 tells  ​us about your Country.

Nigeria, which is officially known as the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa. The country was discovered in 1914, and it was named by journalist Flora show,after the amalgamation of southern and northern to form Nigeria. In 1960, Nigeria got independent and became a republic in 1963. It is considered the most populated country in Africa with a population of more than 160 million.

Because of our unique nature, and how we have contributed to solving some crisis in some parts of the world, we are considered the giant of African. Nigeria is filled with natural resources, and beautiful people with unique cultures, and identities.

 What are the great things that                           
 ​interest you about your country?

The great things that interest me about my country are numerous, and cannot be mentioned all. Remember, my country is the giant of African, a country filled with gold, and silver, a country which is filled with hardworking people. We are blessed from all aspect of life. Educationally, we are gifted, culturally, we are the best, economically, we can't be compared to any country in Africa because, we are far ahead, but for the sake of this contest, and the above question, below are some of the things that interest me about my country the more.

Have you seen the culture of the Housa people? An amazing culture that encourages harmony and fear of God, a culture with beautiful dressing, and unique dancing styles.

What about that of Igbo? A culture with varieties of beautiful things. A culture that encourages creativity, and business ideas.
The uniqueness of our culture in Nigeria, can never be overemphasized.

Agriculture: God has blessed my father land with fertile land. Even before the discovery of petroleum, agriculture has been the major source of our economy. On our land, we plant so many agricultural product, and in return, we harvest in bulk. What a blessing and favoured we have found before our creator. Some country are being faced with hunger due to lack of good agricultural land, but in my country, even the poorest person, don't go to bed with hunger because of lack of food. We have abundant of food, because our land is so fertile and productive.

   Which of the things mentioned
   above do you prefer your country 
   ​for, over other countries?

One thing I prefer country for, over other countries is culture. As I mentioned earlier, all our cultures in Nigeria, teaches respect for elders, fear of God, tolerance, etc. Personally, i @ishayachris cannot withstand a situation where by a child will feel he have equal right with his father, and that's the case in some countries. As such, I so much respect and cherish my country the most in that aspect.
