As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria is famous for its diverse ethnic groups, each contributing to the rich tapestry of culture and tradition. It's acclaimed for its music – Afrobeat and highlife, as well as its literature, boasting a Nobel laureate in Literature, Wole Soyinka. Nigeria is also home to various UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the Sukur Cultural Landscape and Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove.
