Kudos to those craftsmen who built the steps . They did not steal the materials for their benefit, hence the quality of the stairs withstanding the test of time.

Idanre one of the most beautiful towns in Nigeria

Thank you David, Thank you for showing us the real Nigeria 🇳🇬 , Nigeria is more than Abuja and Lagos

Didn't know Nigeria was this beautiful

Wow! Wow!... This is my town, Idanre to the world. I remember when i climbed the hill in 2005 with my cousins, it was truly a beautiful sight. I would have loved you to see the cryptic handwritting on the rock which is yet to be deciphered, the wonderful mat etc.... Its all good. Thank you for this. God bless.

great videos. just a suggestion at the beginning of your videos put an animated map of the county showing the position of the state and city or village you're visiting. not everyone know where these places are

the tour guide doesnt even seem tired at all. he is just charging up the stairs like they are his balcony steps.

Love you David. I found your channel… I live in Oregon in USA. And sadly my society is crumbling and people here have lost all touch with our past and nature. Thank you for blessing me with such quality of the magnificent Beatles earth has to offer and your awesome country land!

I love your aerial view videos!!!! I love how Nigerian youths are the ones now showcasing the country. Great job David!

This is unbelievable. I never would believe a place like this exists in Nigeria. Looks like a movie, it’s awe inspiring. Thank you David Nkwa for this amazing documentary. This is a tourist attraction of the very best in the world if properly prepared. The scenery is breathtaking.

Wonderful. You have done your Country great favor with your documentaries/work. Showcasing Nigeria to the World. Your world will speak for you for many, many years to come, even after you have departed this mother earth. Nigeria is a very beautiful Country.

Wished our politicians can take a walk too with u.. who finishes first becomes the leader

One thing I live about being youruba is our culture and folk laws

Looks like Arizona where I live. I love Nigeria🇳🇬🇳🇬

Wow!!! A real stairway to heaven! 💖 Thanks for bringing us with you!

My goodness, what a jaw dropping beautiful place 😍 I have put in on my bucket list

This is the best video with a proper explanation of the Idanre community. The guide who went with you did an amazing job narrating in detail, both the history and geographical landmarks of the area. Secondly, it is a testimony to hear that the place allotted to Christian missionaries which was known to be an evil forest had no power over the missionaries that came to spread the gospel and hence the name was changed from “evil forest” to “good forest” The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it- Psalm 24:1. Praise the Lord!!!

Ekiti state and Ondo state have unique hills surrounding them.

this charming little town is one of naija’s distinguishing landmarks. somewhat reminds me of a swiss village with the way the hills surround it

You be “nti anu ihie”: you “want go there in the middle of the night and hear voices “ abi?😀

Africans would not believe their own History, but read 2 books from beginning to the end, one worshiping the Sun and the other the Moon and relate with everything in that book, word for word. smh.

Thanks for bringing this on RU-vid,that's my town ,a beautiful ,peaceful and welcoming place to stay,missing my hometown.watching from Dubai ❤❤❤❤

John is a treasure.

Those hills are beautiful, fortunately they haven't stripped away all the vegetation.

The tour guide not breaking a sweat 😂😊

Thank you for this journey I subbed My daughter’s father is Hausa and she’s Fulani I’m from the West Indies . Wished she could have walked the land . I’ll share the video with her and my granddaughter who’s part French . It’s amazing h how the world is now connecting.

Lots of examples around the world if this geological formation. Nature is capable of this beauty. Geometric patterns are in all nature.

Oh my goodness, David Nkwa! I felt every step of your journey up the mountain 🤣 I’m so amazed and awestruck with the people who built those steps - just MARVELOUS. the town and scenery is just beautiful. Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

I love how he’s so detailed and explains so well! Also that he gets to gettin the whole truth of the story not just by hear say! Thanks for this video😊that’s how a real documentary of Naija should be😊The tour guy was so intelligent and humble he needs to President !😊

Whao! So beautiful location. Also the guy explaining things and leading you expressed him self so well. Kudo to you both. Nice job.

