Steemit Engagement Challenge S2W2 | Steem4Nigeria Contest | No place like home: About my country Nigeria.

The name Nigeria was coined from NIGER Area in the year 1914,of many countries in the African continent Nigeria happens to be one of the greatest in Africa located in the Western region of the continent.Nigeria is a wild and diverse country with different ethnic groups in it though we have three main languages which are the Yoruba,Hausa and Igbo and they speak more than 500 languages.Nigeria is an English speaking country due to it been colonized by the British of which got its independence in the year 1960 and became a republic in 1963 as i mentioned earlier.

Nigeria is also tagged as the giant of Africa because of it's unique characteristics and it's contributions to peace solving in the united Nations missions around the world. Back then the capital of Nigeria was Calabar then Lagos and now is Nigeria is a beautiful place filled with milk and honey we are known for the best.

In the history of Nigeria, a lot of great achievements has been made both locally and internationally, one thing i like with Nigeria is that no matter where you go in the world his identity is always transparent and easily to identify.In my dear country Nigeria, there are alot of things that interest me among which are;

A Nigerian love his culture and practices even though they are two main religions, Christianity and Islam. Culture is still of importance to a Nigerian individual as it cannot be taken out or banned alongside it's practices.Nigeria culture is beautiful and unique, most expecially the traditional customs, the festival celebration among the three ethics groups.The country has been known for its contributions in the aspect of art and creativity most popularly known for the Benin Nok and terracotta artifacts and many.

Nigeria is blessed when it's comes to agriculture because we produce different types of crops and our land is very fertile.Nigeria also has different tasty meals and all kind of fruits you can get and they are very interesting to indulge in devouring them. Some of the food are;

My dear country Nigeria is blessed with so many natural resources such as gold, lead, oil/gas, clay, dolomite e.t.c with all this natural resources there are alot of opportunities for people from different part of the world to and invest the solid mineral sector of the economy.

The climatic weather in Nigeria is one of the sweetest thing I love about my country, the weather is so refreshing and very conducive for everyone because of the excessive rainfall that is being experience in my country.

All the numerous things i mentioned above are very unique and that is what make me to prefer my country the most than any other countries because, Nigeria is a place were collective ideas are put into a nation building, in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship a lot of positive impacts has made to develop the countries economic growth and standard, also the cultural aspect is one of the greatest as people do not joke with it as it involves ancestry and preservations of continuity. Although other countries may have which is more important to them but in the case of Nigeria it's culture is been impacted on an individual at an early stage of life and grows to old age not forgetting it's roots.

The search of greener pastures is a good thing because one is looking for ways to succeed in life and to be successful one needs to explore round the world, there is a saying that says no matter how far you may go never forget home, why because it retains the best memories ever, traveling outside my country is a good deal also involves purpose in life but home is never twice! And there's no place like it anywhere there is a saying in Nigeria that no matter how much you eat delicious food outside, your mother's food is always the best, so i would be willing to come back to my country and my father's land.

 Thank you...🤗
