This is a long overdue post.
One of the best things about Kwara State is the diversity of its people. Prior to moving to Ilorin, my knowledge of the geography of the state did not go beyond Ilorin and Offa, was actually surprised to find out that some of the Nupe people (popularly called 'Tapas') also originate from Kwara State.
On Good Friday (April 18th), the team and I visited Shonga town to interview the Emir on a documentary the company was recording for the state government. We bid a temporary farewell to Ilorin and embarked on the over an hour long journey to Shonga.
The town of Shonga is known as the town where the commercial farmers displaced from Zimbabwe and invited by the Bukola Saraki administration to revolutionize agriculture in the state.

On our way back to Ilorin, we made a quick de-tour to the market which is open only on Fridays.
