ANAZING PLACES TO V ISIT IN NIGERIA

I told you the other day that Nigeria is blessed with amazing and beautiful tourist attractions.

Today, I am here to bring you more fantastic places you need to visit as a Nigerian or Foeigner.

This is La Camoagne Resort a Private Beach located in Lekki, Lagos state, Nigeria. It is a must visit.

This beautiful hills resulted from the crushing of rocks by a construction company 'crushed rocks'. I guess the project was abandoned after the discovery of this beautiful lake.

These Hills and Lake are located in Abuja federal Capital, Nigeria.

The beautiful Assop Falls is 70 km along Jos-Kagoro road on the top of the Jos Plateau. The Assop River supplies water which the rapids and falls use, and it feeds the natural vegetation of grasslands that extend into the gallery forests.

Assop Waterfall is a natural waterfall occurring at the bottom of the famous Hawan Kibo, a rocky uneven hill. 

Records have shown that people shoot local soap operas and advertisements there.

And believe me, Still photography does not do justice to the incredible avalanche of water gushing down and one can only enjoy the scenery by a close-up look and personally exploring its beauty first hand.

You can even have a picnic there while listening to the sound of water surging down the steep valley and emptying into the water below.

Which is supported by numerous conservation agencies, the day is a time to “spread awareness, share knowledge, and provide solutions for better care and management of both captive and wild elephants,” according to the organizer’s website. 

Elephants have continue to face numerous challenges, including poaching, habitat loss, exploitation, abuse, and proximity to human conflict and poverty. 

On this year World Elephant Day, I will share some phots of how endangered this gentel gaints are.

According to research, Elephant numbers fell dramatically in the 19th and 20th centuries, largely due to the ivory trade and habitat loss. 

While some populations are now stable, poaching, human-wildlife conflict and habitat destruction continue to threaten the species.

If care is not taken, this specie will go extinct with time.

SEA HAWK MIGRATED FROM FINLAND TO NIGERIA.

A bird known as the western Ospery also known has sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk was recently found in Nigeria, Jigawa State precisely.

It was reportedly caught on Thursday October 25th 2018, at Mallam Madori Jigawa State.

A ring bearing some information was spotted on one of its legs. Suggesting it was owned by the University of Helsinki, Finland.

According to a graduate of zoologist Abubakar S. Ringim who posted this on Facebook, confirmed that the bird came from University of Helsinki, Finland.

Available records from the University revealed that the bird was ringed 106 days prior to its caught in Jigawa, and had covered 5808 kilometers during its migration to Nigeria.

He added that the bird was celebrated and was released back into the air at the Baturiya Wetland Reserve in Jigawa.

However, i stumbled on some comments online and trust my dear Nigerians with their sarcasm.

But a particular comment caught my attention. The commenter said, the Jigawa State Government should have added another ring to the bird showing it was in Nigeria.

This I agree to because, it would have added to the history of Nature and wildlife worldwide.

Are kidding me??? Wow!!! Never would have thought 😱

SEA COW RESCUED BY A NIGERIAN FISHERMAN!

So one Nigerian fisher man decided to have sense! His name is Segun Ayenuro. Kudos to him, he deserves accolades🙌 but, i can only offer him a clap👏😁.

Here is the gist, according to the fisher man, he had set his trap for tilapia fish on the Lagos lagoon along Oworonshoki axis of Agboyi ketu Local Council Development Area of the state, on August 26, only to get there and discovered the bigger net used to shield the trap from predators had caught a  SEA COW an endangered aquatic mammal.

He also mentioned that he was advised that the mammal should be killed or sold. Instead, he contacted the State Ministry of Agriculture to come take custody of it, because he learned it has been classified as endangered animal. Now you will agree with me that a well informed fisher man is a sexy one.😜
I hope other fisher men and farmers will learn from him.

It is also to my joy that the Ministry of Agriculture of Lagos State came to the rescue of the animal.
Dr, Olayiwola Onasanya, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry , who came for the rescue also affirms that the aquatic, herbivorous  mammal is an endangered specie which

breed a single calf once in two years. And listed by world Conservation Union as specie vulnerable to extinction because of its meat, bones and skin which can bring great wealth to poachers.

Manatee also known as Sea Cow is a large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammal.

Despite it size and stubbly snout, seem cute and cuddly to many ocean visitors.

Found in shallow costal areas and rivers where they feed on sea grass, mangrove leaves, and algae.

Go to the surface of the water every three to five minutes to breathe, although they can remain under water longer, holding their breath for up to twenty minutes.

Replaces its teeth throughout its life.

Extremely sensitive to touch and can differentiate colours.

Manatees have no natural predators in the wild. But humans have played a large part in making risk of its extinction.
