If you could tell the world one remarkable thing about Nigerians or Nigeria, what would it be?
The 419Positive Project invites Nigerians & friends of Nigeria to Say Something Positive...
in an ambitious search for four hundred & nineteen positive attributes of Nigerians & Nigeria.
We're also embarking on a journey across Nigeria; to document a selection of attributes in
words, pictures & on video. Add your voice below, who knows, yours might make the final cut!

Nigeria in Photos | Borgu Kingdom

Every week, we’ll post a selection of photographs on Nigeria and Nigerian life. Today, we’re featuring images from the Borgu Kingdom.

Each year, the Emir of the Borgu Kingdom hosts a celebration to mark the end of the month-long Muslim fasting period, Ramadan. The Borgu Kingdom is in Niger State, North Central Nigeria. It is also home to the hydroelectric power plant, Kainji Dam. Bukkie Opebiyi, shares some images from her 2005 visit. More Nigeria in Photos.
