| dc.description | Africa has three mighty rivers all more than 2,500 miles long. In the north the historic Nile flows northward through the deserts of Sudan and Egypt to reach the Mediterranean Sea. In the centre the Congo glides past lush tropical jungle to empty into the Atlantic Ocean. In the west the Niger winds eastward through the hills and valleys and open, tree-studded plains of several countries until it is joined by another large river, the Benue. From there it rolls’ swiftly south towards the Gulf of Guinea. The last land through which the Niger flows, and where it finds the sea, has taken its name from this lovely river. It is Nigeria—one of the four new independent nations of the year 1960. | |
