: Igbo Olodumare, a world within our world, robed in plush vegetative apparel, is simply a mystifying place, and just as its name implies, it is ‘The Forest of the Almighty’. The mysterious forest was first brought to notice by two of Pa Fagunwa’s great works – Ògbójú ode nínú Igbó írúnmolè & Igbó Olódùmarè; and was later translated to English language by the Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka. He described the forest as the forest of witches, wizards, spirits and a hundred more mysterious things. He wrote of giant snails and crabs, he wrote of things that make one wonder, things that sparks the fire of wanderlust in the reader’s heart. This same forest is present on our land, the land of Oke-Igbo, Ile Oluji-Oke Igbo Local Government Area of Ondo State. The enchanting forest is a two-hour journey from Akure, the state capital. The people of Ile-Oluji are mostly cocoa and oil-palm farmers. They also make a living through palm wine tapping which is also major characteristic occupation in south west of Nigeria. Twenty minutes to the entrance of Igbo- Olodumare, there sits a bizarre-looking village which the people regard as the age-old ‘guard’ of the ancient forest. A visitor cannot but get distracted by the picturesque Ògèrìwèsé Rivulet- the first attraction in the mysterious forest, which the people believe possesses spiritual ability to prevent evil creatures from entering into the village and also neutralize any form of charm evil- minded visitors attempt to take into the forest.Igbo-Olodumare is a rugged terrain, densely punctuated with beautiful inselbergs of varying sizes in-between which thick forest covers intertwine. Continuing along the footpath leading from the river, a t-junction leads to a place called Òkè- Lángbòdò and a place called Ìsálú Òrun- it is from these two places that one links other parts of the forest. It is said that Ìsálú Òrun is not a place where visitors are allowed to go because the place is believed to be the residence of the spirits. The entrance of Òkè-Lángbòdò is marked by a small opening under a big granite rock where prayers are made before entering the mystifying forest. Also at the entrance is a sculptured figure of ancient hunter which Pa Faguwa mentioned in his novel, being a human being before he was supernaturally turned into a rock. The entrance of Òkè-Lángbòdò forest was the exact point the writer described as the site of the occurence. The peak of Òkè-Lángbòdò has ever constituted a daunting challenge for adventurous rock-climbers visiting the forest due to its steep and slippery slopes. Nevertheless, a visit to the forest will not be completely gratifying without an ascent of this hill. On its ascent, one is treated to panoramic views of the entire forest, enchanting landscapes bedecked by the rare ewé àkokò plants adorning the hill tops. Ewé àkokò plant is used for the coronation of a new king in the land. Another important attraction in the mysterious forest is the Aginjù Ìdákéróró (the forest of absolute silence). It is said that the silence in this forest is so palpable that communication becomes a problem between two people standing 4m away from each other. One of the most popular attractions in the mysterious forest is the stygian ‘Bottomless Hole’. Some people believe that the forest is filled with all the mysterious things that had been said about it (especially in the award-winning novel), while some believe they’re all lies. Nevertheless, a visit to the Forest of a thousand demons keeps you craving for more adventure, therefore we say “seeing is believing” .
I find the name fascinating

Shymm3x:
This is more of an ego-massaging thing to placate folks with crumbs, after winning on the chessboard.

No one cares about red line rail in a city that depopulation ought to be the primary goal. They'll just end up attracting more locusts to a city that's already snarled-up.

Damn!!!
that city is too populated.
when you stay in Lagos, And travel to some places like sokoto/zamfara, you will begin to ask yourself if you are not in the country where Lagos is located

IlekeHD:
You're like shym3x. You both speak Yoruba like s foreigner lol

I think ayam better than shymm3x

EUROBOMBER:
Shut up!!!
How dare you compare those two with Rochas!

did I hit a nerve Tell your people to stop comparing fayose with awolowo! thanks.

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has approved the construction of the $2.4 billion Lagos red line rail project. According to Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, approving the right of way for the project had been a problem for donkey’s years as the Federal Government in the previous administration was reluctant to do so. Bear in mind, the right of way belonged to the Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC. “It took us four and half years to get approval for the project. It took us another four years to get them to discuss the technicality of the project with us. The right-of-way has been approved and we are in full discussion with the bidders,” he said. Speaking on the Blue Line Light Rail project, the commissioner said the government would complete it by the end of next year. “We are mindful of the problem of transportation in Lagos State. Towards the end of next year, something will happen. Our rail project is 27 km and we are doing it in phases. We are doing Mile 2 to CMS now and we will do Mile 2 to Okokomaiko later,” he said.

