Nigeria, the hub and cultural nerve-center of Africa, has had its fair share of trials and hardship, but regardless of everything it remains a land of diversity and opportunity. There are a number of interesting and/or funny facts about this great country you probably didn’t know. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 of them.

Nigeria Has One of the Largest Butterfly Diversity

Nigeria has been found to have the most appropriate habitat for a large variety of the world’s butterflies. The areas around Calabar, Cross River State, located in Nigeria’s southern region, is the widely believed home of one of the largest diversity of butterflies.

It’s One of the Oldest Locations of Human Existence

Archaeological evidence shows that the history of human existence in Nigeria dated as far back as 9000 BC. The Nok civilization, which existed around 500 BC – 200 AD, is actually the earliest known civilization in Nigeria.

The Cost of Living in Abuja is Well Beyond the Average Professional’s Wages

This is more pathetic than funny really, but it’s the sad truth. Since the 1990s, the cost of living in Abuja is above what an average professional can afford. This thus makes living in the state quite difficult. However, to ease the burden, young professionals would typically live as ‘housemates’ in the same apartment, sharing the cost of rent in equal parts to ease some of the burden.

Nigeria is Home to the Happiest and Most Optimistic People in the World

This really isn’t surprising but it’s an interesting fact nonetheless. According to the World Happiness Report 2017 produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), a global initiative of the United Nations, Nigeria ranks as Africa’s sixth happiest people. The truth is, it might not seem like Nigerians have anything to be happy about but our choosing to be happy and rejoice as we go about our daily hustle regardless of anything, is much healthier than wallowing in depression and despair for the state of things.

MadCow1:
I am sure you haven't forgotten about the doctor that jumped from Third Mainland Bridge so soon.

Or the countless other stories of people hanging themselves. Or the ones drinking sniper.

Like I said, there is not a single shred of reliable statistics to verify this claim. For something to be considered fact, there must be proof.

But if we are just throwing around opinions, then here is mine; Nigerians are the most frustrated and miserable people in world who have grown tired of their situation and lack the will to do anything to change it so they have settled and accepted their fate.

20CRATES:
A doctor jumped from 3rdMB so?
Do you know how many psychopathic and suicidal doctors are in countries of the developed world?
You are only judging based on the limits of what i within your scope of reasoning.

MadCow1:
First of all do well to follow the entire comment sequence before joining in. That post is a response in a trail of posts between myself and that gentleman.

20CRATES:
No, the post was a direct response to my initial comment on page 0.
And I replied you accordingly. I am the one you quoted.

nemynely:
I really don't know where and how you came about your first three assertions, but I would readily contest the fourth - people in Nigeria seem happy but it's all delusional or some form of hypnosis. If not, pray tell, why should anyone be happy with the no power(1 day on, 6 days off - even the one day on culminates in only a total paltry 6 hours!), no money(mass retrenchment, no salary increase, delay in paying salaries, salary deductions), no education(schools closed for months), no social security (expensive healthcare, high accommodation rentage etc), no middle class, no future (corruption has blown away our common patrimonial savings, pensions etc),& no truth (religious houses just peddle all sorts of lies like - it is well{wen obviously all is not well} etc)
Rite now, Nigerians are really depressed but lack the requisite expression. Something we call blunt/inordinate affect in psychiatry!

ExpensiveG:
Wetin we wan use BUTTERFLY do


Upon say we get large number of butterflies, I never see person wey go play with any of them.

OP...what do you mean by that last point... #that's a joke right

The world tempts us to hoard money or to spend it all on ourselves. But scripture teaches us to be generous by giving to those who are in need.

It seems you are high on weed or something must be wrong somewhere

zicoraads:
You go school. Who butterfly epp? Researchers and tourism bawo? In a country where foreigners are constantly being warned to be vigilant when visiting? A place where there are so many research institutes that have been cut off funds or someone somewhere is eating up all the allocated funds? Or na butterfly wey dey fly about the oyinbos want come see?

Forgerrit! This things listed here are bullocks.
