 OLUMO ROCK

 

TITLE: OLUMO ROCK
LOCATION: ABEOKUTA
SIZE: 137meters
TOUR GUILD: Ambience Affairs

Olumo Rock is a popular tourist attraction in the city of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. It was used as a fortress by the Egba people in the early 19th century. Olumo Rock, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nigeria, West Africa, Sits in the ancient city center of Abeokuta a name which means “Under the Rock”. It has a height of 137metres above sea level. Abeokuta was originally inhabited by the Egba people who found refuge at the Olumo rock during the intertribal wars in the 19th century.

The rock provides sanctuary to the people as well as a vantage point to monitor the enemy’s advance leading to eventual triumph in war. The town of Abeokuta eventually grew as these new settlers spread out from this location. Abeokuta is just about an hour drive from the bustling metropolitan city of Lagos providing convenient access to an array of hostels, restaurants, clubs, casinos, and various night life activities. Lagos is also home to the closest airport to Abeokuta, the Muritala Mohammed International Airport. Hotels in Abeokuta within minutes’ drive from the rock include gate way hotel and Olumo guest house.

New renovations completed early 2006 upgrade the infrastructure of the site to include a new museum, restaurants, water fountain and the ancient Itoku market where local artisan and trader haggle over price just as much as the customers like to find a bargain i.es just outside Olumo Rock premises and is a must see. The market is the center of the indigenous Abeokuta industry of tie and dye, locally known as Adire. Adire crafters usually women both old and young show off their design in shed alongside the road. Behind these shed are building where many crafters live and work and their parent before them. In places where the plaster has cracked off the walls, you may see traces of mud bricks used in the original construction. The locals are very friendly and if asked, will often give tourist and visitors informal tours of the dyeing processes. Other popular items to watch out for include local beads, bracelets, sculptures and musical instrument like Sekere, and Talking Drum.
A trip to Olumo Rock usually commence with a climb up the man-made stairs carved into the rock. The journey continues with climbs on irregularly sized rocks (or ladder which are now provided) through a narrow corridor that leads to the top of the rock. All along the way, catch sight of carvings in the rock, cowrie-studded statues and the ancient abode of the priestesses who live in the hut on the rock. Guides are available.
On the way back down the rock, the sight of the Ogun River running like a silver chain amidst a forest aged red corrugated roofs bordered by thick green forests which melt into the horizon is breath taking.

THE FOUR SMART STUDENT

THE FOUR SMART STUDENT

One night four college students were out partying late night and didn’t study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning, they thought of a plan. They made themselves look dirty with grease and dirt. Then they went to the Dean and said they had gone out to a wedding last night
and on their way back the tire of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back. So they were in no condition to take the test.
The Dean thought for a minute and said they can have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they will be ready by that time.
On the third day, they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.
The Test consisted of only 2 questions with the total of 100 Points.
1) Your Name __________ (1 Points)
2) Which tire burst? __________ (99 Points)

Options – (a) Front Left (b) Front Right (c) Back Left (d) Back Right

Moral: Be Responsible else you too will learn your lesson!

A Blank Question Paper

 A BLANK QUESTION PAPER

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.  They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin.  The professor handed out the question paper with the text facing down as usual.  Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin.  

To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page.

The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”  The confused students got started on the inexplicable task.  At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students.  All of them with no exceptions described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet etc.

After all had been read, the classroom was silent.  The professor began to explain, “I am not going to grade on you this, I just wanted to give you something to think about.  No one wrote about the white part of the paper.  Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives.  We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots.  Our life is a gift given to us by God with love and care.  We always have reasons to celebrate, nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day.”

“However, we insist on focusing only on the dark spots, the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friends etc.  The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.  Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life.  Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.  Be happy and live a life positively!”

Moral: As the professor explained, life is a bag of good and bad things, we all have positives and negatives along the way.  But we must always concentrate greater on the positives for a healthy and happy life.  Life goes on no matter what so do not waste your time thinking about the negatives.
