Kajuru Castle is a luxury villa, built 1989, in early medieval style at Kajuru village in Kaduna State, Nigeria.

Contrary to speculations, the Kajuru Castle located in Kaduna is not an ancient monument. Interestingly, it was built in 1989 by a controversial German expatriate who lived in Kaduna at the time. This breathtaking architectural master-piece is a tourist wonder of sorts. The style is very European and clearly German with a baronial hall, complete with suits of armour.

In the castle, there are bedrooms looking like dungeons and several towers with crenulated walls. Beware; there are also, the crocodiles in a pit protecting the huge castle like gates! The road up to the castle is not a journey for the faint hearted, neither is it for vehicles without plenty of HP under the bonnet.

The views of the surrounding mountains and fascinating Inselbergs are simply enthralling and terrific and obviously why it was sited here.

Located at about 45 kilometres from Kaduna on the Southern Kachia road is the Local Government of Kajuru. If you take the road at the right, in the centre of the town and drive past the Local Government Headquarters, for about 5-7 kilometres, you will see on the left a strange sight on a mountain ridge; a European castle in Africa! Indeed, the first timer may assume he is imagining things or his eyes are probably playing games on him, but it is real.

Kajuru Castle is not an ancient monument. It was actually built in 1989 by a controversial German expatriate who made Kaduna his base. The style is not African in nature but very European and clearly of the German architectural design. The interiors and exteriors speak of this.

The castle is made up of a magnificent large stainless steel swimming pool and well equipped kitchens (it is self-catering for those who can gain entry). It is Private Property, and entry to this place is not so easy. You will need to have permission from a German lady (some say a dragon) who looks after the place. There are beliefs that the German expatriate who built the place was deported during the Ibrahim Babangida Administration.

Beat Traffik and it's partners are organizing a 2 days tour of Kajuru castle from the 1st 0ctober to the 3rd October 2016, 12 people only would be invited; interested people can Call Confidence: 08181418197 or email confidence@beattraffik.com

Through help from West Africans especially Nigeria and some other countries.

Patchesagain:
Compared to Russia, China, Cuba, Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland, Nigeria played a very minor role.

The string of disputes marks a departure from the bonhomie of the 1970s and 1980s, when Nigeria led Africa's antiapartheid campaign, furnishing passports and military training to members of the same African National Congress who now rule South Africa.

Nna Nigerian military was seriously rubbished by a Siera Leonian rebel calling himself "General Mosquito" who pinned them down in Freetown and never allowed them to operate outside of Freetown.

The truth is that Nigerian military has NOT been tested. Something tells me that Nigeria cannot win any international conflict, even with a Chad or Cameroun.

All these local bravado is not fooling anyone.
