The country is divided roughly in half between Christians and Muslims with a minority practicing indigenous religions. Nigerians are hardworking and accommodating people whose cultures teach a high sense of value for strangers. As a tropical country with a northern boundary that’s part of the Sahara Desert, Nigeria has a wide range of places of interest.
