This is about Nigeria culture,Facts about Nigeria and Nigeria culture Articles the people's way of life. Are you planning on relocating to Nigeria or thinking about spending a holiday in Nigeria? What about having your next Vacation in the famous Cross River Ranch, whatever you are thinking of doing with the people of Nigeria, whether business or you want to rent a home; learn the peoples way of life.

This is an insider tips about the culture of the Nigerian People. The Nigeria culture is one of such that has lasted over hundreds of decades, the country Nigeria is made up of over five hundred different ethnic groups, each of us with our own story to tell. Consisting of three major tribes and many minority whose rights wouldn't yet be violated despite the facts that they are minorities. These 
different ethnic groups or tribes have their own cultural heritage, this culture are often as old as the people, practiced by their fathers and transferred over to them .

Though Nigeria culture, as well as culture of several other people get replaced or changed with time when it becomes too difficult to carry out. In the early nineties, women are allowed to tie wrappers or dress in long gowns or skirt and blouses that runs far beneath their knee, then it was the only dress code called "descent." A woman on trouser is looked up as being irresponsible or seen as someone that would amount to nothing.

But today seventy percent of the ladies dress on trousers to the market and even churches which them was considered abominable, this is what I mean when I say the culture of the people could wear off. Apart from the dress code of women, men are not allowed to leave long heads, or go af far as plaiting or weaving it in any form a man is supposed to mentain a cleanly shaved head at all time while the women may or may not leave their hair.

A woman is considered ripe for marriage from 24-31 after which she is considered a liability in her own father's house.  Though she would still be given her rights as a daughter but she would be treated as a liability in some ways.

Marriage in Nigeria takes a simple form, first the introduction, where the man brings his people to tell the father of the lady that he is interested in his daughter, this facts is often expressed in a traditional way. Often the man people probably his father would stand up - talking to the girl’s father, he would tell a funny story how their son was chasing a squirrel and it ran into that house, that’s is why he called his people to come help him get it.

After the introduction, then comes the traditional marriage followed by the church wedding and and they become man and wife, the court marriage is scarcely viewed as being necessary in Nigeria culture and custom, it is considered not important.

In Nigeria, The woman is expected to take care of the man and his children; the man is considered the owner of the children, while the woman takes care of them, the woman does 90 percent of the domestic works while the man is expected to provide and pay all the bills.

In Nigeria, a president could be voted in as well as the members of the national assemblies, governors, and local government chairmen and their councilors while a man could be given the sole responsibility of ruling a village, town or even a state in partnership with the governor of the state. This kind of kingship is always inherited, not transferable; a royal family is always a royal family.

It is termed absolute right bestowed upon them by the ancestors.

In the northern part the male are supposed to leave the father's house at 18 to 20 to fend for himself and make another family. There are lots of things that are yet not said about Nigeria culture, so much that if all should be written even the web would not contain it.
