Nigeria
Nigeria is West Africa's most populous country, a place where Sahel scrubland in the north gives way to tropical rainforest and a busy Atlantic coastline in the south. Lagos hums with commerce and noise around the clock, while cities like Kano preserve centuries-old trade and Islamic scholarship. Afrobeats drifts from open windows almost everywhere.
About Nigeria
Overview
Situated in West Africa, Nigeria borders Benin, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, with a southern coastline on the Gulf of Guinea. Abuja is the planned federal capital, though Lagos remains the economic and cultural engine. English is the official language, with Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo spoken widely. The naira is the national currency. With over 250 ethnic groups, the country's cultural identity is layered and contested in equal measure.