🤣🤣 Oga O! You're scared of your people's legends o ahah! 🤣 beautiful place this! all these stories and legends are all over the continent. Some are very scary and some very inspiring.... But we tend to rubbish them and instead choose the Greek legends and the biblical ones. But in fact almost all the Greek legends and their stories came from ancient Egypt... but this is a face to face conversation o...😁

On top of those rocks..look how luscious those plants are.

🗣682 I thought it wasn't for the faint in heart all I hear was u cry the hole way hoofing in puffing the whole time champ🔥😁🔥

Wow David!! You did well to get to the top! Your young friend had the wrongest footwear for this mountain trek! And your tour guide is a superman ! Maybe that's why he is dressed in Blue!!

This is so beautiful, unbelieveable that this Nigeria. I read about olumo Rock in primary 4 & my mother told me it really existed because she & my father lived near it when my father was a policeman in Abeokuta. When i started to work in Lagos i visited it,I was so impressed that I intend to take my family there someday. Now I have another wonderful place to add to the adventure when we come to Nigeria. This is just like those places we go in Switerland, this is more anicent & natural. I will like to see one hotel, restaurant & cabel band showing people all over the beautiful hills. Nigerians need to develop their beautiful places. This will attract more tourists to come admire the beautiful sites around the country. Thanks David for showing this to us.

Well done on a great coverage, David. My hometown. I climbed the hill in 2003 and we got to the mast. My mum used to live in old Idanre (on the hill) when she was a child. When I climbed the hill, I visited her father's house in which he was also buried. Idanre hill is a beautiful and magical place😍. I hope to organise an expedition there soon.

American Indians also have an oral history of the holy ones who could change the Earths surface with their use of "the word". The children began to play with the word and caused great gouges in the Earth and caused volcanoes to erupt, so the holy ones took the magical word away from the children of Earth. Only a few Elders got to keep the magical word but on the promise it was kept holy and not given to those who did not treat it as it was divine! Sacred. Very sacred

This is Heaven!!! Nature is beautiful. I would love to live near this place.

I had the honor of climbing idanre hill...I still have some water from the healing river. It is truly amazing to see. I will never climb it again. Next ikogosi springs. No place in America is this beautiful.

Hi David, I recently discovered your Channel, never knew Nigeria was so beautiful. You are right, this a different World. It actually looks like You're on a different Planet.

This was amazing! The views are absolutely stunning. You’re right saying it’s a different world! 😻✨ It looks like dinosaurs were about to pop out in the distance! 🤩 Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.

THIS CITY IS STRATEGICALLY WELL POSITIONED!! RESPECT FOR THE FOUNDER!!

Thanks for showing the real Nigeria. Ive bin to Nigeria but only see the city of Lagos and pass treu some states. It was hard for me not to have the chance to see more. Ofcourse this amaxing large country will take at least to livetime to see all the beautiful places. Therefore many thanks, like to see more of it. Love Nigeria and his beautiful people❤

Wow Truely beautiful place. Great hearing youe guide talk of the cultural connections to the landscape. 👍👍👍

Great Job David. History at it's highest level

Greetings I want to come to Africa so bad I’m across the pond in America

wow that view on top of the rocks! stunning!

i got hooked as soon as he said he wants to hear voices🤣

Nkwa thanks so much for showing us this amazing opportunity. My greetings to you and your acompany. I'm so excited. Beautiful ❤❤❤❤.

What an adventurer you are, David! And v engaging one too! You keep us all glued to your channel👌🏾. You'll certainly give Indiana Jones a run for his money! Because yours have no stunts, cinematic effects, no gimmicks at all. Just raw brawn and of course you're also blessed with a wicked sense of humour! And make nonsense of your toils & troubles 😂😂😂 Well done!!!! for putting Nigeria & its natural beauty and sacred sights on the world map!! Long may your hard work continue to be recognised, acknowledged & pay off, IJMN🙏🏾😇🤞🏾👏🏾🤝🏾

Thank you David for always putting in a lot of work and resources for us. Be safe out there.

