Palin - "So, are you British Nigerian?" (Since he hears a British accent)

Nigerian (with British accent) In Polo Club - "No, I am Nigerian Nigerian"

If anyone were to traverse the length and breadth of Nigeria, you just might be travelling through many nations within this ONE COUNTRY. From the shores of the Atlantic Gulf of Guinea and the Bight of Biafra, the mangrove swamps, rivers, and tributaries of the Niger Delta will usher one into the Equatorial rainforest which expands from the South East to the South West. Heading Northward, both the Guinea and Sudan Savannas begin the Middle Belt region also known as the FOOD BASKET of Nigeria. The Jos Plateau elevates the landscape to over 3, 000 metres above sea level which introduces a sort of montane climate and vegetation which is cooler relative to the humid and hot South, as well as the dry and hot North. The Adamawa Plateau is further North of the Jos Plateau, both of which form the highest peaks in Nigeria.
Beyond these peaks are the Sahel Savanna and the fringes of the Sahara Desert where nomadic cattle herders migrate Southwards with their herds of cattle to find grazing lands. All the thousands of tribes and ethnicities in this country have a diversity of cultures and tongues which contributes to the vibrance and wealth of Nigeria.
