Kaduna Sightseeing

The day started off with a visit to a local Hausa restaurant to eat Tuwo Shinkafa with groundnut soup and goat meat.

After the tasty local meal, I got a keke to take me on a tour of Kaduna city riding through Kaduna South and Kaduna North. I got a good view of the well developed city.

The keke eventually dropped me off at Kaduna State Univeristy (KASU), founded in 2004. The university campus is compact and of medium size with lots of faculty & departmental buildings. It is well built and laid out. The university security were concerned that I was taking pictures and filming. I was able to convince 2 at different points but the last one at the exit gate was adamant that I shouldn't take pictures fortunately it was the last picture I wanted to snap.

From the university we took another keke to Gamji Park to see the crocodiles . Sadly, the park was undergoing massive renovation, and there were no crocodiles. Interestingly, the name Kaduna indicates city of crocodiles. I was able to walk around the park and take lots of pictures and videos.

The weather was very hot at 35 degrees celcius. At this point, I was thirsty, so we headed to Ahmed Musa centre. Ahmed Musa is a professional Nigerian footballer playing professional league in Europe. It is a nice neighbourhood sport centre with a small stadium and football pitch, event centre for weddings and a lounge which they use for Thursday vibes. I had a cold, well appreciated beer and relaxed for an hour before returning to the hotel.

Rounded off the day with a visit to Club Jodeci.Leggi altro
