Seventy kilometers (2 hours drive) north of Lagos in the state of Ogun is the Olumu rock, the massive granite outcrop that is a Yoruba sacred shrine. It is located in the town of Abeokuta which means “under the rock”. Years ago (in the 1830’s) it was a shrine where animal sacrifices were practiced amung the Yoruba tribe. Today it is a massive rock that one can climb to the top of to have a spectacular view of the town. By the time we climbed to the top the rain had stopped, the sun had come out and we saw Abeokuta with a clear view.
