Were I a papal Christian I should be before a priest now saying my confessions or having some penance dictated to me.
Or if I were to be of the Pentecostal order I would probably be observing some sentence to days of fasting and prayer decreed by a pastor for my "deliverance" and sanctification for daring to mingle with the circle of "idolaters" and “infidels”.

Agodi Gardens brings Ibadan back to life

Entrance to the resort

It is one of the beautiful features of the modern face Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has given the state capital, Ibadan.

From a derelict, weedy, marshy and abandoned grove, old Agodi Botanical Garden has come astir and a much sought-after haunt for fun-seekers, students and the middle class in the sprawling city. Thanks to a general facelift by the Ajimobi administration and a Nigerian firm, AM and Sea Ltd, with interests in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
