(ANS - Ibadan) - Nigeria is often referred to as "the Giant of Africa," being the continent's most populous country and leading economy; yet, it still remains a giant with feet of clay, with strong internal disparities, widespread poverty, and corruption. Salesian missionary Fr. Riccardo Castellino is someone who knows it inside out: he was among the pioneers of the Salesian presence in the country, arriving there in 1982 and serving for more than 30 years. From 2017 to 2022, in obedience to his superiors, he worked in the Salesian mission in Tappita, Liberia; he returned to Nigeria in September, in Ibadan, and has been there since then. Below, his impressions of the "Giant of Africa" after being away five years.
