  1. Funny to think how nature finds its way…. if the river has formed westwards, it would end in the atlantic ocean in abiut 200 kilometers. However it decided to go eastwards and the rest is history

  2. There is another river that behaves very much like the Niger. This is the Uruguay River in South America, which rises only 150 kilometres from the sea but nevertheless travels inland to make a 90-degree bend and then flows out to sea after 1700 kilometres and into the Atlantic. Just like the Niger.

  3. 1. the Niger and the Amazon once formed a single river.

    2. The desert section of the Niger shows what the Nile would look like today if it weren't for the titanic efforts of the Egyptians to maintain agricultural land.

  5. Strangely, in English, the river is pronounced N eye dger (emphasis on 1st syllable) while the country is NeeZHER with a emphasis on the zher as in french. Thus, Nigerians are people of NIgeria and not of NeeZHER who are neezherians.

  6. Noubady newer listen the Gadary zo make a many watter chanels for make better end larger food region plus elektricity on weels truu chanels.,tharpt will ruin depend ofvfood prosper the life end rise UP the united Afrika in more lewels UP.,.its still not to late…by Gadafy poan the 50 % of Afrika can be reformed in mutch more green better end safe plase for all….
