No. They are two seperate countries.

I like how people are so unaware of geography that they think Niger is Nigeria. :/ The downfall of education. <3

its not bad education. I'm just pretty sure that when I had to draw africa and all its countries I didn't see Niger.

Well, it's not exactly a very small country (in comparison to Africa's smaller countries), so if you really had to draw all of the countries, it most likely would've been there. On a map, it actually looks bigger than Nigeria, and they border each other. So, I don't see how you could possibly miss it, but whatever. (:

There were these two guys in my history class yesterday who did just such a thing. Except I'm 100% positive they just didn't know how to pronounce it correctly, and so assumed that was the actual way to say it. Awesome.
