History+Tourism: Unbelievable Things You Never Knew About The Mysterious Riyom Rock In Jos+Beautiful Pictures

 

INTRODUCTION
Here are outstanding pictures of the spectacular Riyom Rock in Jos, Plateau State in northcentral Nigeria. The Riyom Rock is one of the most enchanting scenes in Nigeria and taking a look at the way these mighty boulders are arranged on top of one another in that delicate position for thousands, if not millions of years, one cannot but be awed by the majestic wonders of nature.

The rock formation is located in Riyom Town just 25 kilometres to the southwest of Jos, the capital city. The Riyom Rock is located in Riyom Local Government Area of the state and the area is predominantly populated by Berom people. When viewed from some angles, the formation resembles the map of Plateau State.
The formation is also popularly known as Three Rocks.

There is a group that is clamouring for the rock formation to be listed as the 8th Wonder of the World. The relevant authorities need to really work on making this fantastic tourist attraction a major hub for West Africa. It is just too beautiful!
