Nigeria: Economic and Cultural Hub of West Africa

Located in the south of West Africa, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa (over 210 million people) and has the largest economy, and is known as the "Giant of Africa". The country is rich in natural resources, has some of the largest oil reserves in the world, is a core member of OPEC, and has been promoting economic diversification in recent years, developing agriculture, technology and entertainment industries. The capital city of Abuja and Lagos are the economic centers. Nigeria is a culturally diverse country with more than 250 ethnic groups. English is the official language, while Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken. Nollywood is second only to India's Bollywood in terms of global movie production, and its influence is far-reaching. As a core member of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Nigeria plays a key role in regional affairs, but also faces development issues such as inadequate infrastructure and security challenges.
