When thinking about Africa, most people think of Egypt or Kenya or South Africa. In fact, Nigeria is known as the "Giant of Africa," with a population of 174 million, making it the most populous country on the African continent. Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the largest in Africa, exceeding US $500 billion, overtaking South Africa, and ranking as the world's 21st largest economy.

A warm welcome to our first Nigerian member, and we hope he will spread the word and encourage other rowers to join from around the African region!
