Reference excerpt

Obanliku Mountain Resort (formerly known as the Obudu Cattle Ranch) is a ranch and resort on the Obudu Plateau in Cross River State, Nigeria.

History It was developed in 1951 by M. McCaughley, a Scot who first explored the mountain ranges in 1949. He camped on the mountaintop of the Oshie Ridge on the Sankwala Mountains for a month before returning with Hugh Jones, a fellow rancher, in 1951 and Dr Crawfeild. Thus, together they developed the Obudu Cattle Ranch. Since 2005, a cable car climbing 870 metres (2,850 ft) from the base to the top of the plateau gives visitors a scenic view while bypassing the extremely winding road to the top.

Geography The resort is found on the Obudu Plateau, close to the Cameroon border in the northeastern part of Cross River State, approximately [1]110 kilometres (68 mi) east of the town of Ogoja and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from the town of Obudu in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Obudu town and is about a 332 kilometres (206 mi) drive from Calabar, the Cross River State capital.

Transport Charter air service is available to the Bebi Airport which lies between the village of Obudu and the resort. However, the airstrip is no longer functioning, and the cable car has been grounded for a while now due to lack of maintenance. In 2020, it was reported that the Governor of Cross Rivers State, Prof. Ben Ayade pledged to revive the cable car after successful test running it for the Christmas period. Since then, life has returned to the ranch.

Climate The climate of the Obudu Cattle Ranch is semi-temperate mountain climate, which is the general weather condition experienced on the Obudu Plateau due to its 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) elevation.

Tourism The ranch has in recent times seen an influx of both Nigerian and international tourists because of the development of tourist facilities by Cross-River State Government, which has turned the ranch into a well-known holiday and tourist resort center in Nigeria. It has a serene climate compared to other regions in Nigeria.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Obudu Mountain Resort

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Obudu Mountain Resort claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Obudu Mountain Resort before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Obudu Mountain Resort ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Obudu Mountain Resort

In research: Obudu Mountain Resort appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Obudu Mountain Resort in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Obudu Mountain Resort is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1951 establishments in Nigeria, Cross River State, Hiking in Nigeria, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Obudu Mountain Resort outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
