CNN is not for Nigeria's good and will never promote Nigeria. If and when it seems so it is that America is gaining advantage over Nigeria. The error is not surprising!

Geographically, Nigeria is in the North of the African continent. In reality this is the non political map of North africa


**** Use this compass to point out the North, South, East and West in that map of Africa you placed up there and then tell me if you still think Nigeria is in North Africa. The most we could say is Nigeria is located in Central Africa and even then you would be wrong to some extent but saying Nigeria is in North Africa, is this another one of your Usman Danfodio agenda?

Well Op, there's nothing special about this. I think it's more of a case of climate change. Perhaps, Nigeria has shifted to North Africa. And my hope and prayer is that someday we shift out of Africa to maybe London or America.

The world climate has changed which is now leading to different weather conditions and even relocation of nations.

CNN's misleading projection on Africa often reflects America's naivety when it comes to African affairs.

They don't have real interest/knowledge in Africa and often rely on the UK for deep analysis

The joke is on you .

If you say Nigeria is in North Africa then that means Africa as a whole is a continent without a Western part. Look at the Compass AGAIN, then look at the Map of Africa and tell me if you still think Nigeria is located in North Africa. Dummy.

Bro, cool down, he specifically stated "geographically" meaning he's looking at it from the location of the equator. Africa is divided into 2 parts "geographically", and 4 parts " politically".So geographically Nigeria is in the northern half of Africa undecided

This is what i wanted to say... Divide Africa into 2 and Nigeria goes to Northern Africa.
But then, our people usually grab irrelevant issues.
.They made a Mistake and you're here trying to find Logic in it
Divide Africa into 2 (West and East) and Algeria goes to the West. So we can call Algeria a West African country right? Smh
Re: CNN Refers To Nigeria As A North African Country by Nobody: 10:03am On Jan 30, 2016
I was gonna get pissed but then realized that technically Nigeria is indeed in the Northern part of Africa, albeit WEST! We are above the upper half Africa! Oh well! who gives a phuck what CNN thinks, afterall its just a news network that originates from the most technically advanced nation on earth smiley!

You are speaking utter rubbish. What does climate change has to do with geographical location of Nigeria?
You better go and demand for a refund of your fees in school as your education obviously was of inferior quality.
