It seems to me that most Nigerians know more about what's going in on the US or Europe (maybe thanks to the pervasiveness of CNN and other Western news media outlets in Nigeria) than what is going on in other parts Africa.
But I'm a person that likes to put my assumptions to the test, so...
...without looking this up on the internet, can you tell me off the top of your heads what are the big news stories in any five countries on the African continent?
Bonus marks if any of those countries are Nigeria's neighbours (Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon).
