NaijaMetro’s mission is to focus on and explore the tourism and investment potential of Nigeria. Don’t just complain about the problems . Develop new skills.

We strongly believe Nigeria has the natural and human resources that can make her the envy of the world.

****** NaijaMetro Manifesto *******
1/Be positive: Have a positive attitude about Nigeria, focus on what is good. Be part of the solution.
2/Get Educated: Read more books, watch less TV. Go back to school or study from home. Teach others in your community.
3/ Self-help: Create your own opp

ortunities; don’t wait for others to solve your problems. Take the initiative. Start by doing something, no matter how small.
4/ No enemies: Though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand. There’s no time for “us versus them”.
5/ Be creative: Try a different approach to familiar situations. Think different. Think outside the box, or get a better box.
