From the Paper:

"Although the country of Nigeria makes up a good portion of the continent of Africa, it is considered by most geographers and economists as a peripheral country, due to several reasons. First, Nigeria, a federal republic in West Africa, was a British dependency in the early years of the 20th century, meaning that every aspect of the country was controlled by Great Britain. Thus, the modern history of Nigeria is symbolized by gradual and pervading changes related to its economic, industrial and political systems and is without an organized past based on its own subsistence.
