Nigeria


Today I visited Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populous counrty in Africa. It is also one of the most politically significant countries in Africa. Nigeria has an extremely rich diversity. Nigeria is known to be diverse because of its many cultures, art and music styles, history, and its physical features. It is located on the southern coast of western Africa. It is bordered by Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and Benin. The capital of Nigeria is Abuja. Abuja is located near the center of the country. The nation of Nigeria is oil rich, but still faces many problems in the current century. While I was in Abuja I noticed a building with four large towers higher than any other building. Later I realized what I saw was the Nigerian National Mosque. A mosque is a place of worship for muslims. This building is pictured on the left. The inside of the mosque is just gorgeous. This also pictured on the left. Nigeria is a country of mixed cultures which make it unique!
