Did my Youth Service at Akure and we the corpers took a trip to Ikogosi. I must say it was one of my best sightseeing trip ever!!!

A whole country the size of Texas only Yankari and Obudu are tourist destinations? No wonder any plane coming to Nigeria is always filled with black people and to other countries whites!

Watching masquerades at the market square is the bomb! No better sight-seeing than that.
