Bringing Ekiti Hills to light

There is no doubt that Ekiti State in South Western Nigeria, West Africa, is one of the most scenic places in Nigeria and perhaps anywhere in the world! This derives from its rugged terrain. Ekiti State is located in the North Eastern corner of the South West geopolitical zone. The State is affectionately called “The Fountain of Knowledge” and “The Land of Honor and Integrity”. The hilly ridges and domed shaped rocks provide a panoramic scenery as you drive through the state. This is probably responsible for the winding and disappearing roads common throughout the state. Where the roads have been cut through the hills you could see evidence of layering suggestive of perhaps sedimentary rock formations. This collection of photos depict some of the hills in this part of the world. If you cannot get there to see them, at least, you can hang one of these on your wall.
