Culture:

Social customs- Whether in urban or rural areas, the family is the central institution. Families gather to celebrate births and weddings.  Funerals for non-Muslims are often delayed for a month or more to allow all the family members to make plans to return home. The rison is because so many Nigerians live outside the country.

Food- Food is an important part of Nigerian life. Seafood, beef, and goat are the primary sources of protein.Because of the many different cultures and regions, food can vary greatly. In the southern areas a variety of soups containing a base of tomatoes, onions, red pepper, and palm oil are prepared with vegetables such as okra and meat or fish. 

Art- Nigeria has a rich artistic variety, including  traditional and contemporary art forms as well. From the naturalistic statues produced at Ife to the bronzes made for the king of Benin, Nigerians have crafted art wich is world famous. The terra-cotta figurines of the Nok are some of the earliest statues in existence from sub-Saharan Africa. Ekpe masks and ikenga from the Igbo in eastern Nigeria and ibeji sculptures from the Yoruba in western Nigeria are just three examples of the art produced in pre-colonial Nigeria.
