backed duiker, Golden cat, and many different primate species including chimpanzees. Woodland savannahs are home to buffalo, lion, elephant, and Wild dog, as well as various antelopes such as waterbuck, Roan antelope, kob, hartebeest and the world's largest antelope, the Giant eland. The mountains of the park harbour populations of the rare Adamawa mountain reedbuck, in addition to Black-and-white colobus monkey, baboon, warthog, oribi, and klipspringer. Whilst its largest unspoilt rivers contain hippos, crocodiles, otters and a wide variety of fishes. The park is officially labelled as one of Africa's "Important Bird Areas" - and with more than 500 species found here, this is certainly no exaggeration. Visiting bird watchers constantly add new species to the list. An additional abundance of creatures such as butterflies, flowers and trees, makes this park a naturalists' paradise, unrivalled anywhere for diversity[/b]

Oyel nor let us see road.

At least Arewa will have own income source after Nigeria has divided. Until then oil will not make anything work.

When will you wise up?

I said middle belt; and not North Central.

You obviously don't know what the middle belt encompasses.

It will red for you Hausa/Fulani soon enough.

Who is land grabber? You're the one. Because Taraba has always been Northeast. I will rather advice you to stay in your Plateau state and zip your mouth or else risk deportation.
