Do you believe there& #39;s a place in Oyo that& #39;s over 4hrs even from Ibadan? .

You don& #39;t. Okay.
I went to Saki in Oyo for the first time recently, people who knew the place told me to leave Lagos early, I wondered why and told them I& #39;ve heard.

If I leave around 10, I should get there by 4pm at most, I said to myself. On that day, I left Lagos past 10, my driver chose to go through Sango and when we got to Ota, we realized an accident happened there a day before. & #39;I knew I have entered it& #39;,

we were in traffic for hours and we could have escaped if our driver didn& #39;t leave us in the cab to go and control traffic in front. Anyway, we FOUND him over 30mins, a fellow passenger insulted him in Yoruba and Hausa, at a point I couldn& #39;t help but sorry for him.

Coupled with that, the car got spoilt, luckily for us it happened at an army& #39;s checkpoint, one of them helped us in repairing it. We received insults from them that day, they said we were risking our lives with someone that doesn& #39;t care. We ended up being friends with them though
Lorokan (in summary), I got to Oje-Owode beside Saki by 7pm. Unluckily for me, my coming coincided with the husband to be family& #39;s arrival, so I started greeting, you know Yoruba people now, I bent my knees after all the stress I went through...

The town is beautiful, the towns nearby have beautiful hills, and I was scared of being kidnapped or something since I got there late, but they are helpful & accommodating. Also, I found out something shocking, the town shares border with Benin.

I found that really intriguing because I had no idea Oyo shares border with another country, but I needed explanations for the customs and immigration services officers I saw on the roads. I had also always wondered if the people of Dahomey used to come through Badagry to pay...
homage or fight in Oyo, as in, why come that far, but I know better now.
There are mainly Muslims in the town, its a place to relax as it is really quiet & there are no mosquitoes, I was shown a plant that keeps them away so I could stay anywhere without the fear of them.
