Adela Ucar starts her journey through nigeria from Lagos. Begin your journey in the capital of Lagos, an anarchic and electric city with a vital night life. Leaving Lagos, visit the southwest of the country known as ‘Yoruba Land’, once home to one of the most powerful empires on the West African coast. In Oshobogo, the centre of Yoruban art, everything takes a backseat to the massive sculptures and monumental shrine dedicated to the river goddess Osun. Then, stroll through the walled old cities of Zaria, Katsina, and Kano, and hunt for bargains in the ancient Kurmi Market, a maze of alleyways and lanes. The journey ends in the eastern highlands of the country, home to deep wooded valleys, waterfalls, the largest mountain in Nigeria, and where at least four separate gorilla populations have been discovered in recent years.
