Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am glad to know about Gboko as i was not aware of this place before. I think such small places should be brought to light on a bigger forum like this so that travel lovers like me can get a glimpse about various places on this earth. I am happy to hear that people of this place are very friendly and receptive and this will help the tourists visit Gboko again and again. The food is cheap and plentily available which is an icing on the cake. What say?
