So I decided to visit the popular Olumo Rock and it was truly a beauty to behold. It is one of the oldest and most popular tourist attraction in Nigeria. It is located in Abeokuta. It has so many historical tales. It serves as a fortress for the then Egba People who used it as a safe house during the war. It was also a perfect vantage point to site incoming enemies. Olumo rock became a tourist attraction in 1976 and was renovated in 2006

gate fee is 1,000 per adult

Enjoy the picture story

Egba awon omo lisabi

Interesting. The pictures are making me want to visit there

Looks quite boring to me

I think I was banned for about two weeks or so. Couldn't reply, like, or share posts. To the MOd that banned me, hope your account is reading 6 zeros. Nonsense and Nairaland mods

Village settings

The roofs though.

This is called mud roof.

LOL! Brown roof every where......

Dead tourist spot

i saw better tourist sites at France

Go to Ondo or Ekiti. You go see rock wey big pass this one

like these ones here

I remember visiting this place during an excursion in my Early days in secondary School some 14 years ago.

I could recall there was a lift.

I remember we were told about some old woman we are not suppose to laugh at no matter the temptation.

I remember we were told about the historical significance of the olumo rock in protecting the Egbas from the Dahomey rades.


Good times !
