Idanre Hills - 660 steps up to heaven


Entering Idanre town

It's been so many months since I last blogged on here. It was due to a packed schedule of events in my life in the last year. I went back to school to get a Masters degree in Literature at the University of Lagos while continuing my work full time. There's only so many things a man can do at the same time.

I have also recently gotten engaged!

Amazing view from the top

Lots of things to be done on top

So Christmas time my fiancee and I have traveled to Akure to be with my parents. On Christmas eve we drove down to Idanre with my brother and two cousins, a town just 30 minutes from Akure to climb the famous hills that were part of the subject of Wole Soyinka's 1968 volume Idanre and Other Poems.

There are 660 steps on the way up the hill. Lacking physical conditioning, we all panted as we climbed except for my brother who ran, jogged and looked so strong climbing.

Due to our late arrival, we couldn't explore so much of the features but it was still a breathtaking view from the top - even it's my second trip there. It's always a thing of great beauty to behold the majesty of those hills.

I joked to my fiancee that the hills are the droppings of an extinct race of giants. We all had a good laugh.

Idanre is a great place to visit for anyone looking for great mountain climbing adventure. There's lots of history locked away in that town.

I just wish that the local people and government would take it upon themselves to promote the resource better. First, we could start with a good restaurant and refreshment shop at the bottom for tourists who need to unwind after a long climb.

After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life

Recovering lost cryptocurrency is a tough task, but it's achievable. If you ever find yourself in an unfortunate situation of losing your crypto to a scammer, don't be afraid, you have the option to report the scam issue to the police for their assistance. On the other hand, if involving the polรญce isn't your preference I can suggest a hacker who aided me in retrieving my crypto after I was scammed by someone I met on Facebook. I got to know about this hacker through a colleague who had successfully Recovered her stolen crypto with their help. The hacker informed me that all they needed was the crypto address of the scammer which I provided and they managed to Recover my cryptocurrency. If you require their assistance, you can contact them on email:

ICC RECOVERY SERVICE SAVED MY DAY:
Without the help of ICC RECOVERY SERVICE, I would have lost all my assets. To recover crypto assets, timed passwords and seed phrases, hacked wallets and locked vaults, all you need to do is chat with ICC RECOVERY SERVICE. I opened a case with them when the Ledger Nano X I was using as a personal vault crashed. This happened during Ledger firmware updates before certain UXTOs were pushed through the coin control and I got an error message on the UI because my Ledger services were overloaded. When I tried again, I found that my digital assets were rooted to unknown addresses, and I was horrified. The mistake I made was that I did not specify the UTXO string before the network got overloaded and this was a hard lesson I had to learn the hard way. While searching back and forth, I came across several reviews and recommendations on Google and decided to contact ICC RECOVERY SERVICE. We hit it off immediately and my data was collected for further analysis. During the investigation and recovery phase, it was discovered that my assets were stored in several CEX and DEX wallets. Fortunately, all assets worth millions were recovered within two business days. I am grateful to this productive team not only for recovering my assets but also for the professionalism they showed in preventing my losses. The updates throughout the process were incredibly reassuring. For timely recovery of stolen assets orchestrated by systemic crimes syndicates, ICC recovery services got your back.
