Places I've Seen

Zuma Rock:
It is a large monolith, an igneous intrusion composed of gabbrol and granodiorite that is located in Niger State, Nigeria. It rises spectacularly immediately North of Nigeria's capital Abuja, along the main road from Abuja to Kaduna, and is sometimes referred to as the "Gateway to Abuja." Zuma Rock is 725 meters above its surroundings. Zuma is also depicted on the 100 Naira Note. It was used for a defensive retreat by the Gbagyi people against invading neighbouring tribes during inte-tribal warring.

National Mosque:

Also known as the Nigerian National Mosque, is the national mosque of Nigeria, a country with a substantial Muslim population. The mosque was built in 1984 and is open to the non-Muslim public, except during congregational prayers. 

The mosque is located in the capital city, Abuja, and is situated on Independence Avenue, across from The National Christian Center. It includes a library and a conference room. The complex includes a conference center capable of serving 500 persons. 


The National Church of Nigeria:

Is the primary Christian place of worship in Nigeria. It is located in Abuja, the capital city. The National Church of Nigeria is an inter-denominational church. The church was designed by Nigerian architectural firm, Darchiwork Group; located in Lagos, Nigeria and built by Italian construction firm Gitto Costruzioni Generali Nigeria Ltd. The project, which was started around 1989, lay dormant for several years until 2004, when the Christian Association of Nigeria organized a committee to ensure its speedy completion. The dedication, on 2 October 2005, coincided with the celebration of Nigeria’s 45th anniversary as an independent nation.
