ISI
10. mai 2022, Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Visiting my alma mata was the highlight of today's tour. The security woman at the gate was extremely nice when she discovered I was an ex student from 1986, she instructed me to see the principal first to obtain permission to walkaround the school and take pictures. Noticed that the school now has lots of new buildings. Distances between buildings appeared to be shorter than when I was a student there. Took lots of pictures and videos.Les mer

Drove round the university campus. First stop was Awba Dam which used to the campus main water supply source. The dam was looking unkempt with weeds around and in the lake and tall grasses all around.

Next stop was the Chapel of Ressurection which was my Dad's church. A new large Hall has been linked to the original chapel using up the greenery around the chapelLes mer

Bowers Tower
10. mai 2022, Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Bowers Tower is a colonial relic located at oke Are Hill at Igbo Agala in Ibadan. It was built in 1936 and named after Captain Robert Lister Bower the first resident and travelling commissioner of interior Yorubaland. It is 60 feet tall with an interior narrow spiral stairwell to the observation deck. Major buildings in Ibadan can be seen from the tower.

Getting to the tower required a bit of hill climbing as the road up wasn't motorable. At the top of the hill various white garment churches have acquired small pieces of land for spiritual purposes.

Entrance fee was 200 NairaLes mer

The National Museum of Unity is the place to head to for a deep immersion in the history and culture of the Yoruba Nation.

Dag 5
Birthday
11. mai 2022, Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Started the day off with a 1hr walk around exploring a new route around IITA which took me to the fish pond. Spent some time looking at the various fish ponds. They were all covered in mucky water making it difficult to identify the fish inside them.

After a lovely breakfast we took a walk down to the lake packing a drink and doughnuts along. Had a lovely time sitting under a tree by the lake and enjoying the cool breeze under a tranquil environment.

A friend sent me a food tray which was delivered to me in the evening. Nicely packaged with assortment of sumptuous food, pastries, chocolates and drinks.Les mer
