I marvelled at the wonders of nature when I visited Idanre hills. It's simply awesome what the hills have preserved over the years about the history of the Idanre people

Idanre hills is just as the name implies is a wonder of God in that area. I've been to other hills but that place is spectacular. What makes it spectacular you may ask, the terrain on the rocks, the climate up there and even the scenery plus the vegetation.
I went there with my class mates and we look forward to going back there because it was an enjoyableexperience.
It was stressful but the fun part over shadowed the stress that it was when we retired to our hotel that we felt the stress we just put ourselves through.
I encourage people to visit that place as it is a place for both accademics and fun loving people.

Since I am a participant at all levels of Idanre Hills development, I think it is a wonderful thing that would happen to Nigeria in recent years if this is included in the World Heritage List.
As a natural and cultural landscape, Idanre Hills stands out well among all other places that have been so listed.
The ancient Idanre Hills had been a home for the Idanre Community for almost a millenium. The site was described in 1894 by the then colonial Governor that for my part, I'd far rather spend a couple of week among these delightful hills than at the Canary Islands.
Apart from its touristit value, the flora and fauna of the place had been under scientific study for several decades. The topography of the place will be of great value to mankind.
I hope the site will be accepted for enlistment.
