Africa also has many ethnic groups and nationalities. These groups have varying qualities, such as language, dishes, greetings, and dances. However, all African peoples share a series of dominant cultural traits which distinguish African Culture from the rest of the world. These values include social, moral, political, economic, and aesthetic values. These contribute to African Culture.

Top 9 Places to Get Affordable Food in Lagos

It’s no news that Lagos, Nigeria, is dotted with several high-end luxury restaurants, the kind where a single meal could honestly buy a plot of land in a small village.
