“Africa, my Africa,
Africa of proud warriors
Of ancestral savannahs’,

Much has been written and said about Africa, within Europe and the Americas. From the outright outrageous to the downright obnoxious, you do not have to settle for versions. See and feel Africa yourself.
Africa opens her door through Nigeria! The most populous black nation, with a population of 113,828,587 (July 1999 estimate). A land of copious and diverse cultures.
For a thorough cultural grasp of Nigeria, welcome to the “Big Heart”- Delta State, a land of a thousand dances. Delta state is one of the thirty six (36) States that make up the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Deltans, as true Africans, are naturally friendly and hospitable.
