Many of languages are spoken in the country, including Igbo, Fula, Yoruba, Hausa, Edo, Ibibio, English and other more. The country has natural resources, majorly large deposits of petroleum and natural gas.

My country, Nigeria may not be a perfect even as we’ve got no perfect country in the world and this is why I feel compelled and courageous to stand up for the nation at which a was introduced to by birth.

I love the languages in which nigerians are endowed with. These languages are divided into major parts and ethnics groups. We also speak the general language which is English. Even though You can’t even begin to learn all this languages, we now communicate through a diverse form of English we call “Pidgin English”. It is the easier and most popular way for people to communicate especially in informal settings.

Food;

The kind of food we eat here in Nigeria has also been exceptional, even in the movies I watch I haven’t seen any country’s food more appetizing then that of Nigerians’ to me. I so much love our food because it is so delicious and simple to prepare.

Resources;

Nigeria has a great deal of natural resources ranging from, crude oil to coal, cotton, iron ore, limestone, various precious stones, rubber, organic food crops and many others. This has made Investment opportunities limitless here in our country.

Traditional attires;

Another reason why my country is the best is in the aspect of our traditional attire. I love our native attire so much, even though different country have their tradition and attires but I really love ours. These attires are popular with Nigerians especially at functions. We have the Ankara which is popular with even foreigners now, the Adire, the Aso Oke and many more. The various tribes across the country have certain attired affiliated to them which are made into trendy and elegant outfits to suit different occasions. It is difficult for visitors to resist leaving with one of these attires due to love they also have for it.

Street vendors;

As frustrating as traffic in Nigeria can feel sometimes, there’s a good and profitable part of the experience. You can find virtually anything you need to buy in traffic. Thirsty and hungry? Get some soda, water, juice, yoghurt, popcorn, peanuts, bananas, ice cream, plantain chips, sausages, fruits and the likes.

Least I forget, one wonderful place where our President (Muhammadu Buhari) residences

One State I love so much in Nigeria.

LAGOS STATE

Lagos is a state in Nigeria and is Nigeria’s most amazing city that has wonderful beaches, astonishing skyscrapers, amazing parks, best entertainment options, and there are most job opportunities and so much more. Lagos is one of our major cities of Nigeria where commercial activities commenced and in the rest of West African sub-region. Most industries and business enterprises in Nigeria have their headquarters in Lagos.

Some reasons I love the state.

Luxury hotels;

Lagos has several beautiful and well furnished hotels. If your business partners, family or friends visit, you need not panic because there will always be a suitable hotel accommodation for them that will suit their class and taste in Lagos.

Delicious streets foods;

Lagos street foods have a wonderful flavour and taste that will be difficult to get anywhere. The most popular and delicious barbecue meat, known as Suya can be found at almost every corner of the city. Similarly, the famous ‘Agege’ Bread can be also be found on the streets of Lagos.

Good transportation system;

Lagos is a city that has its transportation system so organized and maintained by their government. The transport hustles, the street vendors, Agbero and bus conductors shouting destination names –“Oshodi Oshodi” each with his own distinctive funny tune, spectacular street dance performances and much more.
