One of #Nigeria's most beautiful spots lies in Edo State.
As you're driving East, just before the Igbanke junction, where the road begins to drop into a valley.
From the ridge's crest, look up and see the forest's beauty.
Heaven!

My main takeaway from Yusuf Tuggar's interview with Piers Morgan is that Nigeria's political class are too used to being pampered by client journos.
Adversarial journalism exists in #Nigeria, but such people are never given the opportunities to ask questions.
