My visit to Nigeria was ….
I travel to the center heart of Nigeria, Abuja. I start from the airport Called Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. My friend was already outside waiting for me to pick me from the airport. When I got out from the airport I feel indeed in giant of Africa Nigeria. The atmosphere is different, the feeling Is totally different too, that is where my journey began Immediately, my friend and I Headed to the hotel and checking in and Immediately I took shower and without westing of time then we went out for refreshment Because I really want to see the city. Then we go to a BBQ place. We ate and refreshed ourselves and to plan for the next day.
I SPEND A WEEK IN ABUJA, AND ABUJA TEACHERS ME PATIENCE DIFFERENTLY THEN LAGOS DOES.
ABUJA and LAGOS are two different cities in one country; Abuja is not noise as LAGOS do but Abuja is wide boulevards, roundabouts, the size of small parks sometime make it difficult, but it is working normally. During my stayed in Abuja, I lodge in a hotel in kwubwa area, the central city is all surround with Government tells buildings.
ASO ROCK is a presidential resident and office, it is very big surrounded by special force to protect the president, pictures are not allowed around there but ABUJA is fun to be. Aso Rock is more than just a natural place, but it also has significant political importance as it is located near the Nigerian Presidential Complex and the National Assembly. Visitors can hike close to this magnificent rock and enjoy breathtaking views of the city.
IN ABUJA I VISITED places like:
Another fantastic place to visit is the Millennium Park, the largest public park in Abuja. It’s an ideal spot for picnicking, jogging, or simply enjoying a leisurely walk amidst lush greenery and carefully designed landscapes.
ZUMA ROCK is a giant rock that can be seen almost everywhere in the city. Zuma rock can be found as symbol of Abuja and Zuma rock appear in one thousand naira note.
I spend one full day going around the central area of the city, I was in, Garki District, Maitama District, Maitama II, Wuse District.
THE ROAD TO JOS, PLATEAU STASE.
From Abuja to jos is 3 to hours by road because of the road, The road is rough and we always come across security checkpoint. In the bus I met a retired schoolteacher who setting be me, she taught in jos over 20 years before retiring and she spend more than one hour telling me interesting story about her life and trips.
As we approach Jos i start to feel Jos before we enter the main city, the rock is special and it look like they arrange so but it is naturally so.
Let me say Abuja opens my eyes to see be young the city, but Jos welcome me to wonders and nature. I wonder why people don’t talk about jos. Jos is home of peace and tourism.
what could you learn in three weeks between these two cities?
Abuja teaches me to be patient because the city is full of people from all over the world and a lot is having in Abuja, Morning is rushing hours, everyone rushing to work, business, children going to school, the road is full of cars that cause go slow.
Plateau Jos is not cowed like Abuja, but it calms and cool Jos gave me the coolest air and the most honest conversations of the whole trip. JOS is fun city in the evening after hard day people hangout drinking, eating, and Paty.
What would three weeks between two cities you think you already know teach you, if you actually slowed down enough to look?
let me know what you think,
