We are a community of Nigerians who reside in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa and one of the countries with the highest economic growth. There are about 250 different ethnic groups among the population.
The Hausa and Fulani in the north, the Yoruba in the southwest, and the Igbo in the southeast make up the majority of these ethnic groupings. The Kanuri, Nupe, and Tiv of the north, the Edo of the south, and the Ibibio-Efik and Ijaw of the southeast make up the rest of Nigeria’s ethnic groups. Each ethnic group speaks its own language in addition to English, which is the official language. About half of the population, largely in the north, is Muslim; another 40%, nearly entirely in the south, is Christian; and the rest follow traditional beliefs. Nigeria is governed by the constitution of 1999, as amended. The president, who serves as both head of state and head of government, is popularly elected for a four-year term and is eligible for re-election.
The National Assembly is a bicameral legislature composed of a 109-seat Senate and a 360-seat House of Representatives; all legislators are elected by popular vote for four-year terms. Administratively, the country is divided into 36 states and the federal capital area.
