The country's film industry, known as Nollywood, is one of the largest film producers in the world, second only to India's Bollywood.
Nigeria is home to Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa. Dangote's business interests in agriculture, banking, cement, manufacturing, salt and sugar have earned his net worth of more than $12 billion.
While the agricultural industry accounts for approximately 70 percent of the country's employment, petroleum products are the primary export—accounting for more than 90 percent of Nigeria's exports.
Social Media is very popular in Nigeria
As one of the most industrialized African countries, perhaps this is not one of the most surprising facts about Nigeria, nonetheless, it’s interesting. About 75% of the total population uses social media on a regular basis. What’s unique for the Nigerian population is that the majority uses a smartphone rather than a computer or laptop.
