obinnho10:
Very accurate list. Who also observed that no state from the east was included. This is due to the absolute lack of federal government presence in the eastern part of Nigeria. This is why i cant really blame those agitating. Only who wear the shoes know where it hurts. Eastern Nigeria is marginalized and only a Hypocrite will feign ignorance

Joavid:
You are the ignorant one.

which of the resorts on the list was financed or organised by the federal government?

They're all either by state government or private

travelguide:
have you been to that destination before?

LastSurvivor11:
Vacation in this London based president regime??
U really need to think twice..

babythug:
The accommodation bit must be newly refurbished! When I visited the hotel was literally non existent we had to lodge in Ife for the night!

Anyone planning on visiting should ensure to have a plan B for accommodation and perhaps include Erin Ijesha water falls in their itinerary as there really isn't so much to see at ikogosi!

We should atleast learn to love our own. Don't you know that the money people visits means more revenue to be generated to do some renovations?

No single one in d kingdom of Biafra... And they want to go home

travelguide:
I cant really tell cos it's been a very long while I went there. But if you wanna travel to obudu, let's say by air, you'll have to drop at the airport in Calabar then take a bus to Obudu which about 7 to 8 hrs from Calabar. Just carry enough money like 50k and above depending on how many of you guys are going and the amount of fun you wanna catch and how long you plan on staying. One advice I'll give you is don't stay in any hotel in the ranch cos it's very expensive rather stay in any hotel around the community.

DisGuy:
I'm talking about "top quality" accommodation near owu falls- there's no accommodation there at all its deep in the village!

The government has no road leading up to this site so theres nothing to generate
