Comment on Total burn on West Africa!
nilclass@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month agoHonestly off the top of my head I wouldn’t know that the Niger is Africa’s third longest river, so I’m glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.
Besides… it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what’s tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"

Yeah, I know the Nile and the Congo, but the Niger just ain’t got enough adventure books about traveling up it. Which makes sense, because as we can see you’ll just be disappointed when you find the source of the Niger.
