5 Must-see Sites When Visiting Kwara State. by landmark86: 10:18pm On Oct 28, 2019 |
If you ever want to visit Nigeria, then Kwara State is the place to be. It is a peaceful state, full of natural resources and public infrastructures in the midst of investment opportunities for both the government, expatriates, and the locals. Kwara State is located in the North-central geopolitical zone of Nigeria and was created in May 1967. Here are 5 must-see sites when visiting Kwara State. 1. Esie Museum – The house of some ancient people that turned to stones. The Esie Museum is located in Esie, a town about 53 kilometres Southeast of Ilorin in Irepodun LGA. This museum is more or less the first of such in Nigeria – having been established in 1945. The major attraction in the museum is the large numbers of human-shaped stone figures, depicting various human activities. The popular myth surrounding the stone figures is that millions of years ago, the local people of the town committed a grievous offence and thunder struck, turning everyone into a stone. The current shapes of the figures is said to reflect what the people were doing at the time they were turned into a stone. The stone figures were first discovered in 1775.

4. Owu Waterfalls The Owu Waterfall in Kwara State is sometimes referred to as a “wonder in the wilderness.” It is one of the highest and fascinating waterfalls to watch in West Africa, cascading from a height of about 120 metres to a pool of foaming water below. Visitors will enjoy swimming in the pool or just watching others enjoy themselves while taking part in a picnic. It is also possible to check out Owe Kajita waterfall, the Ahoyaya falls in Jebba, and the Ubo Aiyegun Lakes.

This is not how countries make money from tourism. In customer Relationship Management, there is some thing called cross sale. It's a process where a seller controls an entire value chain. If I was to visit these places, there are other things I might likely spend money on are related to tourism. Take the beach for instant. is there any hotel close by? cinemas, casino, efficient transportation, horse riding, zoo? There are companies that could operate around their. when you do cross selling, you collect more from a customer. You are selling TV, you have antenna, DVD, speaker, TV stand etc. PS: Someone just got a clue to improve his business from here. Don't forget to pay me so that the blessing can stay. |

I wonder if Nigeria suddenly opened some branch of the casino, there would adhere to the style inherent in the casino? For example fashionmagenta.com here you can read in General what styles exist in the casino. and it is likely that this would add to the positive status of Nigeria. perhaps the country would be richer than it is now |
