Yea true, I really believed in the one Nigeria thing, but coming to nairaland and seeing how crappy other Nigerians are to other tribes makes me look at Nigerians differently. I still love them though

Favor99:
Lol no I used to, but not anymore. I just laugh very loud and ignore them now

akdjr:
We have very beautiful tourist attraction around in Nigeria, but the only challenges is that visiting some of these places can be scary due to some prohibition like u can't climb a particular rock, u can step into a place with ur shoes on, u can't have sex inside the place etc.

Favor99:

Edodefender:
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.

PapaBrowne:
Interesting info.
Is Somorika same as Ososo?
If no, what are the differences?

oomngsvr:
If only Edo people realize how much shame and disrepute the human trafficking syndrome has cast on them they would renege on such inhumane and infinitely demeaning practice. I join to commend the Oba for taking a public stance to publicly condemn it.
