The Visit To Olumo Rock.

The weekend topics this time around got me both happy and moody. I'll start with the former, I'm sad because I won't be able to write about it all and yes I have interesting stories to share about every one of them which is where my joy came from but sadly again, I only pick one at a time.

Would have settled on sharing my current read but I think I would rather share a historical vision I once had about eleven years back. It's been a long time coming and a little sad that I lost those pictures along the line too💔

However, the memory still lives in my head and that's because it's an intriguing story that has the structural shape of a pregnant woman. It was one of the few excursions I embarked on with my school then we're we went for a tour of the infamous “Olumo Rock”
situated in the city of Abeokuta, Ogun state here in my county home Nigeria.

The Olumo Rock has a natural structure of a pregnant woman lying down and that was the first sight that caught my attention. When we went round every body of the rock we saw for ourselves certain inbuilt hideout cages, a few that carried marks on its walls as imprints, and so on.
History has it that at the time of the World War, some certain eastern men found safety within the coverage of one of the cages and were there until the war ended.
Entering such a place is like going back in time and viewing things as though I was present.
Also, we encountered a set of triplets that were about a hundred and thirty-five years old at that time, and according to the story we were told, their late mother had them in one of the cages of the rock and since that time grew up under the guidance of the rock, we were also told that the rock is as a god to them and the reason they’ve been blessed with long life.

Experiencing practical history firsthand is one of the best moments of my life and honestly been making plans on going to Rwanda next to get a detailed tale and the goosebumps that follow from stepping foot on the same ground where a remarkable event took place.
