Niger, also called the Niger officially the Republic of the Niger, is a landlocked country in Western Africa named after the Niger River.

They have 8 regions:
Niamey(capital)
Maradi
Tahoua
Zinder
Agadez
Dosso
Diffa
Gaya

I visited the rural area of Maradi.....it's a village called Kodarogo
This name translated in English simply means "with cassava only" and it got this name when the villagers were digging a well in the village, so famine came and there was severe hunger......the only food remaining as at that time was cassava and so the elders decided that the work should stop since there's no food. But then the youths were saying that even "with cassava only" they can finish the work.

Lemme drop pictures.....
This is the main gate of entering Maradi

Following....

City lights

Main round about

It's decorated with lights that brightens it at night

Their main market.....this market has 6 large gates with over 20,000 shops in it, this is just a side view

I never knew Niger looks this good. Keep 'em coming op

Imagine how porous and unmanned the border between a soiled country by fulanis and Niger is . No wonder the Fulani rulers are planning of add railway to make their influx of blood thirsty terrorists into Nigeria about to be conquered .

This is where most festivals take place.....it's a wide place and that's where they usually celebrate their independence

Calm down, you've not seen the border dear.....it's just a gate u saw that indicates "welcome to Maradi"

You tamper with the border....you're dead

OK

Now, getting to the rural area......this is the road to Kodarogo

These bike riders are experts oo
See desert we were passing through.......for this type of desert trip, you'll need to reduce tire pressure so as to reduce the risk of falling

Nice pictures

It seems Niger is a Desert Area.

My Dad used to visit the place a lot when I was a child, and he used to bring back lots of bush meat from there, or is it smoked meat now? I can't remember.
