Type ‘Eredo Ijebu’ and then outside Ijebu Ode city just start surveying the thick forests outside. You have to comb it meticulously and zoom in well or you will miss the settlements.
Lets explore the place Send me a mail so we can organize it "businessclique at yahoo dot com"

Bullshiit. You plant your weed hundreds of miles away from human beings, in thick forest.

I was just exploring Nigerian territory on Google Earth, and to my shock found inside the dense thick forests of southwest Nigeria, ancient towns completely surrounded by thick forest with no way out!!

Meaning they must be several thousands of years old!!

Incredible.

Are they still inhabited?

Surely not!

But who knows?

Whoever the people that are there have been cut off from the rest of the world for several generations!

Blacks have been existing for long that even the white people couldn't know when exactly. That’s why they formulate imaginary Adam & Eve as being the first human to exist..

The first set of humans to exist are blacks..

Point of correction. These were not towns but hamlets.

I wonder who told you that there were no roads? Did they climb trees to move about? Of course, there were paths.

No.

I saw what looked like a human face. Just staring up from a settlement in the thick forest.

I also saw a settlement with what looked like high tech metallic pipes with well-cut shapes, shining and neatly arranged and it was right in the middle of the forest with nothing around for thousands of miles of forest.

I suspect it’s of non-human origin.
😂
And you didn't do a screen shot or something to back your claims?

Ouya drop the coordinates let me go and check

Point of correction, the "hamlet" or settlement is not extinct. Use present tense

Reminds me of Elesin-Funfun, Ido


Yoruba has so many villages that are miles away from other human contact or government access

Communication is a barrier in so many place as they only know their local yoruba tongue and accent

There are more remote places like these ones in the southwest. That particular place might be the camp of planters and all the green vegetations you see all around might be their ganja farms. Many people don't know that Ganja farmers sabi enter forest far deeper than any Fulani herdsmen, kidnapers or bandits. They always look for where virgin land abounds and very far far away from any town, village or human habitation. Those who have been to the jungle before will understand better.



You are saying this because you haven't been to the jungle before. What you call thick jungle is actually the best place to plant hemp. You may not understand though. And FYI, if humans are there, then there's surely a pathway to there. I have once trekked in a jungle for 8 hours when I missed my way to oke erinmo in Osun state. There was a narrow footpath all along, but up above me was densely covered with tree branches and twigs. I waka waka reach a place where I started hearing the sound of a small generator from very far away and I kept trailing the sound. I eventually found myself in a camp where the residents told me I was in efon alaye forest in Ekiti state. That means I crossed to Ekiti from Osun for many hours in a forest without coming across any human being or habitation. But there were narrow paths throughout.
There was also this very large forest reserve that linked both oyo and Ogun states (Olokemeji, opara and imeko forest reserves). The size of this forest alone is bigger than the whole of southeast Nigeria. No jokes pls.
Did you pass the night in that village or how did you find your way back to civilisation?

Link what villages? There are no villages to link to in most of those images. Those settlements are isolated in the forest, or your eyes no dey see?

Don't be a dumb
Farm Settlement is different from a Farm House
Thats a a rainforest

People who live such places predominantly rely on Agriculture from tree corps, canopy crops, etc hence form a Farm Settlement..

Their major means of transportation is Bike or bicycle..

Don’t worry. I will soon post the coordinates so you will see for yourself.

Those settlements have no neighbours. They have probably been abandoned many centuries ago!

those are mud houses with thatched roof. The forest will totally reclaim them in 2 years if abandoned. Fulani herdmen are probably living there or hunters
