For more information see the Nigeria profile.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a country in West Africa on the
Gulf of Guinea. It has a diverse topography, with arid savanna,
rainforest, mountains, mangrove
swamps, and the wide delta of the Niger
River. Nigeria became independent from Britain in 1960 and is now
divided into 30 states to accelerate development and to minimize
the impact of ethnic loyalties on national politics. Ethnicity is a
sensitive issue, as Nigeria has 426 ethnic groups. The economy was once
wealthy but collapsed through mismanagement. Nigeria has religious freedom,
but gives preferential treatment to Islam and ignores Muslim persecution
of Christians.
