I recall reading about the seven wonders of the world in high school and fantasizing about how spectacular the vista would be. Tourism, on the other hand, is the link that connects us to new destinations all over the world.

The world's most populous black nation is organized into 36 states, with a slew of tourism attractions strewn over the landscape.For my dear friends, this post will be a list of my favorite tourist destinations.

In our curriculum in high school, we were taught about the tourist attractions in our country and if there was one destination that stood out, it is definitely the Olumo Rock. It is located in the western part of Nigeria. The rock is actually a natural defence system for an ancient ethnic group called Egba. It is very huge and infused with steps for visitors to climb and have a view.
