Nigerians are wonderful and fascinating people. Regardless of how people generally criticize their nation, there are many things they are recognized for that they would not swap for other foreign customs. If you haven't already noticed some of the things Nigerians are enthusiastic about, start now by reading this essay. Technology. The Nigerian people are very innovative and they enjoy experimenting with new technologies. From YouTube to WhatsApp, the Nigerian people have been early adopters of these new ways of communicating. Music. Dance halls, cinema houses, and stadium concerts: music is a vital part of any social gathering in Nigeria. Whether it be high-quality albums or popular songs, everyone knows what's going on through the microphone at all times. Music is also an important element in religious ceremonies; Christian churches use music extensively during services while mosques often include a call to prayer followed by the beating of drums. Football (or soccer as most people call it). Soccer is one of the most popular sports in Nigeria and people enjoy talking about matches and tournaments. There are national teams that do very well in international competitions and others that don't do so so well but that doesn't diminish the passion that fans have for the game. Basketball. Although basketball is more popular in America and Europe, it has yet to take off in Nigeria. But since it's introduction into the country in 1995, it has become a major sport here, especially among young people.
