My trip to Anambra

I travelled to Anambra via Calabar on the third of June.My journey was eventful, starting from the Nigerian Army chartering the bus that Arik provides without any notice and me causing a bit of a scene and being allowed into the bus by some pretty pissed off soldier boys.

I went on a GRUESOME journey the next day to Nanka in Anambra for my friend's dad's funeral. I was very at home because my mum is also from Nanka. A walking distance to my friend's home.

Since i was on leave, i decided to visit the EROSION site of Nigeria.It spans through a coupe of towns. I am only sure of four of them Agulu, Nanka, Ifite and Oko. The worst part of the Erosion is between Nanka and Agulu. The erosion there has been stated to be deeper than the grand canyon in america.

My grandmother said that as a girl, the erosion was quite bad.

From this view, one can see the differnt layers of the earth. It is a totally amazing sight to behold.

This is a part of the wall built to stop the water from going in and causing more damage.

This gutter was built during the Shagari Regime and it has not really helped.

This is at the beginning of a very thick forest. This is my Uncle, Goddy, who was a very wonderful tour guide. I actually saw a very huge monkey and a beautiful antelope. He said that hunters come in with dogs and go into the forest to hunt bushmeat.




The erosion at this end has stopped because it has started showing signs of forestry returning.



Enjoy the pictures.
