Don't just see the sights―get to know the people.

Nigeria, Africa’s most
populous country, is a nation of striking contrasts and remarkable diversity.
Home to over 250 distinct ethno-linguistic groups, its landscapes range from
sandy beaches and tropical jungles to vast plains, rugged mountains, and
deserts—enough to captivate even the most adventurous explorers. But what about
the people who live here?



While Nigeria’s
population is vastly diverse, common threads of tradition and community unite. Ancient customs and codes of conduct influence daily life, making familiarity
with local beliefs, values, and etiquette crucial for anyone who wants to
understand and get to know Nigerians on their terms.



This updated edition of Culture Smart!
Nigeria delves into the key historical events that have shaped the beliefs and
attitudes that you will encounter, and offers insights into the traditions and
rites of passage that you might experience and take part in as a visitor. There
is advice on how to get around, how to socialize and communicate, and how to
approach doing business. Familiarize yourself with the Nigerian way of life and
your journey through this dynamic country will be deeply enriched.

Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
