Check Out The Ten Most Beautiful Cities In Nigeria! Your Mindset About Nigeria Is About To Change!

Nigeria is often seen or portrayed as a nation in chaos, probably the reason you haven’t visited is because of what you heard and read about the country. Far from disorderliness and chaotic, Nigeria is actually one of the best places to visit in Africa and for good reasons. Have a look at these pictures of the top 10 most beautiful cities in Nigeria you can visit today for leisure or for business.

Before we proceed to the pictures of top 10 most beautiful cities in Nigeria, I want to use this opportunity to correct some misconceptions about security situation in Nigeria. While Boko Haram actual existed and do lots of damages, the truth is that most of us here in Nigeria reads and sees it only in news just as you do. Among the 36 states in Nigeria, Boko Haram is only operational

in about two states in the far north – Borno and Yobe State. Both States are at the far border to Chad towards Sahara Desert which has been a volatile region over the centuries…

The major difference between what is happening now and what has continue to happen over the centuries in that region is media coverage. Sahara Desert to me has been a death region for several decades. Boko Haram is just a spillover of what has been happening in Sudan, Niger, and Chad for decades and does not represent the identity of Nigeria. So when you plan to visit, avoid the extreme Northern cities of Maiduguri, Yobe, and some parts of Adamawa and Gombe and you will be fine. All the most beautiful cities in Nigeria are completely unaffected.

Most of the Nigerian maps you see online that are painted blood are created by delusional paint artists from the US media organizations who has absolutely no knowledge of what is on ground, only relying on fake reports from lazy reporters who knows the truth but trying to create sensationalism to sell.

See the map above for the true picture of the territories where Boko Haram insurgency can be found in Nigeria and even in those tiny area on the map, the security forces are battling them days and nights. Having said that, we can proceed to view the pictures of some of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria.
