Nigeria History

Kano is a large city in northern Nigeria that I spent a few days in. There is history to this place as it is the oldest city in West Africa dating back over a 1000 years. One of the things to check out is the dye pits which are apparantly the oldest in Africa. They are still used by men dying cloth with indigo and selling it. There are still remains of the old town walls, I don't know their exact age. And there are a couple high flat hills that give a great panoramic view of the city.

A very hospiyable place to visit, with alot of history, though most of it is undevelop. Nice hotels to lodge, good hang-out joints and alot of traditional delicacies. A predominantly muslim state in the norhtern part of Nigeria, with a population of over 11million. Its also a trade centre dating back to pre-colonial era.

a "small" city, niegrian way that is over 100,000 habs. Nive heritage city near the border. Very nice people, traditionnal music, rich history.