I've been up that hill... It was an interesting adventure.

I love your videos! I have sub, save and two thumbs up your video

This is very true, cos I was born in this beautiful place, very Serene and peaceful And there is a festival called "dare the mare" done every year on this mountain where people all over the world come to witness and celebrate, very peaceful and beautiful

The steps and surrounding nature are beautiful! National Geographic or something similar needs to pick you up bro. Very talented and your voice is easy to listen to

You need to chew the cocoa leaves to help with the oxygen in the high altitude

Great job, Idanre hills is one of those major tourist attraction centres in Ondo state. Beautiful and serene like you said. Great job for showcasing 👏👏

A beautiful town and location! Love the natural environment and scenery. The steps to the top is nice but a hard walk to the top and back.

Please look after your self I do love what doing keep it up weregawa Nwaoma jisike well done

Wow i love this place, the Government needs to construction drivable roads up there, is done in many places around the world, especially in northern Italy

Wish I could visit this place, looks gorgeous. i bet they have spectacular fool moons

thats look like garden of eden heaven

My crush is from here, I hope we end up marrying one day tho! M from anambra state.

Im from Angola living in UK . please see PUNGO ANDONGO in Angola . This rocks are called pedras negras ( black stones of pungo andondo ). Unfortunatlly only in portuguese lunguadge .

Those steps there are the real labors of our heroes past. Wonderful.

That city is in a perfect spot

Very beautiful! Thank you for making the trip, i'm travelling vicariously through you. I wish the government preserved the houses where the people lived then and the paths to getting there better at least we would be able to see how they lived and maybe relive the imagination For example, in America, i think they have like village exhibitions where you can see how former people lived, the tools they used, how they dressed etc. I guess with the colonial powers coming, they had no interest in preserving the place after conquering the people and our short sighted and greedy leaders too have no interest in preserving our heritage.

Very very enjoyable documentary. A very big Thank You David🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Who built those steps?. This is very interesting brother thank you so much for this exposure. Good job. Take record from documents of builders or government records. 💪👌👍🙏💖💘🇳🇬

Honestly you are the best carry on

Nice video. This your videos helped we ignorant nigerians to know more nigeria.

Well done sir, Keep it up.

Wonderful creation of Africa natural landscapes revealed to the world 🌍 Thanks much for showing us this amazing creation of lifestyle in ancient ages. Well done 👍👏🤓🌟🤴🎁🙏

Nice job love your video.

Another Great video 👍🏾👍🏾💯

Very enlightening! Thanks

Ojimoba may have inspired The rock of ages: Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure.

Thanks again for a very nice video. 🏆👍🙏🏾

Am from South Pacific Island, Papua New Guinea. Now l can see Nigeria is a beautiful place

Great video and funny conversations!

Stunning scenery and detailed video

This is really beautiful

Awesome David. Love your videos. Keep up the good work

Nice video I love it ❤

Just awesome.

Awesomeness I see..

Brother, you're doing a great job. Keep it up.

Most captivating vistas!!!

David, i can't not just stop but to watch till the end. With love from USA. You doing wonderful job

I love the way Nigerians think. No voice, not true story.🤣🤣 That’s a lot of cement to pack up a hill to create those steps. Respect!

What a great achievement Mr Nkwa Welldone 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤

Wow,Amazing!😊

i am from Greece and i am glad you know about meteora

wow this place is very big , good work brother

Thank you for introducing us to your country. If I hear one European descendant talks about Africa with some outdated dehumanizing narratives, I'm going to explode: it's as if no one told them it's 2023.

OMG! That place is truly amazingly beautiful

Idanre!!! I visited the place with my parents during my secondary school days. 'brings back memories 😀

"Volunteer to sleep there"🤣. David!!! You get mind. I can never try that thing.😂 Nice video.

Wow thank you for sharing such beautiful place
