[M]The British created administrative[/M] and legal [M]structures[/M], [M]maintaining traditional chiefdoms.[/M]
Nigeria [niˈgeːʁi̯a] (officially English Federal Republic of Nigeria [naɪ̯ˈdʒɪ (ə) ɹɪ̯ə], Federal Republic of Nigeria, obsolete Nigeria) is a federal state in West Africa. With over 200 million inhabitants (2018) it is by far the most populous country in Africa and the country with the seventh largest population worldwide. Between 1989 and 2019, the country's population doubled. Nigeria borders the Atlantic Ocean and the countries of Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The capital of the country is Abuja, its largest city by far is Lagos with around 22 million inhabitants. Other megacities are Ibadan, Benin City, Kano, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. The country was home to numerous states and kingdoms in pre-colonial times. The current state is based on the drawing of the border by the British when they colonized Nigeria in the 19th century. In 1960 Nigeria became independent and, after a civil war from 1967 to 1970, switched between democratically elected governments and military governments for decades. In 1999 Nigeria was democratized again, although the elections from the 2010s onwards are classified as halfway fair.

Nigeria [niˈgeːʁi̯a] (officially English Federal Republic of Nigeria [naɪ̯ˈdʒɪ (ə) ɹɪ̯ə], Federal Republic of Nigeria, obsolete Nigeria) is a federal state in West Africa. With over 200 million inhabitants (2018) it is by far the most populous country in Africa and the country with the seventh largest population worldwide. Between 1989 and 2019, the country's population doubled. Nigeria borders the Atlantic Ocean and the countries of Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The capital of the country is Abuja, its largest city by far is Lagos with around 22 million inhabitants. Other megacities are Ibadan, Benin City, Kano, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. The country was home to numerous states and kingdoms in pre-colonial times. The current state is based on the drawing of the border by the British when they colonized Nigeria in the 19th century. In 1960 Nigeria became independent and, after a civil war from 1967 to 1970, switched between democratically elected governments and military governments for decades. In 1999 Nigeria was democratized again, although the elections from the 2010s onwards are classified as halfway fair.

Claire Elise Boucher (Vancouver, March 17, 1988), better known by her stage name Grimes, is a Canadian music artist and music video director. Grimes began recording experimental music while studying at McGill University in Montreal, where she became involved with the underground electronic and industrial music scene. In 2010 she released her debut album "Geidi Primes" through Arbutus Records (based in Montreal, Québec), followed by her album "Halfaxa" (2010), both recorded and produced entirely on Apple's music production program, GarageBand. In 2011, Grimes released the EP "Darkbloom", in partnership with artist d'Eon. At the end of the same year, she announced that she had signed with record label 4AD, which, in partnership with record label Arbutus, released her third album, "Visions" (2012). Made in two weeks with minimal equipment, this was critically acclaimed and rated by The New York Times as "one of the most impressive albums of the year so far." In December 2013, Grimes announced his signing to the label Roc Nation. Grimes' music has been noted by critics and journalists for its atypical combination of vocal elements, as well as a wide variety of influences, ranging from industrial and electronic to pop, hip hop, R&B, noise rock and even medieval music. It gained popularity on the internet around the release of its third studio album "Visions", which attracted thousands of tumblr users.
