geography is not about location only, u talk about the tribal similarities to the zone attached to it, the political stability of that place in the zone among other beyond your eye factors, and I believe it is better a south south city

Located in the west central part of

to now a major commercial city. The
populace in this area are involved in
all sorts of farming. This town is not
densely populated and it has a blend
of several cultures and life styles.
Minna has some notable tourist sites
to her name amongst which are the
Gurara falls, Baro port (which was
used in the colonial days for
transport), The Wushishi Transway
engine (First railway Locomotive
engine and others like Kainji lake

oh Lord, you're really as d-umb as I thought.

Oga, according to GEOGRAPHY, a subject I'm now sure you have -12 knowledge about, what you d-umb Nigerians call South South is actually the EAST....all these factors you mention are inconsequential.


Jamaica is in North America, but they share more similarities with Africans, by your logic, I suppose North America should really be called Africa huh? Go school abeg
