Lagos, Nigeria ALOK IKOM STONE MONOLITHS The monoliths carry evidence of advanced pre-colonial civilizations and still remain mysterious to many. Akwasnshi/Atal as the monolith is called among the Ejagham people of the Cross River State is distributed among over” thirty communities. In Etinan and Nabrokpa communities, the stones are located in an area of uncultivated forest outside the villages. The majority of the stones are carved in hard, mediumtextured basaltic rock, a few are carved in sandstone and shelly limestone. The geometric images on the monoliths suggest that their makers possessed more than a basic knowledge of mathematics, not only because they are geometric, but also because of the obvious implication that there were computations and numbers on the layout of the stones. TINAPA BUSINESS AND LEISURE RESORT, CALABAR Situated by the Calabar River, Tinapa is a business and leisure resort conceptualised to be an integrated business resort. It is a four phased development promoted by the Government of Cross River State, under a Private Public Partnership (PPP), and very close to Calabar Free Trade Zone. Tinapa Business & Leisure Resort is the realisation of an exciting dream – the first integrated business and leisure resort in Nigeria. NOK CULTURE SETTLEMENT The Nok culture is an early Iron Age population whose material remains are named after the Ham village of Nok in Kaduna State of Nigeria, where their famous terracotta sculptures were first discovered in 1928. The Nok Culture appeared in northern Nigeria around 1500 BC and vanished under unknown circumstances around 500 AD, thus having lasted approximately 2,000 years. Iron use, in smelting and forging for tools, appears in Nok culture by at least 550 BC and possibly earlier. Data from historical linguistics suggest that iron smelting was independently discovered in the region prior to 1000 BC. Scientific field work began in 2005 to systematically investigate Nok archaeological sites, and to better understand Nok terracotta sculptures within their Iron Age archaeological context. (Copied from Wikipedia) Kainji Lake National Park (KLNP) was the first National Park to be established among the eight that are currently present in Nigeria. The Park covers an area of 5,340.82 km2 and is comprised of two sectors, Borgu and Zugurma. This study revealed that KLNP harbours diverse flora, fauna, hydrological, cultural and human resources.
