Nigeria

Nigeria, home to the ancient Nok, Benin, and Sokoto Caliphate civilisations, gained independence from Britain in 1960. The Biafra civil war (1967-70), successive military coups, and a return to democracy in 1999 mark its political history. Africa's most populous nation, with over 220 million people, Nigeria is a major cultural force through Nollywood and Afrobeats.
