, This tread is informative just hope lalasticala will push it to the front page I never new the suspended lake on Oke-ado was among the only two in the world, after op claim that I made a Google research only to find Op is right, but what embarrassed me was the difference between the hanging lake of Colorado and the suspended lake in ado awaye, we have very low if not zero passion for tourism generating funds from tourism looks mysterious and mission impossible to our government, despite the tourism potential of the suspended lake. It's still haven't gotten any deserve attention as regards upgrade facilities and infrastructure to enable it worth more visiting. Compare and contrast this suspended lake in Africa and the one in America you will get my points clear

1.The suspended lake Ado-Awaye, IB

The hanging lake of Colorado even has an hotel

Ado-Awaye is a village on it own, like I said it's located in outskirts of Ibadan, like Long Island to New York, also close to iseyin though http://naijatreks.com/2014/07/okeadomount/

It shouldn't be linked to Ibadan as there's no connection. At least in this narrative.

Bowers Tower is a much likely addition.

I have visited d UI Zoo, Mapo Hall n Trans Amusement park aeons years ago.

I hope to visit other places of interest in Ibadan and its environs soon.

However, the Ogbomosho 300 years old Tortoise is a place i would like to visit too.

Thanks for this post. Ibadan is a very nice city. The #keepthechangebae trend led to Ibadan being trolled, but some set of people tried to hijack it-The Keyboard Samurais.
