Sungbo's Eredo
Take a taxi one hour north of Lagos to see Sungbo's Eredo,
Africa's largest pre-colonial construction and a sight rated by
experts as an unknown "Wonder of the World". The Eredo is a rampart
that is 1,050 years old, 100 miles (160km) long, and 70ft (20m)
high. Locals will need to guide you in and out as the structure is
rapidly being covered by encroaching forest. The building of
Sungbo's Eredo required more earth to be moved than during the
construction of the Great Pyramids at Giza. The Eredo may have been
built as a memorial to Bilikisu Sungbo, a childless widow, whose
grave is nearby.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language in Nigeria and is widely
used, though many other languages are also spoken.
Money
Nigerian currency is the Naira (NGN), which is divided into 100
kobo. Approved exchange facilities include the major hotels and the
airport, but official rates are very high. It is illegal to change
money on the street. Credit card fraud is a problem and visitors
are advised against the use of credit cards throughout the country.
Credit card facilities are also limited. Facilities for changing
travellers cheques are also very limited. Prior to travel, visitors
should ensure they have a variety of currency options available to
them (Sterling, US dollars or Euros) in cash. Travellers should be
aware of the prevalence of commercial fraud in, and emanating from,
Nigeria.
