Fola, I was certainly here and I am so IMPRESSED! I knew it was never an accident meeting you and working with you and I sure look forward to our friendship and working relationship in the years ahead.
Certainly, I will write for you – it’s time to share with my Naija brothas and sistas about the Kenyan tourism and of course my fixation with Naija people and food…tehehehe.
All the best,

Kev
on my favorite bar!! will visit again,
well done O
Where can we go from Lagos during this Easter vacation. Will the waterfalls in Olumirin be dry or same like in d pics,
Kev
http://www.naijatreks.com/ Naijatreks
@ Kev…thanks for the favorite…since the rains are just coming back, I’m afraid the waters at Olumirin Falls will not be as it is in the photos (the photos were taken in the rainy season), but the falls will still be an exciting place visit though…but you may want to try some other exciting trips during this Easter break- talk of taking a hike from Ikogosi warm spring (www.wp.me/s2dKay-ikogosi) across the towering Effon Ridge and drop off at Ipole-Iloro to see the amazing Arinta Falls (www.wp.me/p2dKay-cf)- both in Ekiti State. You may also take you bikes along on this kind of trip…it’s uncommon in Naija, but its something you don’t want to miss I tell ya…Some other nearby places to visit include Old-Oyo National Park (www.wp.me/p2dKay-om) in Oyo State, Idanre Hills (www.wp.me/p2dKay-6q) and Ebomi Lake (www.wp.me/p2dKay-sM) in Ondo State- just to mention a few.
Lore
This is my fifth time of visiting your blog and the previous times I was content with remaining passive. I am sure quite a number of people are also guilty of this. Today I decided to speak up because I realized that there is a need to shed the belief that people making strides in the pursuit of their passion and dream are self motivated and thus do not require much external words of encouragement. I just want to go beyond my discreet self to commend and encourage a good cause – Naijatreks.
To the team I say thank you for enlightening me on the hidden tourist sites in Nigeria, for entertaining me with your pictures, poems and humour-laden and well articulated articles. Most importantly, thank you for being a source of inspiration to me with regards following my dreams, striving for excellence and leaving a tangible mark on the sands of time.
God bless you. Keep it up and strive even higher.
Folarin Kolawole
@ Lore…thanks a lot for your encouraging words…we hope to do a better job or re0presenting Naija’s tourism potentials…thanks again

Fill the sea with precious stones
Make it all mine to own
Rip Europe into two folds
bestow me a fold and a throne of gold
Promise me fame, with all lips on my name
I will not trade my skin, not for a day.
On the shores of this seas;
On the land of the southern sphere
I stand proud; Africa’s stalwart,
I soar high like a sea eagle
High above the sea's wrinkles
I’ve run on the streets;
An African child,
Amidst rows of sun-burnt mud huts
A thin strip about my loins.
I have played with loamy soil
Building domes without a scaffold.
I have fought in a thousand wars
fearlessly, with the strength
Of a Masai warrior.
My black skin glowing with the heat
A heavy spear in my proud fist.
I have combed the tropical bush
Welcoming romantic danger
In the eyes of a leopard.
I’ve greased the bumpy trunks
Of the mighty Iroko tree,
With the fat of the hide
Of the leopard I skinned
I have watched magical moonlight
hiding and seeking on my skin
I have bathed in enchanting sunset
As the end of the ageless Nile
Kisses the gold-tapered sky.
I have toiled this fruitful soil,
With the edge of my heirloom plow.
I have watched juicy maize shoots,
Springing from my mound,
Filling my soul with hope.
And I have eaten hope,
From the seeds that I sowed.
Africa is in me
I’m a trueborn to the skin.
Would curse that day I was born,
Were it on some other shore.
