No Nigeria for English? Lagos is the largest English speaking city in the world.

I don't think this image accounts for second languages (otherwise Hindi would be twice as big), and as I understand it the reason that English is the official languae of Nigeria even as an independent country is so as not to give anyone's first language priority over any other

It does specify these are first languages/mother tongues. I think English would also be much larger if it included second languages.
