The second Imo “36” Walk was successful and awesome. Imo State is located in the south eastern Nigeria. Imo is popularly know as the Eastern Heartland! My trip to Owerri was over 500km drive and took us about 7hours!
Local Guides converged at 130 Wetheral Road, Owerri; to our surprise there’s large scale excavation works in the city. We had to change our route and headed straight to New Owerri. The traffic jam afforded us opportunity to take photographs from the car. At a point, we all had to get down to take more photos as we saw interesting landmarks i.e the Stallion.
New Owerri was green,serene, resplendent and sprightly. The tingly sun brightened the view and quality of photos too. Our walk took us to the IHop Recereation Centre, Children’s Park, Heroes Square, Concorde Hotel, Mimi’s Place and a drive through the Concorde Boulevard.
Some of the public places we walked had accessibility trails too and I didn’t fail to appreciate them for these features.
Imo State is widely known for its statues! Going to have a view of some of the sculptures was one of our major goals. Hopefully, we’ll share more pictures and details about these artworks with the rest of Nigerians who haven’t seen them. So, here’s an exclusive photos for #Local Guides.
We had @Triplo who made his car available for this mee-tup. +Austine Ulor got inducted in to the Imo Local Guides Community.
There some many places to map and lots of activities to catch up with in Owerri,Imo State. We are looking forward to having more local guides organize and attend meet-ups in the future. Meanwhile, see all our photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/mO9dnCSQBM4HasDh2 and recap video https://youtu.be/scw-82gEU3A
Traveling for a meet-up has become some sort of routine for me and I am loving it. #LetsGuide
With love from Imo,Nigeria!
