  1. Nigeria’s got good places to be n have fun, but at least let our citizens learnt to develope the land in which they come from, like that Ndubuisi Kanu’s park if he had come to umuahia or close to the new market n built his park it will still be his and also a credit to abia state.thank I rest my case!

    • The park was built by the Lagos State Government.

  2. this list is not complete, you guys should find Aridolf resort wellness and spa. The place is the bomb

  6. This Country is really BLESSED

  7. Brotherly, I can only see six exciting new spots in this pics, the rest are probably secret advertisement you are doing for the owners.

  8. What about the AUN (American University if Nigeria) hotel. AUN hotel and spa Yola Adamaea State is a place to visit.

  9. Please include Agodi Parks and Gardens, Ibadan.

  10. Nigeria is endowed though Nigeria as one entity no longer exist, its a pity Delta State lacked government in the last 7years and if not careful may have a repeat of same in another 8years.

  11. Its a pity, with bh in the north part of nigeria no meaningful development

  12. I would have loved to see TINAPA and obudu cattle ranch on the list, you cant count exciting spots in Nigeria without the obudu mountain ranges on the list.

    Hopefully your next list will include the above and also Taraba state has one of the best topography in Nigeria for nature lovers that a heaven.

    On the whole good selections blog master, you are doing a fantastic job.

  14. So u don’t have anytin to show us in Osun. I’m proud of ma state! Cos there are so many tinz there to show us here!

  15. I think you should also Include AJs Restaurant and Fast Food joint located along Airport Road Warri, as one of the most exciting places in the country to visit too.

  16. What about Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lag?

  17. woa…i never imagined this beautiful places are in nigeria… guess dere is hope for the future afterall

  18. All these 25 places mentioned aboved, Anambra,Abia,Imo don’t have a single shoping mall,or hotel on the list, does it mean these three states don’t have a good place for relaxation ?

  19. What about Inagbe Grand Resorts and Leisures?

  20. Jelsa,Grand Square, minjibir park, Roxy, ETC are amazing places in the heart of kano city you dont want to miss

  21. Nigerian architect should do more in their area of profession as many other Africa design prove superior ranging from Hotel Shopping mall,and the worst of all the so call Asaba international airport mere look from outside poorly executed ,and the present Nnamdi Azikwe international airport Abuja ,and the NCC building TO MENTION BUT FEWS lack modern architectural design.
