At long last, we are in Kaduna State!
Kaduna State is to the North of Abuja, but belongs to the North West of the geopolitical zone in Nigeria.

A huge river, Kaduna River gave rise to the name of the state. But according to Zaharan, our guide for this trip...it has a more sinister meaning. Kaduna, derived from the root word Kada means crocodile in Hausa language. Honest! Google it...But according to another source..it's from another language, Gbagyi which means river. Anyway, right now just accept the simple fact that we are in Kaduna.
