Nigeria - Land of Internet Crime?

Advantages: Different
Disadvantages: Dangerous

, with its \"Greet Weestern Lotel\" as its spelt has no charm about it whatsoever, and on several occasions locals with AK47s paid me and my crew a visit asking for money. Within a day or so, the Army turned up, not to protect us, but to ask us for money too. I paid, knowing the army actually gives their soldiers a few bullets. All problems stopped, apart from our translator going AWOL, never to be seen again! Years of military rule, corruption, and mismanagement have hampered economic activity and output in Nigeria and continue to do so, despite the restoration of democracy and subsequent economic reform. Like many African coutries, Nigeria is populated with resourceful people who will make a dime out of anything, including you! A word to the wise, Homosexuality is strictly forbidden in this country (It doest help that most of the guys ...

Review of General: Nigeria

Lagos: the real capital of Nigeria!!!

Advantages: Bubbling city, pleasant places of interest
Disadvantages: Traffic Jams, over populated, police!!!

It will be quite a challenge writing about this wonderful city, having lived there for many years. A very fast paced city it is and you certainly have to be tough and resilient to survive here. Lagos was formerly the capital of Nigeria, which happens to be the most populated country in the whole of Africa. It is even said that one in every black person is a Nigerian.

As any big metroplex would, it boasts of its highways, fly-overs, bridges, skyscrapers and the like. It has a population of perhaps 10million; perhaps because no one really knows the population. It tends to be more expensive than other parts of the country but virtually any large corporation that has any ...

Review of Lagos (Nigeria)

ABUJA- THE NEW AND IMPROVED LAGOS OF NIGERIA

Advantages: CLEAN, LOW CRIME, GOOD TOURIST ATTRACTION, STATE OF THE ART INFRASTRUCTURE
Disadvantages: RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE AND A DEVELOPING ENETERTAINMENT SCENE

ABJ as the city is fondly called is the new and improved ?Lagos ?of Nigeria. ?Lagos? in the sense that it is the centre of all the hustle and bustle of Nigeria, in other words thee heart beat of the country. However things are slowly changing as the not so new capital of Nigeria is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Located in the centre of the country?s Middle Belt, Abuja is covered mainly with savannah grassland but there are patches of rainforest. There are two seasons, the hot and dry harmattan (November to March) and the rainy season (April to October). The weather is a bit peculiar as there have been hailstorms and extremities of temperatures within the same day; boiling hot in the day and very cold in the night almost like a desert. The weather can change at the drop of a hat. The city is clean and not as densely ...
