Some people consider Abeokuta town, with her rocky landscape and historical features, a portal between the physical and the spiritual.

There are a lot of places and experiences that are worth exploring, that make for great memories and photo-ops, as well as offering a chance to learn more about this historic town.

1. Visit the National Museum Abeokuta

To walk the path of the ancient peoples that lived in Abeokuta, a visit to the National Museum is a must. Boasting relics from the rich past of the town, the museum also offers tours that are both enlightening and fun.

2. Climb Olumo Rock

The most famous landmark in Abeokuta is the Olumo Rock – a hill that served as a hiding place for the Egba people during the slave-taking expeditions of the Yoruba Civil War – and the town itself is named after it, as Abeokuta means ‘under the rock’.

There are man-made stairwells that make climbing the rock relatively easy, and along the way are shrines, usually tended to by women, dedicated to different gods. Getting to the summit of the hill is worth the climb, for it gives you the aerial view of the whole town, lying in the valley, and of the Ogun River, snaking its way through the forests that surrounds the town.

4. Visit the Centenary Hall

Located opposite the Ake’s Palace, the Centenary Hall in Ake’s area of Abeokuta was constructed in 1950 to commemorate the one hundred years that Abeokuta had been in peace after the last inter-tribal war.

The building of the Abeokuta Memorial Centenary Hall emanated from His Majesty Oba Ladapo Ademola II, KBE, The Alake of Egbaland to commemorate the Centenary (100 years) of Egba settlement in Abeokuta.

5. Stop at the Oyan River Dam

The Oyan River Dam is in Abeokuta North local government area of Ogun State in the West of Nigeria, about 20 km north west of the state capital Abeokuta.

The dam crosses the Oyan River, a tributary of the Ogun River. It is used primarily to supply raw water to Lagos and Abeokuta but has the potential for use in irrigation and power generation.

RIP PASTOR.....MAY GOD REVEAL those that have hands in YOUR KILLING

Popular social media influencer and CEO of Break Or Make Up, Blessing Okoro, has taken to her Instagram page to narrate how a man she was supposed to help get a job, was being unkind to her while they were inside KEKE NAPEP.

According her, they were supposed to meet at a designated spot and on the way to the agreed place, they met in the tricycle but didn’t know each other.

She had no idea he was the man she was going to meet and he didn’t also know she was the one he was going to meet for help.

About 500 members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kuje Area Council.
Among those that decamped were former PDP stalwarts, Sarkin Samari of Kayarda, Alhaji Abdulhameed Idris Sabo, Hajiya Ramatu Idris, Yahaya Mohammed Gambo and other stakeholders in the party in the area.

Receiving the former PDP members, the APC chairman in Kuje, Mr Godwin Poyi, commended them for their bold step in joining the ruling APC, saying their decision was a clear indication that the present administration has performed credibly well.

He said APC is a viable alternative for good governance, adding that the party would carry them along in the council’s affairs.

Speaking on behalf of the decampees, a former PDP stalwart, Yahaya Mohammed Gambo, said they decamped due to impunity and lack of internal democracy in the PDP.

Are they not Prisoners?
How can Prisoners vote naa?


Gambo said they would work vigorously to ensure the victory of APC in the 2019 elections in the area.

God bless you Op for this observation. If only our leaders would adopt it.
This shows the level of suffering Nigerians are going through in the hands of this thieves. If Buhari that is more than 80 still wants to contest election. I see no reason why a citizen that is more than 30 yrs cannot apply for federal jobs.
I dont give a dam to their age limit. I apply anytime I see a job vacancy. I know one day God will answer me.

Wicked people.

FortifiedCity:
Nigerian soldiers are complicit in all these killings.

If not tell me why they will leave herdsmen that obviously moves about with weapons and go to a priest's house to search if he has any weapon which in any case, it is to defend himself.

They assist the herdsmen in killing middlebeltans and they will all die by mysterious sicknesses

fineboynl:
why Benue from all the middle belt?

the truth is there is a ploy to steal Benue states from the indigenes because of oil discovered there and good farming land.

the choice area of the colony will be the oil target. Benue should as a matter of fact open their eyes.

Sctests:
So that you can ship southern christian graduates to your boko-infested region and get them killed?

What is happening? There is no war and we are losing this great number of soldiers. Hmmm maybe people should reconsider joining the army now.

Gerrard59:
Fallacious claim. Only you meant that not everyone.

So they should stay in classrooms, so you'll come and accuse them of just being lecturers after graduation even with their first class?

We would not take it!
