[edit] A few corrections
There used to be a different article here. Why was it changed?
A few corrections need to be made:
- Most of the city is on the left bank, not the right bank. The university is on the right bank, not the left bank.
- A person from Niger is called a Nigerien or a Nigérien, not a Nigerian. This is an important distinction! Niger has an important "French and Nigérien Cultural Centre", not Nigerian.
- The famous tree at the Museum is spelled "Tree of Ténéré" not "Tree of Tenéré".
- Historically peanuts were once important as an export crop, but not many people grow peanuts around Niamey today. The main crop is (and always has been) millet. Rice is also grown in Niamey. But I do not know the statistics or references for what crops are grown or exported today.
[edit] Later
Ok, I've made the changes I mentioned.
