It was on the 1st of October 1960 that British colonial masters gave Nigeria it's independence.
Every year Nigerians celebrate this date and today is not exception...
Nigeria is the most populous African nation with lots of natural resources more than any country in Africa.
There are more than 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria and more than 500 dialects. The most popular ethnic groups are Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba from North, Southeast and Southwest respectively.
In the olden days Nigeria's economy rely solely on Agriculture but with the discovery of oil agriculture was abandoned by about 60% to 70%
Nigeria is a center of tourism with many natural and heritage places to visit like Gurara water falls, Zuma rock, Obudu cattle ranch, Ife dynasty, Olumo rock, Idanre hills and lots more.
Also there are natural game reserves like Yankari game reserve, Oyo game reserve, Kaiji game reserve and lots more.
I'm inviting you to come and have experience of a life time in Nigeria..
Kind regards
