Top Most Beautiful Cities In Nigeria
1. Lagos:
This is definitely number one on our list for today and for the sake of this article. Lagos over the years has been the home of all business-minded people.
Lagos state is known as Africa’s “jewel.” It is the most populous city in West Africa, as well as the most productive city in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is called “Lasgidi” by everyone. The odd thing about this state is that it has the smallest landmass. Yet, it houses a lot of people.
Lagos State was established on May 27, 1967, in the western region of Nigeria. It served as Nigeria’s capital until 1991 when it was relocated to Abuja. Although it is no longer the federal capital, it is the nation’s commercial capital. It has more fame than the nation’s capital.
Lagos is blessed with so many beautiful areas and one of the most notable is the Lagos Conservative center.
2. Calabar:
Calabar is located in the south area of Nigeria and was once the capital of Nigeria before it was moved to Lagos. It is definitely one beautiful place to be.
If you want to visit Calabar, we advise you to do that between August to December because you will have the opportunity to witness The Calabar Carnival that is celebrated every year, especially December.
There are so many places to visit like the popular Tinapa and the National Museum which has some of the best art museums in Nigeria. The Tinapa water park is also amazing. The Obudu mountain which was popularly known as the obudu cattle range was turned into a resort in 1949 by Mr Caughley, a Scottish rancher. He returned in 1951 with Mr Hugh Jones, another rancher, and they set out to improve the property. Cross River State government now owns it.
3. Plateau State:
This is one of the most hidden places you will ever think of in the country, yet one of the most beautiful. Plateau is located in the northern area of the country. Far deep in the heart of Nigeria, its cold weather is one that a lot of foreigners love to enjoy.
Today we have one of the best places to vacation in Nigeria with your family or your partner and you won’t even remember that you are in Nigeria. One of the notable places that are very beautiful on the plateau is the National Museum.
Bernard Fagg constructed the Jos Museum in 1952 to facilitate the study of prehistoric Nigeria. Jos Museum, formerly the National Museum, is an important study center into Nigeria’s prehistoric civilization, containing a pottery hall, Nok clay heads, and a museum of traditional Nigerian architecture.
Another place that looks cool in the state is the Rayfield Golf Club. The Rayfield Golf Club, founded in 1913, is one of the country’s oldest golf courses. This is an 18-hole public golf course that draws golfers from all around the world.
4. Port Harcourt:
The city of port Harcourt is one of the most beautiful states in the country and today is still holding the record.
Port Harcourt has very good roads and every street isn’t left out. The state is blessed with enough oil and that is a major source of wealth generation.
5. Benin City:
The British destroyed Benin City and incorporated the monarchy into British Nigeria (which became Nigeria after the country gained independence in 1960).
After it, the monarchy was no longer in charge of West Africa. Even now, the Oba works as a government advisor in Benin City.
Benin over the years has grown to be one of the best cities in Nigeria and performing extremely well in the areas of development and educational development too.
It is one place filled with a lot of relaxation centers and still making waves in other sectors of the state. It is a beautiful place to visit as it has a lot of historical sites.
