Nigeria, one-third larger than Texas and the most populous country in
Africa, is situated on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. Its neighbors are
Benin, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad. The lower course of the Niger River flows
south through the western part of the country into the Gulf of Guinea. Swamps
and mangrove forests border the southern coast; inland are hardwood forests.
