Nigeria is commonly refered to as the 'Giant of Africa' in terms of its abundant resources and blossoming economy; it is the second largest in Africa (37th largest in the world) and it is predicted that it will overtake South Africa in the not too distant future. It is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh in the world. Although Abuja is the capital the largest city is Lagos; the country is mainly comprises of Christian and Muslim citizens, over 57 million. The country enjoys an appealing coastline and a dramatic interior of mountainscapes, jungles and grassland. Nigeria is not for everyone and as with any unfamiliar foreign country safety and security should be a priority to allow for a peaceful and trouble free social and professional life. Independent research is a must before considering a move to Africa.
