Ekiti state in Nigeria is another tourism haven that is under marketed in Africa. I and a group of professionals traveled to Ekiti to drive international traffic there.
I was fascinated by the hills and many towns and villages that were established under these mighty hills. The story of Ekiti reminds the student of history the many wars that were fought in Yorubaland.
Ekiti itself means mighty hills and the people hid themselves and their families around these hill as a strategy to protect themselves from their enemies.
Everyday in this town was festivity for us as our meal was basically
pounded yam, bush meat, and palm wine and to us, this was
paradise.

The tour brought about a resolution that we do not have to wait for the government but should immediately take action to promote the vast natural and historical tourism that Ekiti have to offer.
We lodged at an hotel which was about thirty minutes from the capital, Ado Ekiti. Watch out for the religious tourism that Erio has to offer.
