My Town in 10 pictures: Kwara state, Nigeria

Hi steemians,

I am delighted to share these amazing pictures of my area with my Steemian friends. It is my passion to look around and take good pictures of these places in order to show the world the unique places we have. It not only attracts investors but also generates income in one way or another for the government.

Ilorin Central Mosque was built in 1974 by the late Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Zulkarnaini Gambari. This mosque is only open for worshippers on Fridays, where both indigenes and non-indigenes observe Jumma'at prayer. The sun is bright, which makes the image fascinating. The palm trees stand firmly for the worshippers to stay and pray.

Al-Hikmah University is the first Islamic university in Nigeria. They offer the best courses to their students, and most of their students are from the northern part of the country. Their students dress modestly, and they operate according to Islamic law. Although it is not a government-owned institution, the owner really tries in terms of standards so that they can compete with other students outside the world.

The newly constructed shopping complex around Yebumoat roundabout will look nice if they complete everything. The place is still under construction. I wonder what the building will look like when they finish it. It will develop the area where sellers will be selling different varieties of products. I took the pictures in the afternoon. You can see from the image above that the shopping complex is built in a straight row.
