Lagos is the most populous city with between 10 and 15 million people. It is considered the second largest city in Africa. It is no longer the capitol of Nigeria; that would be Abuja, which is much less populous. Although it is a planned city, Abuja would seem to be the culturally richer of the two cities.

I am most insulted by the one answer that says my country, my home is made up. The current US ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, Roy Austin,  most ironically has some roots in Trinidad & Tobago.\nThe largest single exporter of natural gas and asphalt to the US is in fact Trinidad and Tobago.\nMiss Universe 1976 and the first woman of African heritage to take that crown, is from Trinidad and Tobago, Penny Commisiong-Chow.\nMiss World, 1986, Trinidad and Tobago, Giselle La Ronde West.\nMiss Universe 1998, Trinidad and Tobago, Wendy Fitzwilliam.\nFounder and brainchild of the the International Criminal Court, Trinidad and Tobago, His Excellency, Arthur N.R. Robinson.\nThe smallest country, with a population of just over 1.2 million, to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.\nThe inventor of the only musical instrument of the 20th century, the steelpan.\nThe inventor and "MECCA" of Carnival.\nI think I'll stop there.\nSorry people, I gotta add some more:\nHeather Headley, thats right, she is from Trinidad and Tobago, Tony Award for actress for Lead Role in Broadway's Aida.\nBrian Charles Lara, for those of us who know about cricket, 501 not-out in first-class cricket with Warwickshire vs Durham in Edgbaston Birmingham UK June 1998, just one of his  records.\nThe 2001 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Trinidad and Tobago, Sir V.S. Naipaul.\nThis is my final edit. George Bovell III, World Record Holder, 200m individual medley, swimming.\nAnd thank you "lilimac" for that sterling response.

Well, I'll admit my knowledge of West Africa isn't exactly top-notch, but my first thought when I hear Nigeria is the 419 email scheme. (See source for more info.) Not exactly a great PR booster.
