Learn The Languages & Cultures of Other Ethnic Groups

Since I am a cataloger, I have decided to "catalog" Internet sites about Nigeria(ns). The purpose of this site is to provide a "one-stop" access to information about Nigeria and Nigerians available on the Internet. This is a selective compilation of sites on the Internet containing relevant information about Nigeria(ns). "Relevant" information to me means that the site linked to should have well researched, accurate and authoritative information about Nigeria and/or her people. There is leniency on comprehensiveness of coverage and timeliness of information or the topic(s) discussed or provided since not many people have the time to keep up with constantly updating their sites.

Please send your comments or suggestions to me.
