During my tender age, I could remembered Travelling with my Dad, mum and siblings on a Christmas holiday, you know as a little child, the site of some nice places, stopping by the eatery. I love the fascinating view of the Niger and Benue River and to sum it all the overhead bridge, we heard about it in school and it was always good we saw it by ourselves…
