"Nigeria" Nigeria by daarth

Nigeria Travel Guide: 629 reviews and 867 photos

I spent 3 years of my childhood in Nigeria. I will not attempt to comment on the current situation in the country. I hear a lot of negative comments, but I know as a matter of fact (from people that have been there more recent) that Nigeria has a lot of positive sides. Only the negative sides reaches the Western news media.

Also see my Sierra Leone page on Freetown.

Wandered into your page of Nigeria. Still not able to get a postcard from Nigeria when I already have received one from 25 other African countries. Strange...

Nice Nigeria page. Over the past summer I had the opportunity to study Nigeria. Now, I'd like to go there! By the way, I like your profile picture! It's quite funny.
