Nembe, Nigeria Trip 1998

This was the very first trip my mother and I took to Nembe, Nigeria, journeying to meet up with my husband's family, our inlaws. The only way to get to Nembe is by speedboat, so we chartered one in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, for the one-hour speedboat ride. It is the best way to travel there, many interesting sights and sounds along the way.

A lot of these towns are now accessible by road bit nothing on road can match those beautiful boat trips. I am from Obuama and used to take these same boats from Port Harcourt to Obuama. With the boat you see tha real beauty of Niger Delta.

This is really nice.. I remember the boat trips and the endless exploring I did with my siblings.. In a bid to make us learn the Nembe language, my dad made us spend every Christmas, Easter and summer holiday in Nembe from when I was 2 until I turned 14...It worked but somehow I haven't gone back since 1998..

Thanks for posting this. My dad is from Nembe and I visited there for the first time nearly ten years after your trip. This was great to see- thanks.
