The funny thing is, if we as Nigerians see our country in this light despite all the challenges we face, we will go very far. Kudos to that guy jaymichael who has turned this into a tourism thread rather than a Government bashing thread.

Thank you, GOD bless you.

Tomorrow, I will post more pictures of my Island, and I will share how we live off grid and how a typical day of an Islander is all about. Please I can't mention everyone, just following me to receive the updates as I post.
I will like this thread to be as rich, informative and interesting as possible.

Funjosh:
Jaymichael please answer this question am also interested

There is omoonile but they are not troublesome and greedy like the mainland. Their fees are very small relative.

Funjosh:
I don't trust those guys

No, it is safe here. They collect as a group and no one will disturb you again.

adenitemi:
Interesting Mr. Michael. I'd like to chat with you offline. I'm thinking of volunteering to teach at the school, say once per week. Can you send me an email I can reach you on?

Funjosh:
I will like to come and visit this place someday, I just love viewing nature raw

Tomaro welcomes you anyday anytime.

Pangea:

Wow!
Do you have Omo onile wahala?
I'm interested o!

Their money is very very small compared to the mainland. They only collect foundation and roofing money.

Chommieblaq:
U just made me fall in love with that place. We mustn't turn every where to mega city, we will end up loosing most of our cultural and natural resource.
Honestly this is the kind of place I want to live, so long there is light and network wetin again.

Thereis no light yet, we use gen but there is strong network.

When you ask them now they will tell you that they live in lagos,some of them may even be here on nairaland forming

yes, I live there, I am on Nairaland and I am forming. Do you have an issue with that?

See the "yoots" that want leadership to be dashed them on a platter of gold.

jaymichael,
I love the angle you looked at it from. Life is what we make of it. Everything is beautiful in nature; it depends on how we see it. Lovely pictures you have there. Are there any places of special tourist interest on your island? Please reply.

Naturaly,there are a few bars here and there, There is Inogbe grand resort (Ooni of Ife's island resort) close by, just less than 15 minutes boat ride.
Tarawa bay beach is about an hour of hiking from my place. you can hire a boat if you can't trek.
Some companies are building an hotel resort and some industrial establishment on a vast expanse of land on our Island between Irede(manager) and Tomaro.
What I enjoy as the ultimate attraction is the natural endowments. I have more than 5 or 6 waterfronts U can go and relax and refresh myself.

Just stay tuned, I will post more pictures of my Island and how we survive living off-grid. I lost a lot of pictures of our Island when some files got deleted on my SDcard.
people no know say Lagos na 2

Jaymichael see bush around your house... Assuming that's your house.

I'm sure you're part of the "see the snake I killed in my room this morning" crew.

Thats bot my house, but there is a small lake and a little bush around my house. That area you call bush is now built up.

These are just some random pictures I have on my phone. i will try to snap and upload on this thread subsequently.

Tomaro Onisiwo is my Island. I live there. The picture the writer painted, is not that bleak. Though the Island is not connected to the National grid (yet) and the community is badly in need of a decent health care facility, the Island and surrounding Islands are serene and not all houses are shanties. (My house a decent and is not a shanty) The view from the window of my room is what some people will kill for. The small lake and the backdrop of the rising Eko Atlantic is what I wake up to everyday.
Tomaro is improving and it will improve. It was not like this 5,10 or 15 years ago.
I will be posting pictures of my beautiful Island here.
There are motorcycles (lots of it even on the island) and neither motorcycle nor motorcars are forbidden. There are no cars because there is no way of ferrying it to the island.
