I am Faith Okoro from Abia State, Nigeria. Before i got admission to high institution, i lived with my uncle at Abuja, Nigeria.
The historical monument i had always admired then is called Zuma Rock.
Zuma Rock is located along Gwagwalada going towards Suleja Niger State, Nigeria.
The face of this Zuma Rock is usually scary. It has a human like face. It has contours of eyes, nose and mouth. You might not see it very well from this picture. But if you view it physically, you will see the human like face, with well pronounced eyes, nose and mouth. It is a strange and unique rock indeed.
According to history, nobody has ever climbed the rock and people that tries doesn't succeed carrying out their missions there.
That spot where it is located is always an accident spot. There is no month that lives are not lost at that spot, and according to the superstutitious believe of the people around there, they said it is the spirits living inside the rock that causes such accidents and loss of lives.
Zuma Rock is really a strange and a unique rock.

The first time i saw Zuma Rock i was so surprised, i thought my eyes was playing pranks on me. I asked my uncle, can you see the eyes, nose and mouth of a human being in this rock, he said it had always been like that. It looked so strange.

You need to have a tour around Abuja Nigeria, then visit Zuma Rock and confirm for yourself.
We call it the rock with human face.
