Ebola hitting Nigeria would be major problem; the populations of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia are about 21.5 million combined. That's pretty much the population of Lagos itself, and it's densely crowded - for all intents and purposes, Lagos is a megacity, and the Ebola virus would certainly find lots of fresh hosts. It's also an international business hub - lots of people fly in and out of Lagos for business reasons.
