Wow.
It's lovely to see these kind of places still exist, this was how we used to live before the first colonizers came through. Everything was easier and peaceful.
These kinds of settlements are hard to come by these days, even my mom's villages now have brick houses and tar roads.
That's not totally true. There were some large cities already in West Africa pre-colonial period. Look up Ile-Ife and Benin in present day Nigeria. There was also Nok, Timbuktu and Sokoto, all with mud-brick structures and stone paved roads.
Thank you for pointing that out, I must have generalized the whole thing.
I want to visit Benin, heard it's really nice!
I see, where are you based?
Port Harcourt, Rivers State/Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
I left a comment on your other post about transportation in West Africa.
That's a beautiful part of the world @tudors I've seen some photos of Akwa Ibom and it looks amazing!
