Before the trip to Nigeria, the parents had asked their local health department about malaria medications. They were told that antimalarial drugs were available. However, they assumed incorrectly that the drugs were to be taken for treatment only and did not realize that the drugs could ... be used for chemoprophylaxis; therefore, they did not request a prescription. The mother and the three youngest children spent 3 months in Nigeria; the father and the two oldest children stayed 5 weeks. The family visited friends and relatives in various locations of Nigeria (e.g., Abuja, Ilorin, Kano, and Lagos) without taking malaria chemoprophylaxis. During their travel, three of the children (patients 2, 3, and 5) had onset of separate febrile episodes that were treated uneventfully with antibiotics, ibuprofen, and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (Fansidar®), all recommended by a local physician.

Losing in the semi-finals to a favoured Brazilian side that boasted Bebeto, Ronaldo and Rivaldo, 3-1, Nigeria finally woke up in the 78th minute as Victor Ikpeba scored from 20 meters. As time was running out, captain Nwankwo Kanu took center stage, scoring in a scramble in front of the goal in the final minute to equalize. With extra-time barely three minutes out, Kanu fired home the game-winner from 16 meters to complete one of the great comebacks of international football history and in what many observers felt was the greatest Olympic match ever played.

The economy of Nigeria historically was based on agriculture, and more than half of the workforce is still engaged in farming (largely of a subsistence type). The chief crops are sorghum, millet, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, corn, yams, rice, palm products, cacao, and rubber. In addition, poultry, goats, sheep, and cattle are raised. Crop production has fallen in recent years and Nigeria must now import food.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, a number of ex-slaves of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian descent[34] and emigrants from Sierra Leone established communities in Lagos, Ibadan and other regions of Nigeria. Many ex-slaves came to Nigeria following the emancipation of slaves in Latin America. Many of the immigrants, sometimes called Saros (immigrants from Sierra Leone) and Amaro (ex-slaves from Brazil)[35] later became prominent merchants and missionaries in Lagos and Abeokuta.
