Kabiru S. ★★★★★ : It was education and informative history and the first one history
Chiedozie K. ★★★★★ : The Museum, like most Museums and history subjects in Nigeria, is neglected. But I enjoyed the history lessons I got from the Museum. The history of Northern Nigeria is really rich. I saw weapons, manuscripts, items that are as old as 700 years. If you ever go to Sokoto State, please, whether you are a Christian or Muslim, whatever tribe, I really encourage you to visit this museum.

abbas J. ★★★★★ : This giginya place is one of bountiful stadiums in NIGERIA I really love that place so much
Skyfall ★★★★★ : The main stadium is a mini football field (grass grown). But, around the stadium consists of other sports arena like the local football field (sand filled), standard volleyball courts, a place to practice playing cricket, Basketball court, e.t.c. I would love to add that their volleyball players are disciplined, with amazing strategy. They whipped my team. The picture attached shows the giginya stadium as a venue for hosting the 2022 Batch A, stream 1 passing out Corp members.

Julius R. ★★★★★ : Its just a roundabout. You are not supposed to even stop there. Historically, it used to be a gate to one of the 7 divisions of Sokoto township. It is about a kilometer to the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto and the Sokoto State Specialists Hospital and about a kilometer to the Zonal Police Headquarters at Marina. It is situated in the centre of Sokoto famous leather works industry.
Oluwafemi O. ★★★★★ : It is a business area and has very close by, a police station, the city campus and a court and traffic is not heavy at any time of the day

Nafiu G. ★★★★★ : The area is rapidly developing and that's quietly interesting thing, especially for the middle-class and less privilege persons who mostly owned the houses in that area.
Thomas O. ★★★★★ : Neat and serene environment to reside. A little distance to main urban Sokoto but commercial vehicles are always about. Variety of houses for rent for different budgets. Assurance of adequate security seems to be one of the selling points. Main attractions close to Bado Quarters includes: Airport, Sokoto College of Education, Polytechnic, Police Academy, e.t.c.
