Nigeria in 56 Chapters (Area Studies)
Nigeria in West Africa has a population of over 200 million and the largest GDP in Africa. Despite complex regional conflict and political instability since independence, it has not fully realized its potential, but its presence as the 'giant of Africa' is set to grow in the global economy.
Amazonで見るNarrow down state/region
Vegetation and elevation- Vegetation varies by location
- Coast: in swamp forests along the coast, there are few roads outside city areas
- Southeast: you may see oil palm plantations
- Southwest
- Central: more grass and low shrubs
- Far north: outside the cities, there is almost no grass

In general it gets drier and has fewer trees toward the north. Plateaus are distributed northeast of Abuja and around Jos (参考文献 Kurowska, Ewa E., Andrzej Czerniak, and Muhammad Lawal Garba. 'Afforestation of transformed savanna and resulting land cover change: a case study of Zaria (Nigeria).' Sustainability 14.3 (2022): 1160.).
Compared to the north, there are more trees and you often cannot see far.
Oil palms are widespread. The light green area in the figure (between Uyo and Onitsha) also appears to have plantations in rural areas.
The Southern Guinea Zone (orange) is covered with grass.
The Sudan Zone (gray) has almost no grass.
Agricultural distribution- Agriculture varies by location
- Oil palms are common along the coast, especially in the southeast
- In the north, millet fields are common, especially around Kaduna
- Data source: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Map images were edited to align sizes.
- It is said the color of the police car lights can help narrow the region(by Geotips ), but it may not be reliable. The surrounding landscape is probably more trustworthy.

Oil palms are only found in coastal areas
Millet is easier to identify at higher image quality . Since Sokoto and Borno have almost no roads, Kaduna (central north) is more likely. In regions with heavy millet production, you may also see dry millet fodder (see image below).
Rice is common in the central area
It is common from central to northern areas, but could appear anywhere away from the coast
