THE news we often hear most times about Eastern Nigeria dominated by the Igbo ethnic group is the agitation for Biafra. But what a number of Nigerians do not know is that there is more to this region than the agitation for secession.

There are deposits of tourists destinations tucked in different parts of the region from Enugu to Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra, and Abia. For travellers who are preparing for adventure or looking for where to visit in Eastern Nigerian.

Here are six destinations to include in your itinerant:

Ngwo Pine Forest
The Ngwo Pine Forest is a large collection of pine trees in a beautiful formation. It is a perfect place for relaxation and picnic. The forest also houses a cave and waterfall, which is approximately 30-minute walk away from the thick forest. Enugu is the home of the Pine Forest.

National War Museum
One phase that can never be forgotten in the history of Eastern Nigeria is the period of the Biafran war. The war took place between 1967 and 1970. It was a bitter and brutal war. So, if you want to relive the war experience, you should visit the National War Museum located in Umuahia, Abia State. It was established in 1985.
