Which closest country to Nigeria can we find Slovenia embassy?

I don't think Slovenia has an embassy in Nigeria, but you could email their Foreign Ministry to find out the nearest one. They probably arranged for another EU country to handle visas for them, but you need to ask which one.

http://www.mzz.gov.si/en/embassies_diplomatic_missions_and_consulates_general/africa/nigeria/ Don't buy an NSK passport. NSK isn't a real country. It's an art group that issues "passports" as a joke. You can't cross borders, get visas or live in Europe with an NSK passport.

You can read real info about the passport here:

Please ignore anyone claiming to be an "agent" for NSK. They are liars and will just steal your money.

What is Slovenia's history?

in late 19 century and until 1. world war, slovenia was part of big country in central europe called austro-ogrska (this is in slovenia language). After first world war this country fell apart and we were in another country called "kingdom srbs, croatians and slovenians". Yea we had a king. Then came 2. world war, when northeastern side of slovenia was very damaged beacause in city of maribor they were building truck and tanks for german beacuse city was ocupiyed by hitler, so american where druping bombs and city was all in ruins. Very important thing in 2. world war is that in slovenia there was last battle of 2.world war in europe. It was at border crosing with austria called "holmec". After war italy took hole west part of slovenia for them selves and people who lived there were forced to change their names is italians. But today that part is back with slovenia. In late 1980 marshal tito died and around 1990 yugoslavia was beging to fall aapart. On 25 june 1991 slovenia staited that we are independet from yugoslavia and we had big celebration in square in ljubljana. Next day war began. Yugoslav army was actully in military facilities in slovenia already and they just began to driving outside with tanks. Their goal was to drive to the border with austria and italy and block the border. And then they will send army from beograd and we could not run away. But they didnt make it and after 10 days war ended. This was acutally one of shortest war in human histrory(propably in top 10). On 1maj 2004 we became member of europe union and in 2007 we got EURO for valute. Slovenia was till 2008 fastest grouing economy country in europe union, but we were sruck pretty hard by recesy so today we struglle to survive and it seems we gona make it.

Does Slovenia have Halloween?

Slovenia traditionally celebrates the All Hallow's Day (Halloween is actually All Hallow's eve) in a different way then for instance USA. The origins of the holiday are the same, since this is belived to be a day when the dead visit the earth, but in Slovenia, as in many other countries, this is the time to remember the departed and show respects to them. November 1st is a bank holiday, called "The day of rememberance of the dead" and Slovenians traditionaly visit cemetaries on that day to pay their respects. It must be stated that even before capitalism came to Eatern Europe, this holiday was already becomming very commercial and florists and candle makers make huge profit out of it.

In recent years, however, the commercialized American version of Halloween is celebrated more and more often to much dismay of ethnologists. In Slovenia Halloween is called The nigt of the Withces (Noč Čarovnic). The origins of this name are unclear, but possibly it came to the country only trough the cinema. When the first Halloween movie came out, Slovene audience woudl of course not understand it's meaning if it was transleted directly into "All Hallows Eve", so a name "Night of the Witches" was used. This has some loose base in the ethnology, since Central Europe had it's own "Night of the Witches", but that was on Walburga's eve, the night before May 1st. The strange change of it's name had some effect on the way Halloween is celebrated in Slovenia, since it's more about Witches then being a day for a mascerade. Some tourist destination for instance offer "Wizards and Withces" balls.

Slovenia also traditionally has a holiday that is very simmilar to American Halloween. It is Pust (the Carneval) celebrated just bofere the lent period (40 days before Ester - that is in the end of February or begiining of March, depending on the moon cycles). It begins on Saturday and ends on Ahs Wednesday. It is a time of mascerades and trick'or'treating and several different traditional events take place. For instance the demonic "Kurent" processions in Ptuj, or the processions of traditional masks "Laufarji" in Cerkno. It is a time when authority over the country is given to the Carnival prince (called Pust) and people are allowed to be wild and disrespectful to the authority. The celebrations end with Pust being put to trial (on Tuesday) as a culprit for everything that is going wrong in the country. Being found guilty he is traditionally executed (a straw doll is burned for instance) and buried with much protocol on Ash Wednesday.
