Appearance
Nigeria is a short, dark caramel skinned young woman. She has silvery-brown eyes, black hair, wears glasses, and is relatively well-endowed, due to being a large agricultural nation.

Personality and Interests
Nigeria is a big-sister-like figure to the rest of the African nations. She is best described as "the person who would get a book off the top shelf for you". But despite her generosity, she is corruptible, and has trouble facing her own problems..

She practices Islam though she sometimes partakes in juju(African magic) she loves literature, jazz/swing music and cinema. She spends most her time either reading books or writing her own. She is very well-educated and has an affinity for folklore and culture. She is obsessed with yams (the cuisine of Nigeria mostly consists of food made from yams), much like how Italy is obsessed with pasta.

She is quite a charmer and is good at convincing people to do things by assuring it will benefit both of them. Ghana once commented on her negotiating skills saying “she can convince the ocean to buy a cup of water”. She’s always laughing and making jokes and takes only a few things seriously.

Though she makes a good amount of money she is very bad at keeping it and will spend it almost as soon as she makes it.

Cameroon and Nigeria have a longstanding rivalry, and consistently bicker about land claims and oil. But the two aren't enemies, and could even be considered friends.
