The problem is it makes it hard for me to say anything to a certain poster who does offend some people when he refers to the residents of nearby Nigeria. Niger is directly north and landlocked by the country of Nigeria in the south and the Sahara desert in the north in central/West Africa..
Typical scene of daily life in the country of Niger.
Bustling village of Abalak, Niger at rush hour.
Overall, the issue is not a big deal unless we make it one. I understand why you think the map is comical to some senses of humor given's today's acceptable vernacular in the US.
