Some people consider Abeokuta town, with her rocky landscape and historical features, a portal between the physical and the spiritual.

There are a lot of places and experiences that are worth exploring, that make for great memories and photo-ops, as well as offering a chance to learn more about this historic town.

1. Visit the National Museum Abeokuta

To walk the path of the ancient peoples that lived in Abeokuta, a visit to the National Museum is a must. Boasting relics from the rich past of the town, the museum also offers tours that are both enlightening and fun.

2. Climb Olumo Rock

The most famous landmark in Abeokuta is the Olumo Rock – a hill that served as a hiding place for the Egba people during the slave-taking expeditions of the Yoruba Civil War – and the town itself is named after it, as Abeokuta means ‘under the rock’.

There are man-made stairwells that make climbing the rock relatively easy, and along the way are shrines, usually tended to by women, dedicated to different gods. Getting to the summit of the hill is worth the climb, for it gives you the aerial view of the whole town, lying in the valley, and of the Ogun River, snaking its way through the forests that surrounds the town.

3. Visit Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library

The Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library is a library owned by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a former President of Nigeria. It is a historic, tourist and academic centre established as a national archive for the preservation of documents and materials used by the president during his tenure as the president of Nigeria. The library is located at Abeokuta, Ogun State in Nigeria.

4. Visit the Centenary Hall

Located opposite the Ake’s Palace, the Centenary Hall in Ake’s area of Abeokuta was constructed in 1950 to commemorate the one hundred years that Abeokuta had been in peace after the last inter-tribal war.

The building of the Abeokuta Memorial Centenary Hall emanated from His Majesty Oba Ladapo Ademola II, KBE, The Alake of Egbaland to commemorate the Centenary (100 years) of Egba settlement in Abeokuta.

5. Stop at the Oyan River Dam

The Oyan River Dam is in Abeokuta North local government area of Ogun State in the West of Nigeria, about 20 km north west of the state capital Abeokuta.

The dam crosses the Oyan River, a tributary of the Ogun River. It is used primarily to supply raw water to Lagos and Abeokuta but has the potential for use in irrigation and power generation.

Just like the sophisticated mos who started building houses b4 other african tribes,... manchester is filled with 18century brown roofs

What explains the absence of Brown Roofs in your region? Abundance of huts with tree branches as roofing materials and thatch as sheets.

Stop the fuckery and let's think on how the country will progress.
