Nigerians are known for their friendliness, ambition, and tenacity. This volume introduces readers to Nigeria's vibrant culture and rich history through full-color photographs, detailed maps, and enlightening fact boxes. A glossary of new terms also helps students gain a deeper understanding of the topics addressed.
