Nigeria is a very promising Country, ever since I was young, I have always been proud of my Country, for everyone in Africa wants to be A Nigeria, even till date despite the challenges the country is facing.
Lets all take a little journey to history of Nigeria,
So let's all my reader be aware, I'm not an history guy, i remember in my secondary school, social studies, Geography and History wasn't much of fun to me hehe, but I can try to say some few things about my Country Nigeria.
So first off, one big fact about Nigeria is that: Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, we have a very rich and diverse history that spans thousands of years.
We are blessed with diverse cultures, tribes, and languages, that is being loved by people all around the world.
I am from one of the Three Major Tribes in Nigeria, Namely: Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. I am a Yoruba by Tribe.
From ancient kingdoms to colonial rule, and from independence to modern nationhood.
Nigeria's story is one of resilience, adaptation, and transformation.
Nigeria's history actually began with the emergence of some Great ancient kingdoms likes: the Nok, Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba civilizations.all These kingdoms developed complex societies, traded with neighboring regions, and created sophisticated art and architecture.
