On his blog, Ken Wedding found this clip from the Onion News Network in 2007. I'm posting it here for any of you who feel unsure about anything about Nigeria before we get started next week, know that you are not alone.
I hope you enjoy the humor, and understand that you will be more knowledgeable than most Americans -- at least about one topic by the time we get done
It's a satire of Sunday morning panel discussion shows where the panelists who have no idea what's going on in Nigeria, are expected to carry on a discussion anyway. One of the panelists quickly looks up Niger on his Blackberry and proceeds to describe Nigeria as a country whose economy is dependent on cattle exports. Later, panelists begin to argue about the merits of Nigerian leaders they've never heard of. (The moderator isn't always much more knowledgeable than the panelists.)
