==Colonial Nigeria==

Nigeria was the most populous colony in Africa and one of the most prosperous, and it won its independence in 1960.  But its ethnic diversity led to civil war between the Muslim Hausa-Fulani and the Christian (and animist) [[Ibo]] and [[Yoruba]].  There was tension even within the Christian groups, as Igbo preferred a democratic society while the Yoruba preferred a monarchy.
