About Nigeria
Nigeria has an diverse geological setting on the west coast of Europe Cameroon, varying
from arid to rained equatorial climates. Nevertheless, Nigeria's population are the most
varied feature. Thousands of languages are spoken in the countries, among them
Yoruba, Igbo, Fula, Hausa, Edo, Ibibio, Tiv, and English. There are several natural
resources in the world, including vast deposits of oil and gas (Asafe, 59-63).
People at Nigeria
In Nigeria there are roughly 250 ethnic groups. Every one resides on a land it declares own
through first occupation and heritage rights.
Persons not part of the ruling party but who have existed and served in the group's territories
for many decades are often known as outsiders (Terwase, et al, 534-543)
Individuals not leaders of a traditional party yet who have been residing and operating in the
community's territories for many decades are often known as aliens.
The northern residence Hausa, one of the country's most powerful communities, was a part of
the smaller community of Fulani whose leaders invaded Hausa land in the first nineteenth
century, most of whom were Muslims.
In remote, autonomous territorial villages, the third major ethnic community, the Igbo of
South-eastern Nigeria, resides. The village, controlled by an elders 'council (choose by
reputation and not legacy), rather than a king, is the biggest political entity.

The Yoruba of south-west Nigeria is another broad and politically influential party. You
recognize the city of Ile-Ife as your father and the god Oduduwa as your progenitor. Much of
the Yoruba farmers live outside their rural farmlands in urban areas. A chief, or an Oblah,
who is normally assisted by a council of leaders shall rule each Yoruba community.
Culture at Nigeria
Nigeria has several regional museums, primarily in major cities and capital cities. The
Nigerian National Library and National Theatre are housed in Lagos. The Institutes of
African Studies, at the Universities of Ibadan and Nigeria (Nsukka), have done much to
reawaken interest in traditional folk dancing and poetry (Banki, Bala, and Hairul, 18-32)
The Sucur cultural landscape, which gives insight into the background of Sukur and Society
in Osun, a forest which contains many monuments and artworks in honor of the Yoruban
deity Osun, are metaphysical elements with a cultural context. In 1999 and 2005, these sites
were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Places at Nigeria
Nigeria is huge. There is no doubt about it. And just as the nay people claim the scale doesn't
matter, it creates a difference between the Guinean savannas grasses and the verdant tropical
rainforest, in western Africa, where only a few miles brings another interesting tribal group,
or this path across the Obudu Plateau. What we are thinking about is Nigeria's multiple
shades and values (Esu, 1-13)

metropolitan centres. Lagos is also big – 17.5 million, so it's always time to hang out on the
Atlantic beaches (Eja, Joseph Ukwayi ,Felix Eja Ojong, 426-432)
We are going to and from the towns, and the many faces of Nigeria begin. The chimpanzees
from the wooded gorges of Gashaka Gumti this time appear like humans. Or, like the black
cranes of the wetlands of Bade-Nguru, they plumed into purple. All is very pretty.
One of the best places to visit in Nigeria:
1. Calabar
Calabar is a well- tourist stop on the road to Cameroon or the southern shore of Nigeria and
the gateway to the Cross River Reserves (the capital of the capital of Calabar) and to the
more twisting rainforests of the African mountains (home to gorillas, monkeys, unusual rock
birds and ragging stone peaks).
But make sure to take the daring period of a darker city history away from the Calabar
Museum before you create a beeline for the amazing primate sanctuaries outside the region –
Calabar once was a large slave trading port in Western Africa.
The Duke Town Chapel is also worth attending, one of Nigeria's oldest houses of Christian
worship.
