Is the Orthodox Church in Nigeria and Zambia? How have they handled liturgical music?

We have parishes in 13 Black African countries, including Nigeria but not Zambia. The Liturgy they use is the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostomos, the same one we use everywhere, and the singing is done in Byzantine chant though usually in the native language of the people.

By the way, I noticed that the priest in Acca, Ghana, a native Ghanaian, has six kids. Apparently the Ghanaians have figured out a way to pay for the wife and kids! :)
