I barely knew little about Idanre and i was so eager to be there myself , not caring about the safety involved . because it one thing for the human mind to be scared of a place where they haven't been before especially From where i come from .but it ended up been a place where i will love to go back and build a tent and just live.
Idanre Hill - Oke Idanre, Ondo Located in Idanre Town, about 24 kilometres southwest of Akure,
Ondo State, Nigeria West Africa with 606 Steps to climb to get to the hill Top and beautiful resting bars after every two hundred climb, it was indeed planned out carefully and thoughtfully. The more you climb the more your legs starts to wobble and you feel very dehydrated and want to munch cookies or something - (covers eyes) especially if you are a foodie like me.
Climbing the steps took us about an approximately 1 hr and our tour guide kept talking and explaining the history none stop and i was admiring his energy and the zeal to keep us going, it was indeed an awesome moment and finally we go to the hill which is about 3000ft above sea level and i wished i had carried a tent , would have just slept over and go home the next day.
It really amazing seeing human like yourself and their lifestyle, live freely up in the hill away from the world you are used to, away from police troubles,away from car issues, away from power failure and electricity shenanigan, away from the world of social media.
They lived in peace and harmony and were easily very welcoming, one would ask if i was scared, However , I wasn't even scared, as a matter of fact i could not remember what being scared meant as i was having so much fun enjoying the scenery, the walk way filled with bushes and the castles made from mound that were built by their forefathers , it was indeed a magical place to be.

Plus I had to leave my mark on their first Elementary school wall, that was built in the 1900, The struggle to do the name writing though, because so many people had written their names and it was like if you have not written your name then you were not there...(smiles)
