Ingrid Michaelson's song. Quite good. You should listen to it. Doubt you will directly like it though :P
Anyway...
Nigeria (pronounced /naɪˈdʒɪrɪə/), officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a federal constitutional republic comprising thirty-six states and one Federal Capital Territory. The country is located in West Africa and shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north.
The number of languages currently estimated and catalogued in Nigeria is 521. This number includes 510 living languages, two second languages without native speakers and nine extinct languages.
Nigeria (naija) has been called "the heart of African music" because of its role in the development of West African highlife and palm-wine music, which fuses native rhythms with techniques imported from the Congo, Brazil, Cuba and elsewhere.
Like many nations, football is Nigeria's national sport. There is also a local Premier League of football. Nigeria's national football team, known as the Super Eagles, has made the World Cup on three occasions 1994, 1998, and 2002, won the African Cup of Nations in 1980 and 1994, and also hosted the Junior World Cup. They won the gold medal for football in the 1996 Summer Olympics (in which they beat Argentina) and have reached the finals of the U-20 World Championship in 2005.

I know what you're thinking. What have made me wrote this post, anyway? Well, this is just in case a nice stranger approaches you and asks you where the supermarket is, and you brought him there, and during the journey he told you that he was from Nigeria, and you are NOT SURE where Nigeria is. No, I'm not saying you don't know where that is, but you're just not sure.
(And yes, if you thought Nigeria is a country in Africa, you're right. It is in Africa)
Okay, maybe that's silly. This is just for fun. Okay, that would be more silly. lol. Okay, okay, this is just for your "extra" knowledge, then.
Being helpful is not hard. It's somewhat relieving and gave you that tiny little happy tingly feeling inside :)
