SpareNo1:i can assure you that the lake isnt dirty, most typical villages attached so many myths to nature that they wont even allow an atom of dirt from anyone to stain it. The do not swim might even be to make it clean and good for drinking(according to the op, some drink it for spiritual empowerment). 4 Likes |

I like your narrative flow and your command of language. All shows that you are not a greenhorn in exploring tourist centres. It's indeed a costly assumption you made on the distance between Ìbàdàn and Ádó Àwáyè. Indeed, Ìbàdàn lo mọ̀, o mọ̀ Láyípo. But it's a wonderful experience for you I must say. 3 Likes |

You went through all that trouble for that small green lake? My visit to Erin ijesha waterfall was remarkable at least I entered the water. You can't even enter the so-called bottomless lake 1 Like |

Nice one dere OP. For any other person that might want to go again, the best way is to enter through abeokuta or better still if you can get to Joju, Sango-ota before 9am, you ll get a direct bus to Ado-Awaye. If you are going through Abeokuta, from rounder, you can get a bus to Ado-Awaye. The town is a sleepy town in Iseyin local government of oyo state and as quiet as the town is, we have lots of their indigens doing great in diasporal. One chief Ogundare I used to know was the MD of Apex mill for a very long time.He is a close pal of Professor Peller. I think the leading talking drummer of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, Ayankunle Bamimore, is from Ado-Awaye too. I met one Dele Fatokun in an insurance house in Lagos, the cool guy if from Ado-Awaye too. Aderoju Emmanuel works with Punch Newspaper, he's also an indigen of the sleepy town. Oyo state government needs to develop the tourism potential of Ado-Awaye and to open it up for more tourists. 6 Likes |

Op you took a long route. Next time, go to Ladipo (Mushin), from Mile2 drop at Toyota. Take a bike to Iseyin park. The cab will pass through Abeokuta, to Iseyin. Ado Awaye is by the roadside before you get to Iseyin. 3 Likes |
