Question

Like population below poverty level and things like that. I tried Wikipedia, and only got a few things. I also tried worldfactbook.com. If you have any information on Nigeria, can you tell me or atleast direct me to a site? You get 2 points just for giving me a website URL that has information about Nigeria!

Good Luck!
