         Are you bored during the weekend and do not know where to hang out?
Jabi Lake is a fun place to visit if you like nature. It is located at Alex Ekwueme street, Jabi.
          As the name implies, Jabi Lake is a natural body of water in the Jabi district. It is about ten minutes drive from the city centre. It has a recreational park beside it.

You can come with your mat, or rent a mat when you get there. It is a good place for picnic,birthday parties, wedding reception while enjoying the view of the water. If you love horses,you can ride the horses or watch people ride the horses,  you can also take a boat ride which is fun. If you plan to spend a long time at the lake, it would be good to carry some food or snacks along.
         It is also place one can sit and read a book,while enjoying the fresh air. It has this calm and serenity.

It is open even during the week days and not only weekends. For the guys, you can even propose to your girlfriend in that park, i am one hopeless romantic, aren't i?

There are beautiful places one can visit without having to spend much money here in Nigeria.
Sometimes it is important to take out time from work, business and relax somewhere. 
Elbert Hubbard said "The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily,now and then,is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for edification of the pathologist and trained nurse,a little later on".
Douglas Pagels also said "Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide on the rainbow.
Haven said that; 
Assop fall located some 62 kilometers along Jos-Akwanga road,Plateau state. It is located in a picturesque environment,serene and peaceful. It is a great place to relax and enjoy nature's beautiful gift. 
I ambled along the Rocky Mountain path,an unusual humming sound vibrated in the air. It sounded like a swarm of bees,then the buzzing transferred to the rock beneath my feet. It travelled through my body and I felt a tingle that ran to my finger tips, I kept climbing the rocks until I rounded the corner and the source of the sound revealed itself.
There was the water fall,drizzling unto the rocks, the larger waterfall was pounding the rocks. It tumbled down the mountain. It had a beautiful serenity pool at the bottom.
Spent a couple of hours looking around it and taking pictures before we left. 

I wish the government of Plateau State would invest in it, I bet you,it is a beautiful tourist attraction. It will create jobs for the young people,as it is a good place to have a picnic, and will also be a source of income to the state. It is an ideal place for hiking,swimming and relaxing.  


Waiting for rain among dusty skies


They say all cats are grey in the dark.  Or at least Ben Franklin proclaimed.  That said room remains for individual opinion among the shades. On the other hand much can be said for uniformity among hoi polloi.
