Vacation trip preparations

Image
Like the popular cliche that goes "he who fails to plan, plans to fail". If you plan to take a vacation this Christmas holiday, you should plan to make you vacation fun filled. You would not want to miss out in the Jet-ski, boat cruise, all the Night clubs and beach parties. I'm a believer in planning early for a trip. A stitch in time saves 9. So if you are planning for a nice vacation for christmas, you must plan for it in the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year. For that reason i'll like to introduce us to an investment that would mature before the vacation and it's called paidvest. An app company which I believe is exclusive to android phones called paylater app. It is an app functioning in kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria. They offer loan to individuals through the andriod app. If I'm not mistaken, they provide loans going up to $1000 to costumers who have been faithful in redeeming their debts. They came up with a package that mimicks a ponzi scheme ca...

Gurara falls

Image
Abuja officially called AMAC (Abuja Municipal Area Council) a local government of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the city capital of Nigeria. People aroud the environs loves to associate themselves with it. Places like Marraba, Suleja, Zuba etc. This places are neighbouring places from another state close to the Federal Capital just like Otta and Shagamu is close to Lagos and people sometimes mistake it for Lagos but they are located in Ogun state. So is Suleja where the Gurara falls is located. Suleja is a place in Niger State very close to Abuja like the Zuma rock. Abuja is know for rocks like the Aso rock nevertheless, Zuma rock which is one of the most unique rocks (It has a face of a human), is often confused to be located in Abuja but it is located in Niger State. Abuja don't have a lots of streams/rivers save the Gwagwa stream that just came in mind. The government had to make Dams for recreational purposes. Dams like the Usman Danfodio Dam, Jabi Dam etc. The Gurara...

Osun Festival

Tomorrow the 18th of August happens to begin the 2 weeks world renowned festival celebrated in Nigeria for more than 600 centuries called the Osun Festival. Many Osun worshippers and tourists from around the world come to witness the festival in Oshogbo Osun state Nigeria. Being present there gives aesthetic pleasure. History has it that the first monarch of Oshogbo Oba Gbadewolu Laroye had a treaty with the goddess of fertility called Osun (Oshun). She reside in fresh waters unlike yemaya who stays in salty waters. Some refer to her as goddess of fresh waters. She was to proctect his people, bring fertility and prosperity to the land and she would be celebrated and given sacrifices yearly. Rumor has it that she do appear as a mermaid to the people on the day of the sacrifice. She stopped showing up after an attempt was made to capture her by tourist but she shakes the waters to indicate their sacrifices was accepted. Some say she appear as a mermaid to her priests and the king ...

Vacation Trip

Vacation is not a culture among most people in life. Going on vacation does not necessarily makes one lazy. It helps calm stress and promote a good and healthy condition for work again. Like the popular saying. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Health is wealth and vacation helps promote mental health which is paramount to a good working condition. We are planning a vacation trip this year in Africa. We shall be going to Ghana and Nigeria. In Nigeria hopefully 22-27 of December we shall be going to Cross River State. They are nicknamed peoples Paradise and proud themselves as African Warmest Welcome. We shall be Visiting Obudu Cattle ranch which is located in the city of Obudu Cross River State (CRS). Many confuse the ranch resort to be located in Calabar the city capital but far from it. It almost 206 miles to the state capital almost 6hrs sitting in the bus. They refer to the resort as Nigeria biggest business resort. Highlight to look out for are the cable car, the hotels...

Sunday in Abuja

Abuja is the federal capital territory of Nigeria unlike Lagos or Kano that is more or less a business centre in Nigeria. Sundays are usually free for large number of persons save those who work in broadcasting stations. They just breeze in and out. So you have enough time to have fun in Abuja. If you like good music and not religiously biased, I could tell you where you could get a free concert  on Sunday, The church. Apart from the morning soul lifting service in the morning, some churches go all the way to invite local and foreign gospel artists for concert in the evening. Some invent our contemporary comedians and the good news is, no gate fee. Sometimes they do stage play. Another fascinating places where you could hangout especial in Abuja is the pool. If you don't swim just stay by the pool side. Don't let me limit my post to big 5 star hotel. But places like Ibro Hotel, Top view,  summit villa even obatoil pool. You get to see Abuja up coming movie artists and viewi...
