Nigeria

To some, my story is a testament that good things happen and dreams come true. Although living in the United States my entire life, I’ve noticed optimistic thinking is not universal.

Lagos, known as the African Giant, is one of my favorite cities in the world! The city is home to the third-highest number of millionaires in Africa and the 4th most populous city globally!

I had a frustrating experience getting my tourist visa during my last visit to Nigeria. It involved taking planes, buses, and trains to surprise my family and, most importantly, seeing my 103-year-old grandmother during Christmas.

Nigeria, the African Giant, aka Nollywood nation, is the most populous black nation on earth. Quite frankly, visiting Nigeria should be on everyone’s bucket list. Yea, I said it! While Nigeria is often overlooked for various reasons, you should totally reconsider.
