From Bauchi State to Jigawa State ā hereās how my trip went step by step, including transport, hotel, food, and local movement.
We explored Birnin Kudu rock paintings, stopped by Ibrahim Saminu Turaki Tower, visited local markets, and stayed at Grand Ambar Palace.
If youāre planning this trip, budget around ā¦70,000 for comfort. Save this for later and share with your travel partner.
People warned me about Jigawa.
They said it was boring, underdeveloped, and had nothing to offer.
What they didnāt tell me is that Jigawa is calm.
Safe.
Full of kind people with a beautiful, conservative culture.
I went in with low expectations and left reminded of why I started traveling ā
to change the narrative about Northern Nigeria.
Gaskiya, you have to look beyond what people sayā¦
to see the beauty for yourself.
