Exploring Nigeria: Climate, Economy, Religion, and the Igbo Tribe

This research project delves into Nigeria's diverse landscape, highlighting its tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons and temperatures rarely exceeding 90°F. It examines the challenges of an oil-dependent economy, with over 60% of the population living below the poverty line and high unemployment rates. Furthermore, it explores Nigeria's rich religious tapestry, housing one of the largest Muslim populations globally and a significant Christian community. The project also investigates the Igbo tribe's cultural and social structures, their agricultural practices, and artistic expressions.
