The Abuja National Mosque, also known as the Nigerian National Mosque, is the national mosque of Nigeria, a country with a substantial Muslim population. The history of the mosque began in the eighties, when it was decided to move the capital of Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja. In 1981 a group of prominent local Muslims decided to request the construction of a national mosque and to contribute to the project with donations. The construction work was entrusted to the AIM Consultants Ltd and ended in 1984. The four minarets are high about 120 meters, while the large central dome is 60 meters. The building includes a library and a conference room. The complex also includes a conference center able to serve five hundred people, the office of the Islamic Center and the residential facilities for imams and muezzins. The mosque is located in the Independence Avenue, in front of the National Church of Nigeria.

It's true that the bond between a mother and a daughter is something special. It’s so special that words only can’t explain it. We have to create an image that gives an explicit explanation about a mother’s love for her daughter.

My version of this historic edifice (Mapo hall) shot on Iphone.

HallMapo Hall is the colonial style Ibadan City Hall, perched on top of Mapo Hill, in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Mapo Hall was commissioned during the colonial era by Captain Ross in 1929. It was designed and constructed by Engineer Robert Jones. Officially Robert A.Jones (1882–1949).
The cost of construction was £24,000 and the construction took four years between 1925 and 1929. The foundation stone was laid in June 1925 by Capt. W. A. Ross (The Resident, Oyo Province) and it was completed and declared open by His Excellency, Sir Graeme Thomson during the traditional leadership of Oba Shiyanbola Ladugbolu, the Alaafin of Oyo and Oyewole, the Baale of Ibadan.
The hall is renowned for its seven columns depicting the seven hills upon which the ancient city was built. The architecture of the hall, modelled after St George's Hall Liverpool, is a constant reminder of early British influence in the administration of Ibadan as part of the Oyo Province. The hall serves as an important landmark that could be seen from most part of the city, especially from the other six hills between which the city spreads out. Labour was provided by the natives, probably by the prisoners held here as tax defaulters and other slaves.
It was renovated in 2006 and the renovated hall was commissioned by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on 6 September 2007.
Over the years, the hall had played host to major political and social events in the city, shaping the socio-political direction of Nigeria in general. The Sixth Annual Convention of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons was held here on 5 May 1955 an it was here that Nnamdi Azikiwe delivered his presidential address.