Nigeria has been structured to favour only the northern part of Nigeria, but what hurts me most is the fact that this people doesn't seem to understand the fact. "very rare kind of people" in terms of land mass, population (I don't really believe that part) etc
but there are still very underdeveloped! (both humanly & infastructurally). the little they have, they keep destroying it via bombing.
NDA is located in the north.
Abuja' same


They reap a lot in this present Nigeria system while sowing little (check their igr & GDP)

kano state have the highest number of HOR, still yet nothing to show for it.
sometimes, I keep asking myself how we are in the same country?
THE BITTER Fact is : Nigeria will still be underdeveloped, if the leadership system isn't restructured.

theV0ice:
Shymm3x?? Snail ke?? Oluwa mi o...

Is snail no longer Igbin?? which of my words up there connotes snail?

Iya agba, abeg educate mi o

Meanwhile my funny yoruba is due to the fact that i was born, bred and buttered in the villages and creeks of the Niger Delta. thank God for OAU and my father who insisted on me speaking yoruba amd writing letters in yoruba, i for don loss

I know how if feels Bro.
same with me (I do have this Hausa Accent). been the fact that I was brought up in the north.
anytime I travelled down to SW, my folks laugh at me whenever I speak ede Yoruba, And I hate when they call me Hausa.

I can never trade my tribe with Anything!!!

IlekeHD:
Onijongbon, se o rant wa leni lol

ki se baye oo mi fi yin le o. kilonsele
fayose so wi pe ki ma ki yin o
*sigh*

what's happening in Yoruba land today

aresa:
Also the only sensible adult in iboland...

And Also iboe's last chance for an iboe President. _I.e owelle is the most valuable iboe man alive for now.

Rochas!
the only iboe man greater than ojuku+ azikwe combined.


Modified : nobody should quote me again.
to whom much is given, much is expected.

iboes too should stop comparing Fayose to Awolowo

elder ko, bishop ni.

.........When all there never do well okpa iboe kinsmen start leaving our land/territory.
After that, we will start cleansing in Yoruba land.

basilo101:
Congratulate the great Enyimba my friend. I wonder why those from a "kept" stadium could not win for 7 years

congratulations!
But your people should do something about that place.
it looks archaic &,disorganized.

dalu

*sigh *
Why is that stadium looking so dirty and unkempt

Ilekeh:
Chaiii, there are.
Don't ask me for road names because I don't even think NIgeria has road signs/names/mailing addresses.

Lol
I wish there's, but not with the man in the helm of affair.
ekiti is the only state in SW that am not really familiar with (despite been my state).
I wish fayemi is still the governor.

Aareonakakanfo:
Loool who tell you say I dey play game.I'm a 3d generalist but i love working as a texture artist.Blizzard no be beans ooo.Its a bbig company.

Wizguy 69 this is Ekiti.That picture you posted is a 3d picture

Egbon!
I was just teasing aunty ilekeh o.
I just screenshot it (I was playing game).
I don't think there's any road in Ekiti that's like that.

Aareonakakanfo:
They're just random google pictures.I want the romanis to have bi-ass-fra so we can start the revival of Yorubaland

Ok oooo
I don't see Nigeria better than this, with this kind of present leadership structure.
When a state can't even pay workers salary (which is supposed to be normal). How will the state embark on any World class project

Ilekeh:
Ojo meta pelu.

Where is that?

Nigerian roads are JUST awful; bad planning and bad architecture.

Roads without sidewalks and bike lanes, looks like smeared black paints on the floor.

Hahhahahaha

That's Nigeria for you, even vehicles have taken over the pedestrian lanes.

Bike lanes and sidewalks are fantasies for now.
That road is in Ekiti!

Aareonakakanfo:
Looool WIZGUY69 this your picture looks very real ooo Infact i'm thinking of forwarding that picture to DAWN

Anyways I love green environments.Fashola came up with the tree planting idea but Lagosians didn't really take it seriously.I also prefer seeing grasses on demarcations to sand or just concrete

Lol
Green environment is just the best.
I don't see Lagos having a green environment even in the nearest future.
The time has elapsed!

BTW

Which city are those roads located?

Road Markings is very important, even if you can't add another lane, renovate the road and Mark it!
It reduces the rate of accidents and eases the flow of traffic.
