Nigeria is made up of many religious institutes and has a lot of religious beliefs. One religious institution is Caritas University in Nigeria (Medical University of the Americas. High USMLE Scores, US Residency). A cultural attraction a visitor must see would have to be the Sungbo’s Eredo – Nigeria’s Hidden Wonder. Nigerian masks are these large wooden masks that are part of the animist faith of the Yoruba people, which pre-dates Christianity in the country. The masks often are painted, and believers wear them at funerals and other ceremonies to appease the spirits.
