boulders are arranged on top of one another in that delicate position
for thousands, if not millions of years, one cannot but be awed by the
majestic wonders of nature.

southwest of Jos, the capital city. The Riyom Rock is located in Riyom
Local Government Area of the state and the area is predominantly
