As a local guide living in the city of Abuja, Nigeria, I absolutely look forward to having my phone prompt me to review a place i have visited or upload pictures of places I have visited. Each time I do so, I know I am contributing to making my community appear in the huge map of the world where it is so easy to not make an impression.
With stories of how Nigerians are swindlers or “princes” and have a negative image online, it is up to local guides like me to show the rest of the world that we are decent people and they should not allow the actions of a minute percentage of Nigerians create a negative impression of us.
I hope with my reviews and pictures of my community, people around the world will be able to have a positive impression of Nigeria and who knows, you might even add it to the list of places you’d like to visit someday!
