There are well-to-do nations around the globe with good amenities and value for their citizens, and although ours seems to have lapsed, I'm in love with it for many reasons. My country, Nigeria, is one of the most blessed nations in the world, and this includes aspects like culture, attire, food, music, and so much more that I'll be talking about below.

Nigeria is a cruise avenue: There are well-to-do nations around the globe with good amenities and value for their citizens, and although ours seems to have lapsed, I'm in love with it for many reasons. My country, Nigeria, is one of the most blessed nations in the world, and this includes aspects like culture, attire, food, music, and so much more that I'll be talking about below.
These have led to many having this popular saying, Naija na cruise
, and that's all thanks to the fact that you can hardly have a dull moment in Nigeria. They joke with different situations, such as president speeches, government policies, hardships, and several others. Believe me, had such a system not been in place in my country, many would have died of depression and anxiety, so for this reason I loved my country.

Cultural Attires: Another reason why I love my country is because of our cultural attire, traditions, and the like. Nigeria is blessed with over 250 different ethnic groups, each with their own culture and traditions. This diversity among our people brings about tourist attractions via dressing, artifacts, and traditions, and one aspect I'm thrilled about is the traditional fabric that I've gone on to fall in love with.
We've got cultural fabrics such as Ofi, Kampala, Lace, Ankara, which is the most popular, and several others. I'm the type who enjoys wearing these fabrics because I see them as my identity and uniqueness, which can help people easily decipher where I'm from. The clothing designs are so beautiful that neighboring countries have also adopted most of them and incorporated them into their own dressing as well.
Music: Last but not least, I'll be talking about Nigerian music. Nigerian music has become so popular that even the western world has become accustomed to it and also vibes along with our top musicians in the genre of afrobeat. Is the most popular African genre that has taken over the globe, and it'll amaze you to know other African countries have now come on board to also sing afrobeat.
Musicians such as WizKid, Davido, Burnaboy, Fireboy, Tiwa Savage, and several others have preached the gospel of Afrobeat across the globe, and it has become a world sensation, whereby these artists were invited to sing in big events such as the World Cup final, the Uefa Champions League final, and others, to mention but a few.
With each of the above-listed points, I'm sure you'll agree with me that Nigeria Is a beautiful place filled with mind-blowing wonders that make you fall in love with it at all times.
