The north of the country is threatened by desertification. Some party of the state are drying out and those are the consequences of climate change.

When I hear the word Nigeria I think about colored (black) people living in africa under miserable health conditions. I think that the daily life there is characterized by poverty and hard work, which especially is made by young children who have no better perspective in life. I also think about the wildlife and many different species of animals.
