Some things you should know about my country (Nigeria) Nigeria is a blessed country with many natural resources, it is blessed with fertile land and different fruit, if one is not careful, you would take Nigeria as the garden of Eden. Apart from all these qualities, these are not the only thing that makes Nigeria unique, Nigeria is one of the countries located in the Continent of Africa, and another popular name this country is known for is Giant Of Africa. Join me as I take you on a journey, I would show you things that make Nigeria unique and special. 1. Heterogeneous state Nigeria is a heterogeneous state because of its large landscape, with about 923,768 km² landscape. Located at the extreme inner corner of the Gulf of Guinea on the west coast of Africa, Nigeria occupies an area of **923,768 sq.** **km (356,669 sq mi)**, extending 1,127 km (700 mi) E–W and 1,046 km (650 mi) N–S. Comparatively, the area occupied by Nigeria is slightly more than twice the size of the state of California. **Source** https://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Africa/Nigeria-LOCATION-SIZE-AND-EXTENT.html#:~:text=Located%20at%20the%20extreme%20inner,of%20the%20state%20of%20California. Due to this fact, various cultures, tribes, traditions, customs, and values make the country unique. 2. 3 Major traditional Group

Even with the diversity in tradition and culture, three traditional group stands out and they are the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba. This particular tribe can be found in any part of the country, they are most known for the kind of trade they do. The Hausa most known trade is cattle rearing and cash cropping, The Igbo are known to be more business-oriented, they sell anything that can profit them like clothing, foodstuff, automobile, and many more commercial trading, The Yoruba people are known to be educated elite, you find them in the office and many other commercial institutes, also people who sell pepper and tomatoes in the market are mostly Yoruba because it is believed they love their food spicy. 3. Different food delicacies

Since there are various tribes and traditions, this also shows that there would be various kinds of delicacies all over the country, till date the three tribes of Nigeria still struggle to be the best-known tribe with the best food delicacy, though I'm from the Yoruba tribe, and we do have different delicious food, I have tried some Igbo food, and very little of Hausa food, all I can say is that they are very delicious, I really don't care with tribe make the best food, all I care about is eating a portion of delicious food and having my belly filled up. 4. The people The people of Nigeria are very different from every other kind of people in this world, yes we are the same human being but something else makes us unique, Nigerians don't give up, on any problem they face, there always have a backup plan, even with all the hardship thrown at them, they only look forward to a better tomorrow, it doesn't matter the tribe or tradition. Nigerians are strong-hearted, from the age of 5years old, a child is already street smart, the street smart is different from any other kind of smartness, you can have a bachelor's degree, master's, or Ph.D., if one is not street smart, the person will get frustrated easily. Closing thought These aren't the only thing that makes Nigeria a unique place to live, I haven't spoken about the 36state that make up the country, the metropolitan cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Benin City, and many more, we also have the Fulani herdsmen that send chills to everyone spine, The president and his political cabinet. ***Nigeria is my country and I love my country, I always pray for a better Nigeria, God bless my country and God bless its People.***
