Because Swedish is a pitch-accent language, the melody of the word Nigeria differs from the English stress pattern.
Unlike many other country names in Swedish that require a definite article when used with adjectives, Nigeria is often used without one in certain contexts.
While Nigeria is spelled the same as in English, the Swedish pronunciation uses a distinct vowel sound for the 'e' that sounds closer to eh.
