Wow. Edo state is truly blessed cos I did my Nysc there. Beautiful views everywhere especially the interiors (rurals). I had an unforgettable experience at my ppa then. The thought of the satate still rings in my head everyday. Would love to go back someday even if for tourism.

Nigeria ain't worth loving, the Edo people didn't sign up for this zoo we were forced.

Remember that, your people are the ones to care for not others
We shouldn’t let their hatred, jealousy and tribalism make us think that way.
Still let’s care for all Nigerians and all people in general. We are in this together. Let’s be our brother’s keeper

They are different places. Somorika is to the left of Igarra the LG headquarters while Ososo is to the right. There are about 7 villages in between them. Ososo is usually cool like Jos

Never knew there is always a carnival at Ososo. I only know of the age group festival in the community i served then. Also experienced the new yam festival for the first time in my life. Great experience I would live with forever. Nysc made me fall in love with the state i swear.

Somorika is a town in Akoko Edo located about five kilometers north-east of Igarra.

Somorikans are believed to be Benin warriors who reneged on a military assignment during the time of Oba Ewuare of Benin and found an independent kingdom for themselves. Their leader, Orudu is believed to have hailed from Usilowa quarters of Benin.

Somorika is known across Nigeria and beyond for it spiritual shrines where people all over the world come for all manner of physical and spiritual healings.

To get there would mean ascending seven hills, each hill has its own uniqueness and they all have names. Ogundugundu is the longest and highest of them all.


The natural rocky ascents that go as high as 1700 feet interspersed at unequal intervals that fill the borders of the village.

As with many ancient settlements, it has a lot of mysteries, history and works of art which are not man-made.

One of such geological wonders is the Oriakpe – the big rock wearing a little cap shaped like a human fingernail. Whether natural or not, these works, rocks, caves and springs can compete with any tourist destination in any part of the world.

It houses natural rocky ascents that go as high as 1700 feet which are interspersed at roughly unequal intervals that fill the borders of the village.

Somorika also contain artificial rocky hangers that served as formidable defenses for the Somorikans during the British assault of 1904. These formations of boulders like smooth topped rocks appear to have been concentrated at the summit of the Kukuruku hills.

Somorika was reputed to have served as relaxation and vacation spots for British officers and their families during the colonial era due to its exciting landscape.
