The biggest tourist destinations are, or
have been, worshipped based on their best qualities, which has ultimately made
them the reason why tourists visit them. This is also how hidden gems around the
world remain as such, hidden and under the radar.
These destinations have
stolen the limelight and have made it into magazines, online travel
destinations and even flights have had a hand in the success of these
destinations as they offer discounted rates to fly to these countries. Nigeria
on the other hand, well the African country has managed to gain a bad rep due
to media coverage that is both biased and uninformed or based on assumptions. According
to residents and tourists, there are some unbelievable misconceptions based on rumours
about residing in Nigeria.
Recreational
Fun
While Nigeria has been labelled as a
country to support the recreational use of modern drugs, the rumours to verify
this have yet to be proven. The truth is that the beauty of the country relies
on recreational activities such as playing rewarding games where you can sign up at NoviBet or find a local
pub and have a draught. Whichever activity you choose to pass your time,
Nigeria has been rated as one of the most beautiful countries to frequent with
high fliers miles and the rumours have been proven true.
Wild
Animals
One of the biggest misconceptions about
Nigeria is that there are wild, untamed and complexly uninhabited animals,
roaming the streets of Nigeria. Although there are wild and indigenous animals
in Nigeria, there aren’t exactly wild zoos in the back of each resident’s
garden.
The Driest
Desert

Nigeria may be based in an
unknown part of the world, but the furthest thing from the truth I that
Nigeria is a desert. The land itself is filled with water, oceanic views and
modernized city attractions.
Scammers or
Business Owners
One of the worst misconceptions about
Nigerians or people who reside in Nigeria, involves a darkened approach about
Nigerian based men and women and how they might have the ability to scam one
another or outsiders.
Nigeria’s
Home Based Language
Another massive misconception which annoys
many and amuses others, is the misconstrued notion regarding Nigerians and the ability
to speak English. The home/official language spoken amongst Nigerians is is English. While visiting abroad, the favourable thing to do would be
to speak in English and use applications to translate rather than assume that
you wouldn’t be able to communicate with the residents of this beautiful
country.
Although there is a bad side to Nigeria,
just as there is to any other county, Nigeria is one of the most
beautiful African countries which has the world of undiscoverable
opportunism waiting to be discovered. Situated in one of the most beautiful
parts of the world, Nigeria is one of the most underrated counties and by far
one of the most accepting that there is. Enjoy all that Africa has to offer without
the bad stigma many assume.
