It was a great experience as other tourists and hikers from accross Nigeria joined the hike to the site of the first airplane crash site in Africa located in Ikogosi-Ekiti, a town in Ekiti State. The one hour hike from the Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort will never be termed an hyperbole as it was soul feeding; leaving the energized tourists as victims of palpable excitement and renewed commitment to humanity. This was evident in the clamour and observance of a  minute silence for the selfless pilot and soldiers who choose to rather crash in a thick forest than cause the extinction of a whole village. In addition, prayers were said for the souls of the casualties.  Mr. Adefemi Oluwatobi Oje, the tour guide, recounted the historic accounts passed onby Late Chief Ruf...

Paintball is a competitive team shooting sport in which players eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with spherical dye-filled gelatin capsules ("paintballs") that break upon impact.

Teamwork and Strategy We kind of fudged on this because teamwork and strategy don't have to go to...
