Idanre Hills is one of the most underrated tourist attractions in Nigeria. It is a combination of history. sightseeing, Hiking and culture.
Idanre is a beautiful and gigantic mountain located in Akure, Ondo State. The views will leave you asking for more. The history, the story, the culture are real even though it is an abandoned city. The relics and ruins of this ancient city is still standing as proof of its ancient civilization for all to see.
It is located in a hilly and quiet town. This city is made up of so many mountains surrounding the city.
It should be nicknamed the city of mountains.

Beautiful, in sane society these places would invite tourism..

Guess what...it results to more revenue for the "government" but NO, na for my account them dey find stamp duties charges and the rest. Very painful.

Send me 10k and the government has 50naira, I send you 1k, the government and the bank shares 10naira.
It's unfair....




Please ehn, if you are building in or around Abuja.
I'm very much available for your roofing/wooden solutions...
