Hi,glad you want to join us. To your question, Nikon products are perfect for newbees. NIKON D3100,D60,D90 etc you can get within the range of 80k,90k,100k-180k. Google other beginner friendly cameras and compair.. Just google a particular camera model vs another model to know which to go for. Example: google Nikon D3100 vs D90..The specifications/camera review will enable you decide what to get based on your budget.. I must say here,there are thousands of high tech cameras but better soup nah cash kill am. NIKON is cool.like i said,its beginner friendly with comprehensive easy to understand user manual. See you at the top

There are 2 Major camera Brands for professional photography in Nigera: Canon and Nikon.... And depending on who you ask, they will recommend their favourite.

Asking which is better between Canon and Nikon, is like asking which is better between Toyota and Honda..... The correct question should be: Which is better between The 2016 model of Toyota Camry vs 2016 model of Honda Accord. as the 2 cars are in the same category.... but it would be totally wrong to compare a 2016 Toyota Highlander with a 1999 model of Honda City.

So for Entry level camera for both Nikon and Canon, you want to look at:

Canon Rebel Series: 550d/600d/650d/700d

OR

Nikon D3000 series: D40/D3000/D3100/D3200/D3300

Prices for these entry level (but Professional DSLR Cameras) would range between 80-160k

You can either Look up current prices on Konga or Jumia, but if you like to "hold it before you buy it" there is a dedicated camera market at Aroloya Street, Adeniji Market (just before obalende on the island).
