In Pictures (3)

Minna, Niger State



So, I went to Minna to see a friend of mine that's serving (NYSC) in Niger State some weeks back. Only stayed there 1 night, so I didn't have enough time to remember i didn't take enough pictures (in Minna). Anyways, I like that first picture because of the grass in the gutter {Me thinks it looks much better than the spirogyra in the gutters in the South :-)).


Suleja, Niger State

I've always wondered, and still do, where all the sky scrapers and solar powered street lights and eight lane super highways that people talk about so often in the Southern part of the country are...

There are solar powered street lights in some parts of Port Harcourt.

8 Lane super highways where? Do you mean 8 lane in one direction?

I served in Niger State many moons ago. Orientation in Bida, Served in Kpaki, passed out in Suleja. At the time I couldnt think of a worse place on God's green earth than Niger State. Your pics somewhat change that view. At the time, the place was a pit!

@ Ababoy
I like the rocks they have there.

@ Wienna
cool..i did take a picture in Kogi.

@ Vera
yes :-)

@ Jaycee
The excursions i can remember from school were mostly to factories, and fish ponds :-)

@ Anon 1
thanks...I think the Niger delta region needs development too, and jobs for the idle youths...there are lots of idle people.

@ Anon 2
Not sure if you're the same as Anon 1.
I'm also not really sure about your question.

Minna. Hmm, spent four years there. Not a bad place. I think in my 100level, them no take light more than ten times. Nice place. Good roads, water and all. Peaceful then. Now, cultists dey kill themselves. Awon omo oshi.
