Stop asslicking foreigners, if they want to come they should, if they don't want to they should stay in their lane.

When coming to Nigeria don't try to discuss politics or religion with its people you might not know this but Nigerians are not open minded and cling to their believes like their lives depend on it "they kill for what they believe".

15 things foreigners need to know before visiting Nigeria

The giant of Africa is often skipped on travel bucket lists but Nigeria is a fascinating country and will probably be the most memorable country you visit. If you know these things, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time!

If you’re up for an experience, Nigeria is the only country of its kind on planet Earth. Most people who have visited this West African nation have described it as an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can explore this country alone but you can also reach out to a tour operator or travel experience manager like TVP Adventures to get the most up-to-date and authentic experience. Nigeria is also often misunderstood or misrepresented so here are answers to some of the most burning questions about visiting Nigeria.

You guys should stop this "giant of Africa" thing.

Giant in what please? The moth that thinks itself a bird. Simply delusional.

Thank you for selling Nigeria in a positive light for once.we need good publicity like this.everyday shouldn't be bokoharam stories,kidnap ,armed robbery,ritualists stories,rape,child rape etc.

Yes Nigeria has its security issues just like any other nation but the media likes to magnify and exaggerate the bad than the good.

Look at America for example. America is not free from problems but they enjoy good publicity that's why the world sees it as an utopian nation of a model when its not exactly perfect as the media portrays it.even Yoruba's say nkan tabani,lan nani.nobody will hype your country for you,you have to do It yourself

Just decided to give you a tip as I can't hit your pm. I looked up your blog and realized 70% of the Images are that of white ladies/foreigners(light-skinned). Now If you're a Nigerian doing business in Nigeria, that's utterly bad.

If you're a foreigner doing business in Nigeria, still that's awfully wrong. Know your audience. There's a lot of things you're doing wrong too.

Have you wondered why your blog doesn't sell?

*This comes with a sincere and caring heart. No hate.

The Senate under Saraki has paid Joshua Dariye his salaries but the NASS staff are hungry.
Dariye is a Senator serving a jail term for corruption while the unpaid NASS workers are not convicts.
While the legality of such payment hasn't been challenged in any court

clap for yourself. The op was advertising his country, you were busy making fun of your president. When the global rating is down and your country is rated low and you have difficulty In getting passport. Blame no one but yourself because buhari won't be there again

Well according to Nganti Ronu,the most important thing foreigners need to know when visiting and especially when visiting the Coneheads brown roof axis,is the need for them to beware of head hunters and harvesters. They should do all that are necessary to protect their heads,thank you.

Everyone speaks English: Well, many people speak fluent English but everyone speaks Pidgin English. Pidgin is a local variant — I would say it is a unique language on its own — that combines local dialects, slang and some English words. No surprise, since English is the official language and most people speak it alongside one or two of 350+ local languages.
A large percentage of Nigerians can't speak pidgin English.

If people were really interested about finding out how beautiful Nigeria is, they would have long ago. There is the internet for a reason.This is a form of subservience to me.

You're obviously talking trash
What is your point?? Stop beating around the bush in myopism, blogging is about reading, it's about data/information/contents and has nothing to do with pictures... Am I reporting live news?? Who says blog sells to the people?? All this Nairaland kiddos sef... I'm sure you know nothing about content management. So I should use black pics for my readers when I'm talking about acne treatment when most readers will be white from different countries?? Are you sane?? In this internet world you still want to target only your country when you can go international ?? OK....are you even aware that even Adsense pays almost two times for these white readers compared to Nigerian traffic that yields zeros

Get informed!!!

Look at somebody Im trying to help. Myopic really?
Look you operate a Beauty blog for females but use white women illustration. Are our skins white? How a make up reacts on a white skin is typically different from a black skin!!! The shades, colour combo, everything. Dont you understand what im driving at?
If you operate your blogs for foreignera, good for you.

But you keep coming on here and shoving it on our faces, we're africans.. Majoritt Nigerians, Hello??

How do you expect me to learn to contour my black face when you used a white woman for your illustration
