There are moments while traveling that truly take my breath away. I often find myself lost in such moments, trying to capture the beauty of nature.

We’ve heard it said that the Earth is spherical—a theory supported by science and geographers. But when you travel through certain parts of Nigeria and see uneven landscapes, with valleys, hills, and mountains, it can feel like a contradiction to that idea.

These uneven lands—especially the hills and mountains—are mostly found in the northern parts of Nigeria, though some can also be seen in the south. For travelers, these features are more than just landmarks. They are sources of wonder, resources, and sometimes even places of settlement.

When visiting mountainous regions, it’s not uncommon to see people staring up at the peaks in awe. Some feel the urge to climb to the top to see how the world looks from above and compare the view with what lies below. Films have captured scenes of hikers and mountain climbers scaling these heights for recreation. Others are drawn to the herbs and plants that grow only in these areas, known for their rarity and medicinal value.

In my next post, I’ll share more about the Nigerian states that have these mountains, along with the mineral deposits found there.

Take a look at the beautiful video clips capturing the charm of these mountainous areas in Kogi states.

My Daily Time Table.

My Daily Timetable My Daily Timetable Life is a journey filled with many treasures. How do we grasp all these treasures with a daily plan? The bedrock of any achievement is the foundation. While personalities like Elon Musk may now enjoy more sleep, it is likely due to the solid foundation he laid earlier in life. So, should we continue to sleep and wake up with unfulfilled aspirations? A daily plan can be as simple as visiting a restaurant for a burger and a drink. However, a single event in your daily routine is not enough to keep you healthy, creative, and progressive. Tools That Help My Daily Timetable These tools help keep us on track and make progress with our daily plans: Clock: Setting an alarm helps those who wake up late to start their day early. Calendar: Calendars assist in planning events. Some people prefer paper calendars, while others use digital versions for reminders. ...

Transport System (Land) in Dubai

Transport System in Dubai Transport System in Dubai Hi, lovely readers and intending travelers, this article will enlighten you about the land transport system in Dubai. The UAE is a small country comprising seven Emirates. Though compact, it still covers a significant expanse of land. To navigate efficiently, here are the major modes of transportation: Taxi: Public taxis in cream and blue colors can be booked online or hailed on the road.

It is an affordable means of transport, but to avoid overcharging, always ensure the taxi has a functioning meter. Private taxis in colors like white and black are also available. Bus: Dubai's buses are comfortable, equipped with seat belts, and more affordab...

Why things get worse!

Why Things Get Worse! How and why we have found ourselves in this situation in the country is what many ponder from time to time. It may interest us to know some of the foundational problems that have led to Nigeria's current state. 1. Privatization of Public Enterprises : Private enterprises buy public assets, operate, maintain, and set their own prices with the aim of making profits. Their bills and tariffs often become a burden to citizens. 2. Selling your Right/ Vote buying : Just like a transaction, you pay for what you want, and in exchange, you get what you demanded. Once you sell your vote, you have sold your expectations from the government. Vote buying won't elect patriotic citizens willing to serve the nation. Some cups of rice and cash may lead to long-term suffering. 3. Lack of a Price Regulatory Agency : We set up all kinds of agencies, yet we lack one responsible for controlling the prices of goods in the market. There should be a stable p...

Movement.

Understanding Movement - Part 1 Part 1. Movement occurs when there is a change in position. It is an activity that happens in almost every aspect of our lives. The metamorphosis from the fertilization of the human egg to the development of a baby is achieved through movement. The planets rotate in orbit, and the Earth spins around an imaginary axis running from the North Pole to the South Pole. This takes approximately 24 hours, which is why we experience a complete cycle of day and night within that period. Things That Move All living things move except plants, which are somewhat stationary because their roots are fixed in the ground. Water moves from the roots through the stem to the leaves of plants; some leaves fold and open, while branches and leaves are whirled by the wind. Animals move in search of shelter and food, as well a...
