Sungbo’s Eredo

Take a taxi one hour north of Lagos to see Africa's largest pre-colonial construction and rated by experts as an unknown "Wonder of the World". The Eredo is a rampart that is 1,050 years old, 100miles (160km) long, and 70ft (20m) high. Locals will need to guide you in and out as the structure is rapidly covered in encroaching forest. To build it, more earth was moved than during the construction of the Great Pyramids at Giza. The Eredo may have been built as a memorial to Bilikisu Sungbo, a childless widow, whose grave is nearby.
