This is a poem about Nigeria. Nigeria is a Nation of 521 different tribes and 9 extinct ones (lines 1 & 2). It is the most populous black Nation and one out of every five black Africans is a Nigerian (lines 3, 4 & 5). The first known settlers of the country are those from the NOK tribe (line 6). A town in Nigeria with the name Igbo-Ore is known to have the most twin birth incidence in the world, in fact, at least 4 times more than any other part of the world (line 8) and it also inhabits the most diversified butterflies in the world (line 9). Despite its rich natural & human resources, it is still one of the poorest in the world (lines 11- 15). Hope you enjoy it and feel very free to add more facts about Nigeria.
