== Intro == 

 the introduction states that Nigeria is the world's most populous 'black' country.  true, however and this may seem mundane and not worth mentioning but .. the term 'black' seems loaded and if i may intellectually misleading.  black does not neccessarily mean African.  i havent come across a blacker person than vijay singh, perhaps except john garang - but thats neither here or there.  would 'the world's most populous African nation' not seem more proper?
