Travel Friday Gist
Destination ~ Sogidi Sacred Lake, Awe, Oyo State 🇳🇬

One of the scary things about life is when you're being told not to do this and that. You asked why? But there wasn't any tangible reason for it. I saw a colleague's post about a destination, Sogidi Sacred Lake and I was curious to know more.

Well, I grabbed my phone and started surfing the net to see what Sogidi Sacred Lake is all about. Almost all the posts I came across were speaking about how dangerous it is to catch the fish inside this sacred lake.

Not only catching but if you make attempt to cook the fish, it will not get done and something evil will definitely happen to such person. Wow! Not wasting time, I decided to visit the destination. I did early 2021.

Upon visiting, I wasn't allowed to go in with shoes or any footwears. Also, I noticed that the sacred lake doesn't flow nor any water flow into it. Getting closer, I saw different kind of fishes with different colours. Remember, one can't kill them. It's forbidden!

The water appeared rough and I was told it's highly medicinal. Well, I rinsed my face with the water. Things we do for tourism sometimes ehn. Lol. For those who want to visit, don't entertain any fear. I went, I saw and I came back.

Join me next month as I take you to another destination in my country 🇳🇬.

One of the things I love about this destination 'Idanre Hills' is that even if you're a lazy hiker, you won't have the excuse not to hike to the top of the hill. Ask me why?

At every 100 steps, there's a resting place. First resting place is even where you can take chilled palm wine and co before continue your adventure to the top which is 3000ft above msl.

This is us at the third resting place taking selfie. A moment like this is what tourists like because pictures are definitely the receipts of where you've been to.

Happy Sunday!
