Nigeria

NGA

Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and largest economy, a cultural powerhouse with one of the world's most entrepreneurial populations and a dynamic diaspora that spans every major global city. Lagos serves as the commercial capital and a thriving hub for technology, entertainment, and finance, while Abuja functions as a planned federal capital with modern infrastructure. The country's rich ethnic diversity — over 250 recognised groups — and vibrant creative industries in music, film (Nollywood), and fashion have given Nigeria an outsized cultural footprint on the global stage.
