Nigeria is by far the most populous country on the continent – home to 223 million Africans. The country has everything you would expect from Africa – friendly people, bubbling cities from Lagos to Kano, interesting festivals, tropical rainforests, the arid Sahel landscape with its baobab trees and large herds of cattle owned by nomads, and, somewhat surprisingly, even sand dunes and oases. And, undeniably, quite a few yellow and three-wheeled moped taxis to sit in endless traffic jams. Despite its massive size and good flight connections, Nigeria is still one of the less known countries in Africa.
