Nigerian "village" In Usa: by ebelegirl(f): 2:09am On Feb 03, 2007
At one of my classes in university we discussed a Nigerian village in South Carolina USA that was said to have been created in an attempt to preserve the Yuroba culture,
Well I went to the site and it appears that this place is nothing more than a tourist attraction that turns African culture into a spectacle for white people. What in the hell were those who had a hand in creating this place thinking? I'm sure there were very selfish motives behind its creation.

just wondering what other Nigerians think about this place.
here is a link to the villages website:
