"NIGERIA" Nigeria by Wafro
Nigeria Travel Guide: 472 reviews and 899 photos
In my Cameroon Page you'll see, that I stayed in Sabongari for a while.
This was the starting point for my trip into the mountains.
My guide and I went all the way to Atta and passed the border without a Nigerian visa.
After a few kilometers we left the road and went all the way up to the Donga River in Nigeria.
Over there we slept at a friends place and the day after we packed our bags, had breakfast, bought some food and water and went back to Sabongari in Cameroon.
It was a nice trek and we even spotted a few animals.
But there's one thing I can say for sure about Nigeria.
Once it was a beautiful country, but foreign multinationals and corrupt dictators are destroying entire cultures and ecosystems.
Fela Kuti sang about it, Ken Saro Wiwa wrote about it and I will repeat it.
(by the way: this isn't a political statement, these are REAL FACTS)
Look for Warnings and dangers.

Like everywhere else the oil industry has destroyed/corupted Nigeria. I have been all over Nigeria and love the place and the vibe (thanks to the optimism of the average Nigerian) but the coruption is an issue.
This is info that should be publicised more, with the facts so blatantly clear, it makes folk more aware of issues they know so little about.
Yes you are right about that company, am not sure if I am informed well or if it was a rumour but the government paid for the training of the employees? or at least provided logistics for it?
We used to live by the Donga river (about 18 years ago) how I wished I could have taken alot more pictures.Next time maybe visit Yankari Game Reserve and go to Wikki Hot Springs...very cool : ) I would love to go back to Africa - Heidi
You did a good job, to give all this information. We had a lot of campaigns against Shell several years ago, but didn't continue ....
I have heard about these various issues in Nigeria over the past several years, but had not seen it all put together in one place before!
