   Britain colonized, as they do, and created Nigeria combining ~300 minor tribes, ~30 bigger tribes, and ~3 main tribes. The biggest are: Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa/Fulani.

   The North of Nigeria touches the Sahara. The South is close to the equator. Think of Nigeria as transitioning between 2 climate zones: The North, which is like California/Arizona weather, and the South, which is Florida / Georgia weather.

   Much of Nigeria's oil deposits are under Igbo + Delta land.
