The dam extends for about 10 kilometers Most of the structure is made from earth, but the center section housing the hydroelectric turbines was built from concrete.

4. Gele Head Wrap
One thing that Nigerians love to do is to express their style through fashion. For ladies, the Gele head wrap is one of the most essential accessories to have. If you go to any party or wedding you will definitely see most women adorning their Gele's like crowns to match their outfits. The Gele is uniquely shaped to the wearer's head. This mean that each Gele wrap is unique, as you can never have two of the same style.
