My name is Tive Denedo, I live in Abuja, capital of Nigeria, a country with a huge but untapped tourism potentials. The Secretary-General of United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Zurab Pololikashvili, confirmed the assertion that Nigeria has the potential to be one of the world best tourists destinations. Nigeria occupies a land mass of about 923,765 sq km of diverse flora and fauna, The vegetation belts reflect the link between the vegetation and the country’s climate. The eight vegetation are the rain forest, fresh water swamp, the Sahel Savanna, the Short Grass Savanna, the Guinea Savanna, the Woodland, the Marginal Savanna and the Mangrove Forest. This makes for great travels and sight seeing as the country is home to a diversified specie of birds and animals. There are 940 species of birds including the African Fish Eagle, African Harrier-Hawk, African Hawk-Eagle, Ayres’s Hawk-Eagle and the Bat Hawk Bateleur Nigeria along with Elephants, Hyenas, Gorillas, Monkeys, Baboons and various categories of snakes.
The country also has the least natural disasters. There are no earthquakes, brush fires, Tsunamis and Tornadoes. Its landscape makes for great travel even during the wet season when the roads can be slippery. Then the vegetation is in bloom and there unfolds another type of green scenery along the travel routes.The people are warm and friendly, except for the usual challenge of not being able to manage the country to realise her full potentials.
There is so much to enjoy in Nigeria; the food, the business opportunities as an emerging market, in oil and gas, agriculture, solid minerals, education and sports
I love to travel and the work that I do offer me enormous possibilities for travel. It led to my other passion for taking photographs. I posted these photographs and I saw Google offered me points and I just decided from there to keep taking photographs and sharing. I was doing this for the fun of it and just enjoying helping others get information about new places through Google. I hope to share more photographs; not just of places only but about the culture in general.
