Geography

The coastal plain on the Gulf of Guinea consists largely of swampy alluvial land with the Niger Delta in the east. Inland follow plateaus and hilly lands. In the north is the highlands of Bauchi, from which the Josplateau rises to 1780 m above sea level. The Sokoto Plain joins in the extreme northwest, and Nigeria has a small part of Lake Chad in the extreme southeast. The Mandara, Shebshi and Gotel Mountains rise on the border with Cameroon. Here lies the 2,419 m high Chappal Waddi, the highest mountain in Nigeria. Niger and Benue are the main rivers in the country. Check cellphoneexplorer to see Southern Africa Travel Guide.

Nigeria has a tropical climate. The temperatures remain relatively constant over the course of the year. They are 26-29 ° C on the coast and 24-33 ° C in the north. Precipitation decreases rapidly to the north. Only barren dry and thorn savannahs grow here. To the south they merge into wet savannahs with gallery forests along the rivers. In the coastal lowlands there are remnants of tropical rainforests and mangrove swamps.

Oil has been produced in the Niger Delta for decades. Leaking oil contaminates water and soil. The species-rich mangrove swamps in the Niger Delta are therefore massively threatened. Nigeria is also struggling with ecological problems in the north of the country. Here the Sahara desert penetrates ever further south. Therefore, the Sahel zone is planted with a wide strip of forest that uses very little water. In this way, Nigeria is participating in the so-called “Great Green Wall” project to stop the spread of the Sahara ( desertification ).

Population and Religion

With 195.9 million residents (Germany: 83 million) Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. The people belong to around 400 different peoples. The largest groups are the Haussa and Fulbe in the north and the Yoruba and Ibo in the south. There are 400 to 500 different languages ​​in Nigeria. The official language is English. Most of the people in the north are Muslims, while in the south there are mainly Christians and followers of traditional African religions. For a long time, political power lay in the hands of the north, but the economic preponderance was in the south.

Nigeria has a high population growth. The population has almost doubled since 1990. The average age in Nigeria is around 18 years (Germany: around 47 years). A good half of Nigerians live in rural areas. But it is precisely here that doctors are lacking. Infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and the immune deficiency disease AIDS are widespread.

Many people live in great poverty. Women and children are inadequately protected against forced labor and violence. Families and village communities in particular provide social welfare in old age or in the event of illness. Many Nigerians are looking for a better life in the cities or in Europe. Political unrest and attacks by the terrorist organization Boko Haram are also causing many people to leave their homes.

Vegetation

The 1,500 km long coastline is bordered by a 15 to 90 km wide strip of mangrove swamp. It is followed by a 75 to 150 km wide belt of tropical rainforest (with mahogany, sapelli, abachi, wild oil palms, etc.), which is mostly replaced by palm forests in the southeast. To the north, the tropical rainforest turns into moist savannah with tamarind, baobab and carob trees as well as gallery forests on Niger and Benue. The north is occupied by dry savannah, on the extreme northern edge there are thorn bush savannah with acacia in places. The savannas cover about three fifths of the country’s area.
