Previously the capital was in Lagos, on the coast, then, in December 0f 1991 the capital was moved to Abuja.

The city is clean and not overpopulated. Most government offices were already moved to Abuja from Lagos, and the government controls the inflow of people to Abuja from other towns and villages.

The city looks quite modern with some local features (you can see, for example, people offering carpet cleaning at the river).

i met some one on line stating that she was staying in royal accommodation hotel in 3K, GARKI STREET OSU,OYO STATE,NIGERIA. i have been in able to find any such hotel. The phone number there is +2348066633370.

Jos is at 1200 M above sealevel. That's why Jos and its surroundings have a cooler climate than most other parts of Nigeria. The area of Jos is quite popular because of these lower temperatures.

The hills, covered with stones, in and around Jos make the area also very scenic. Jos means "Jesus Our Saviour".

Because the city of Lagos was too unmanageable, the Nigerian government decided to build a new capital for the country, like Brasilia. They choosed for an undeveloped area out of control of any ethnic group.

In the early 80s the construction of the new city started, but because of the reducing of the oil-boom, the construction of Abuja also slowed down and many parts of the city are still unfinished.

We stayed near the Wuse district, less modern and not so large-scaled as other parts of the town.

The name ''Abeokuta'' means ''under the rock''. At many places in the town you can see the rocks at the background.Abeokuta is known because of the sacred Olumu rock. This rock is used in all kind of rituals and celebrations. A guide can bring you to the top of the rock, show you some caves and a shrine and give some explanation about the rituals.

In the Museum complex of Jos you can also find a Tin Mining Museum.

It's the same story as the Railroad Museum, not really interesting, comparing with the National Museum and the Museum of Traditional Archtitecture, but ... It's on the same road for the same price and in a quick look you can learn something about the tin mining in the area.

Opposite the Tin Mining Museum you have some stalls with nice local woodcarvings, paintings and colourful African cloth.

In the Museum complex is also a small Rail Road Museum, where you can see some old locomotives.

This museum is less interesting than the National Museum and Architecture Museum, but it's on the same road for the same price. So, why don't have a quick look like I did.
