The National Museum of Unity, Enugu State, was established in 1972 in a bid to unify Nigeria after the Nigerian civil war which ended in 1970. It is notable as the only thriving museum in the country dedicated to the ‘No Victor, No Vanquished’ slogan of 1970 designed to heal the then self-inflicted festering damages of the Nigerian Civil War.

The museum houses a host of invaluable cultural relics from different tribes in Nigeria that cannot fail to interest anyone with an eye for details and cultural awareness.

The Ikogosi Warm Springs is a tourist attraction located at Ikogosi, a town in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Ikogosi Warm Spring is a mystery, experts have claimed it is a wonder to have such formation from the same rock formation.

The two streams have separate origins with proximity. These two springs met at a confluence, retains their thermal properties and never mix.

The spring was made very popular by a Baptist Missionary Rev John S McGee in 1950 after he discovered it during missionary work in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Against warnings by the locals who thought something might happen to him if he visits.

He saw this mystery and thought it would be a great location to set up a Baptist Youth camp. It became a famous youth camp and tourist destination.

However, after he retired, the camp was abandoned and sold to the Nigerian Government in 1978 for Three Hundred Naira ($0.70). The place has become one of the top tourist destinations in Nigeria worth billions!.
