PICTURES OF THE LONGEST RIVER IN NIGERIA

Hi steemians!

It is a big pleasure getting in touch with you again today. I hope you are having a nice day!

Today, I will like to share with you pictures of one of the geographical gift of the nature that Nigeria is blessed with. And this is not only an ordinary natural gift but a natural gift with an extra ordinary feature.

This Natural gift is called River Niger.

"River Niger is the longest river passing through Nigeria, and also the longest river in West Africa. It is the third longest river on the African continent, after the Nile and Congo rivers. It extends through 2,597 miles surging through four other countries. Its main tributary is the Benue River. The source of the Niger is the Guinea highlands in southeastern Guinea and discharges to the Atlantic Ocean through the Niger delta. The Niger has one of the most unusual routes of any of the major rivers in the world. It follows a northeasterly course towards the Sahara Desert before turning southeast to discharge in the Atlantic Ocean. The unusual geography is because it is two ancient rivers joined together to a single route." Source
