Crossing River Niger Using Canoe by collynzo2(m): 11:24pm On May 26, 2013
This was in July 2012, during my youth service in Patigi, kwara State. We were traveling from Patigi to Niger state through River Niger/kaduna. There is a ferry service that helps in crossing people within ten minutes to where they can get a bike or car to continue the journey, but I decided to go directly with canoe, it took 3 hours. Risky, I know but fun too!

It was really great, the videos don't even come close to showcasing it. There is a point where River Niger/Kaduna meets, you could clearly see the difference between the two Rivers, for some reasons unknown to me, they don't mix.
