Eyin temi,
I made a vlog of the whole trip, you can watch it on my YouTube channel Fehintola Ogunye or here
I travelled to Abeokuta from Ibadan. It’s a 1hr 30mins trip or thereabout. I didn’t know where Olumo Rock was located before I travelled so I told the driver at the motor park where I was heading and he was kind to give proper directions. Yoruba people say ‘a person who ask for direction doesn’t get lost’. Olumo Rock is located at Ikija. I took a 100naira bike from the bus-stop where I alighted.
When I got to Olumo Rock Tourist Complex, I paid 700naira as entrance fee and 1000naira for my camera. I met Mr Jide, my tour guide at the entrance. He took me round the whole place, told me stories of Olumo Rock, took my pictures and also helped me do some filming. He’s a very nice man and I’m truly grateful for his help. I paid Mr Jide for his services. I advise you negotiate with your tour guide before the tour starts; agree on a price tag for his service.
You should watch the video. I show you everything I experienced on the trip. It is an interesting video but it is mostly in Yoruba (I’m sorry, just imagine you’re watching an old Japanese, Chinese or Indian movie with no subtitles 😁).
My very fat, beautiful and round bottocks is on display, just saying. I didn’t know how fat, beautiful and round my bottocks was until I was editing the footage of me crawling on all 4s up the rock 😀
Here are some pictures
The wind blowing on the rock was correct 😀 I had to form meditation. I also love how blue the sky and clean the air was on the highest level of the rock. I felt like I was very close to God up there.
