Thanks to Dr Toluwani 'Tolu' Olalere for accompanying me and encouraging me all the way.
My special thanks to all the people of Lokoja who visited Mount Patti, Lokoja on Saturday, 9th November, 2019, who kept encouraging me to get to the top, despite my fatigue. (I badly need to get fit😁).
It took us 1hour and 30mins to reach the summit and 45 minutes to get back down.
It was a great experience, and the work out I desperately needed.
I went there just for sightseeing, turns out I should have dressed in my gym clothes.
Do have any questions, leave your comments below.
