EXPLORING
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS OF KWARA SOUTH.
A Personal review about the #ExploreKwaraSouthTour
In the area of
Igbomina town of Esie, Irepodun LGA Kwara State lays the very first museum in
Nigeria. Established in 1945 and houses one of the greatest treasures ever
bequeathed to mankind, Esie Stone Images [Éré Esiè]
Sighting her very own
Ere Esie was breath catching as the museum has historically housed over 1000
tombstones along with varieties of historical tools used by our heroes past.
Ere Esie has been the most reputed museum to have the largest number of
soapstone collections not just in Africa but in the entire World.

Before the advent of
Islam and Christianity, Esie museum has
been the center of religious activities and hosts a festival in the month of
April every year. October 26th 2019 I saw with my eye the Ere Esie which I
believe every Tourist from around the World should see too. The story of Esie
would be told to the World.
We need to present
Kwara State tourist attractions to the World so they can know about the
richness in her cultural and traditional mythology.
Pictures from the tour:
Owu Waterfalls
(wonder in the wilderness) is located in Ifelodun Local Government Area of
Kwara State Nigeria. Owu waterfalls is 120m above the water level and it pours
330 feet down an escarpment. Owu is a mysterious waterfall that increases it's
volume as the decibel of sound increases.
I will add that if
those two tourist attractions mentioned above could be well developed, I mean
the whole community and not just the precise locations of the tourist centers,
it will be more conducive for tourists and will as well generate more revenues.
With adequate
means of transportation provided and security, people will gladly take Vacations from their Place of work to unwind with history and nature of Kwara State Tourist
Attractions.
