NIGERIA
Capital: Abuja
Population: 174,507,539
Conventional Name: Federal Republic of Nigeria
Chief of State: President Goodluck Jonathan

There exist several religions in Nigeria, helping to accentuate regional and ethnic distinctions. All religions represented in Nigeria were practiced in every major city in 1990. However, Islam dominated the north and had a number of supporters in the South Western, Yoruba part of the country.

Nigeria has the largest Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa. Protestantism and local syncretic Christianity are also in evidence in Yoruba areas, while Catholicism dominates the Igbo and closely related areas. Both Protestantism and Catholicism dominated in the Ibibio, Annang, and the Efik kiosa lands.
Nigeria, known as "the Giant of Africa", is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world. Its oil reserves have brought great revenues to the country.

Nigeria ain't gonna get better any time soon. It's yet another 3rd world pit hole. Its oil reserves will come to us or Europe...the highest bidder.

Nigeria has an air force? Curtis Jennys or Sopwith Camels? Or perhaps they’ve recently updated to Chance-Vought Corsairs?

“Nigeria has an air force?”

Yes, I found a Nigerian forum several months ago where NAF members were discussing their missiles and planes. They also were discussing atrocities of white farmers being hacked up in SA, and were seemingly sympathetic towards the farmers.
