Even though the vast majority of English speakers in Nigeria use it as a second language, there is now a growing number of young Nigerians who speak Nigerian English as a first language. However, this is only in principle because, in practice, English is used as the sole official language in almost all official contexts, including governance, education, mass media, law courts etc. In Nigeria, English is a co-official language alongside three other indigenous languages: Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba. With an estimated 53% of Nigerians speaking a form of English, Nigeria is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world . A former British colony until 1960, Nigeria is one of the six countries that make up English-speaking West Africa (the others being Ghana, The Gambia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and a part of Cameroon).
Nigeria, a country in West Africa, is the most populous Black country in the world, with an estimated population of nearly 220 million people.
