THE FOUNDATION OF THE COUNTRY: NIGERIA.

Nigeria is a lovely country situated in the western part in the African continent. Nigeria was founded and colonised by the British in 1914. Nigeria had her independence precisely on the 1st of October, 1960. Ever since then has been ruling herself as a nation.

Nigeria is the giant of Africa. Nigeria has 36 states and Abuja the Federal capital territory which is also the seat of the government. Nigeria has the largest human population of 200 million people as at the last census in 2016. This has given her a position as the largest populated country in the black race of Africa. Nigeria is in the 6th position of the numbers of all the oil producing nations of the world, she has so much oil both for her own usage and to supply other nations of the world. Nigeria has a common boundary with Cameron, Niger, Benin and the republic of Chad.

NIGERIAN CULTURAL BACKGROUND

Nigeria is a multi ethnic, multi religious and multi cultural country. The official language in Nigeria is the English language. Though Nigeria has over 250 indigenous languages and tribes, but the most recognized tribes are Igbo,Hausa and Yeruba tribes. Myself @ijebest is from the Igbo tribe.

CULTURAL CUISINES OF THE IGBOS

The Igbos believe in their own cultural cuisines in the place of cassava flour, corn, rice, yam, soup of assorted types and vegetables. The Igbos are always sure to eat their local meals wherever they are, that is why even in foreign countries you will see African restaurants opened by the Igbo, like in Hong Kong in the Asian Country, there was a standard Igbo restaurant in an ancient house in Kowloon called the chonking mansion, many Igbo traders that came all the way from Nigeria to that Asian Country come to in that very restaurant, I was in Asia at the time, so I also patronized the owner an Igbo lady.
