Description of Nigerian Names |
With more than 100 million inhabitants, Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation. Early cultures in Nigeria, including the civilizations of the Ibo, Benin, Hausa, and Yoruba, date back to at least 700 B.C., with great cities at Ife, in the Yoruba area and in the country's northern region. Its size and location make Nigeria one of the continent's most diverse countries in terms of ethnic, religious, and cultural composition, which at times produced serious difficulties among the various factions. It is a nation that has produced many great artists, including Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, musician Fela Kuti, and playwright Ken Saro Wiwa Ogoni. |
