Name: Federal Republic of Nigeria Capital: Abuja Population: 230 million Surface area: 920,000 km² Language: Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba Neighbouring countries: Benin, Niger, Chad , Cameroon

Lagos, a major financial center in Africa, is Nigeria’s largest city and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Known for its vibrant culture, bustling markets, and lively entertainment scene, Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy and a melting pot of diverse cultures. The city is famous for its iconic Third Mainland Bridge, one of the longest in Africa, connecting the mainland to the island where many businesses are located. For many Lagos remains a city of immense energy and creativity, seen in its thriving music, fashion, and film industries.

Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sacred forest along the banks of the Osun river is dotted with sanctuaries, shrines, and sculptures in honor of Osun, the Yoruba goddess of fertility. It’s a unique representation of the Yoruba’s living culture and spiritual beliefs, with its annual Osun-Osogbo festival drawing participants from around the globe.

Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, is known for its well-planned layout and impressive modern architecture, a stark contrast to many other cities in the country. Established in the 1980s to replace Lagos as the capital, it’s located in the heart of Nigeria, making it more accessible from all parts of the country. Abuja is distinguished by notable landmarks such as the Aso Rock, a large monolith, and the Nigerian National Mosque and National Christian Centre, symbolizing the country’s religious diversity.

Growing upwards and outwards from a clutch of islands peppering the Atlantic Ocean on the West African panhandle, Nigeria’s great megalopolis (and the largest city in Africa no less) is a veritable tumult of life and energy. From the sprawling tin-shack slums of Ebute Metta on the mainland, to the shimmering high rises of the Lagos CBD and the endless entertainments of Victoria Island, this ever-growing hodgepodge of skyscrapers, mechanised ports, oil depots, and chaotic traffic rarely fails to overwhelm.

Once the stomping ground of the British and then the Portuguese, Lagos still plays host to the remnants of Africa’s darker days, more notably at the old Broad Street Prison that has been fantastically converted into the Freedom Park. A popular city park with locals and expats alike, it comes equipped with food stalls, a museum and concerts galore, indicative of the city’s booming arts and cultural scene all over. Lagos’ coastal location affords much more wholesome pleasures too, with Lagos tour guides recommending lazy days at the Eleko beach and thrumming weekend nights on Elegushi beach. These, coupled with bustling markets, a medley of Indian, Chinese and African eateries, and wilder attractions like the Lekki Conservation Centre (home to turtles and monitor lizards) round up the urban sights!
