3. Nigeria Landforms One of Nigeria’s landform is Zuma Rock located in NiA Federal Capital Territory and city named after Abu Ja, King of the Hausa Kingdom of Zazzau, who founded the original town of Abuja in 1828. It was renamed Suleja in the 1970s when work was under way on a new capital city. Present‐day Abuja is nearby and has been the purpose‐built capital of Nigeria since 1991. Located close to the geographical centre of Nigeria, the new capital was intended to relieve the congestion in the previous coastal capital, Lagos, besides taking advantage of the equable climate and the rough ethnic balance in the area.Nigeria

5. Egypt agriculture Nigeria is very blessed with agricultural resources, and if you remember, this is the reason for the 'green' in the flag. Most parts of the country experience rich soil, and good rainfall, not to mention the warm year-round temperatures. About 80 percent of the land is cultivable, and about 13 percent of the land is forested, and livestock are also maintained by farmers. There are four vegetation belts the coastal mangrove swamps the rain forest the woodland savanna the northern savannas Before Independence in 1960, agriculture was the foundation for the human economy in Nigeria, and Nigeria was self-sufficient in terms of food. However, with the combination of the decline to the agricultural focus with the discovery of oil and industry, and the population growth, Nigeria eventually had to start importing a lot of food. However, after a while, programs started to develop to take the nation back to it's soil, and other areas of agriculture (like forestry and fisheries) have grown in the last decade or more. You can read a little more about this in the economic history section of the site. economic history

6. Extra Information The first inhabitants of what is now Nigeria were thought to have been the Nok people (500 BC –c. AD 200). The Kanuri, Hausa, and Fulani peoples subsequently migrated there. Islam was introduced in the 13th century, and the empire of Kanem controlled the area from the end of the 11th century to the 14th. The Fulani empire ruled the region from the beginning of the 19th century until the British annexed Lagos in 1851 and seized control of the rest of the region by 1886. It formally became the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914. During World War I, native troops of the West African frontier force joined with French forces to defeat the German garrison in Cameroon.

7. What they eat?? 'Fast food' is becoming more popular in Nigeria, but for the most part, most people eat at home (or at a friend's). I'm not sure about other cultures, but in mine, when you cook, you don't cook for just you and your family, you also cook for anyone who may stop by. I do not know how much of the foods and drinks listed below are enjoyed outside of the Yoruba culture. One of my future goals is to have food from other cultures on here, but I would need help with that. (For instance, what is "okpa"?) Of course, the below is not an all-inclusive list of the foods that are available now, or even those that were available the last time I was there...it is just to give an idea of some of the foods available. For meats, we have goat, cow, chicken, turkey, geese, guinea fowls, pigeon, fish, shrimp, crab, other seafood... For fruits and vegetables, we have oranges, bananas, pineapples, tangerines, carrots, watermelons, guava, melons, limes, grape fruits, mangos, apple (NOT like an American apple though...they are tinier, and pink and white in color), peppers, tomatoes, onions, peas, and many other things.future goalshelp with thatFor instance, what is "okpa"?

8. Clothing Nigerians wear a variety of clothes including western clothing and traditional attires. In the North, mostly Nigerian attire is worn to work, but in the South, western clothing is more common. For cultural, ceremonial, semiformal or religious functions, colorful Nigerian outfits are usually preferred. However, many young people still sport western casuals or trendy Nigerian outfits.
