I'm no expert, either, but the second edition of "Atlas of the Great
Caves and Karst of Africa," volume 2, doesn't suggest that there are
many real caves in Nigeria. It lists one sandstone cave 350 m long
(probably the one already mentioned), and that's the longest cave. No
limestone caves

Purely speculative but there are thousands of domiciles mined (dug) out of
mostly soft sandstone cliffs and spires all over northern Africa. Some are
underground and some are extensive. The people that live in them were
called Troglodytes long before cavers appeared on the scene. I suspect one

Actually, that cave is in Anambra state, which is where the
sandstone caves are located. The description in "The Underground
Atlas" even mentioned large chambers, lakes and running water. Sounds
like they did commercialize one of those sandstone caves.

Michael,
While I whole heartedly agree with what you are saying I also believe strongly
that the various agencies don't give a rats ass what cavers think or say. They
are not going to be swayed by logic, reason or evidence that does not conform
to their preconceived ideas.

NCKRI is part of a team working on a new and massively updated World Karst Map.
I just looked at the draft map and it doesn't show any karst in Nigeria.
However, there are some sedimentary units that are mostly sandstone, shale,
etc. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some limestone mixed in th
I have a hard time seeing humans as a significant vector in the spread of
WNS, and have seen no evidence that supports this as a reality, not just a
possibility. This includes the initial jump across the Atlantic. If humans
are a minor factor in the spread then we may expect the disease to run its

I'm certainly no expert, but Middleton & Waltham, "The
Underground Atlas" (1986) says that Nigeria has little surface
limestone and no major karst features. However it also says that
there are some extensive caves in sandstone. Some are apparently
large enough that they were being consi
