Psalmbusy/Documenting endangered South South Nigeria food
South South Nigeria has the most diverse food types in Nigeria with over 1000 food cuisines which are going into extinction now due to no proper documentation of them. So this project is set to document all the major South South Nigeria food by taking pictures and videos of them from how it was made till the end product. This would warrant visiting Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers state, Bayelsa, Delta state and Edo state to document this food cuisines and hence have more pictures and videos available on Wikimedia commons. There will also be an edit a thon where all of the collected pictures and videos will be used on the corresponding Wikipedia articles, Wikidata and Wikivoyage.
