Every traveler’s expectation on arrival at his or her destination is a warm and glad reception from people met. Nigeria is a multi-lingual country and the beauty of the country lies in the unity in diversity of these multi-lingual people.
TravelWithDante wishes to say welcome in the 85 Nigerian languages: Once again … welcome to Nigeria. Come freely and go safely and make sure you leave us with something of the happiness you bring.
