Nigeria is a major country on Africa’s western Atlantic coast, known for its vast population, cultural diversity, and economic weight on the continent. Abuja serves as the federal capital, while Lagos remains the nation’s commercial and industrial powerhouse. Formed in 1914 through the merger of British-administered territories, Nigeria gained independence in 1960 and later became a federal republic. The country is home to hundreds of ethnic groups and languages, with Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo as the largest communities, and English as the official language. Nigeria’s landscape ranges from coastal wetlands and rainforests to savannas and semi-arid regions in the north. Rich in petroleum and natural gas, it plays a central role in Africa’s energy sector, though challenges such as governance issues, regional insecurity, and economic inequality persist. The national flag, green-white-green, reflects agricultural wealth and aspirations for unity.
