If you are a regular on the Ikotun-Iyan-Ejigbo-Cele route, you will hardly notice an enthralling as well as sprawling resort by the Cele-Egbe bridge.
Hidden under the shadow of the receding swamp, the resort is one-of-its-kind, and simply, a sheer beauty and sanctuary for rejuvenating the body, and especially the soul.
Truly, Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Payer Mountain speaks volume on how a swamp can be transformed into a five-star resort and a hub for religious tourism in Nigeria.
Shortened to SCOAN Prayer Mountain for convenience’s sake, the resort, which sits in the old site of SCOAN, has so many things for it.
The humongous size tells the story better. It is set within a large expanse of land with natural ambience of trees and water, include; a kilometer of prayer and meditation walkway, a meditation garden that has rare and exotic species of peacocks and springboks, a helipad, and a speed boat to quickly convey pilgrims from one end of the resort to the other. Reclaimed from the swamp, the resort premises are built on elevated structure surrounded by water filled with catfish. It is an urban oasis that cuts off toxic air and noise pollution, and also less than 10 kilometers from Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA).
