Meeting the natives - Yoruba

Fetching for some wild boar, we meet some people who talked a very weird language. After trying to understand them for a while, we found out what their people were called Yoruba. We looked it up in our book, Travellers guide to Nigeria, and discovered that they're actually one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. There's about 30 million of them in all of Africa, and most of them live in Nigeria, and West Africa in general. They've been around for at least twenty-four centuries, and amounts to 21 % of Nigeria's population. The Yoruba people are 60 percent christian, 30 % muslim and 10 % others. They share borders with the Borgu in the northwest, the Nupe and Ebira in the north, the Edo, Esan and Afemai to the southeast.

Arrival

We arrived in Nigeria at 6 am this morning. It was a long flight, but we met som nice women that helped us learn some Nigerian and some other things. We walked for a while, looking for a place to settle down. After walking for about 25 minutes, we decided to risk our lives and head for the jungle. We found a place which suited our needs, and settled down. There was a lovely oasis about 40 feet away from our camp. And the wildlife was just amazing. The songs coming from the birds were sweet enough to melt Chuck Norris' heart. We are looking forward to discovering more of the fantastic nature Nigeria has to offer.

Vetle and Sebastian, checking in.

We haven't been to Nigeria yet.

But we're looking forward to it, because Nigeria sounds really awesome, just look at that cool flag! Hope we won't be eaten by wild creatures.
