From the top of this rock, the king’s guard can easily see anyone going in and out of the community. It also aids communication between the guards at the entrance of Idere known Yara.

Iyara wall: Iyara in the Yoruba language means room. This is a large wall of two vertical mountains measuring about 18 feet in height and 40 feet in length with a space of 7 feet apart which serves as a natural passage in and out of the community.

When I was in Jos, I would go on mountain hike with my friends, it was fun and interesting. In fact, it's was of my favorite adventures but I would let it go till we recover our country or will rather do that while on visit to other countries.

Thank you!

I'm interested but Fulani herdsmen no get joy at the moment.

@travelwaka, how do I get to the place from Iwo road, Ibadan?

Eronue:

From Iwo road get to eleyele, from eleyele pack board igbo-ora bus ( town of twin) and from there to Idere

BIXYBABE:
From iwo road, board a taxi to sango, 4rm sango board another taxi to eleyele ask for eruwa/igboora garage wen u get to eleyele. Board a car going to igboora, wen u get 2 igboora, u can take bike or taxi to idere. U can notify me wen are coming. I stays in igboora.
