The people in Benin are lovely, the food is phenomenal and overall culture is very unique. The "ancient" city of Benin as it's called, is possibly the closest example of a modern day "Wakanda" and it is as large of a city as Dallas Texas, USA but as close net as Ortha Di Atella, Italy.
The history of this City State is embedded in everything they do and the optimism of their future is bright! If you visit Nigeria, 3 cities you must visit are:
(1) Lagos, which is the financial "capital" of the country. (2) Abuja, which is the political capital of the country and (3) Benin, which is the "heart" and educational/cultural "capital" of the country.
