I'm a British English speaker, but I'm not very familiar with Nigerian English; my knowledge being confined to authors like Chinua Achebe. I'll have to look around first and then come back to you. ;-)

These look interesting. (I might even take a closer look at them myself.) There are a surprising number of websites where they discuss both Nigerian and British English. Go to: http://ms101.mysearch.com/jsp/GGmain.jsp?searchfor="Englishes"+British+AND+Nigerian

(What do you think, TDOL?)

A very useful site- just what the person seems to be looking for. Good googling there. ;-)

Thanks. I learned how to do that at the who2.com website. They have a tutorial on web searches there. (Their quizzes are fun. Go to: www.who2.com ).
