Most Nigerian literature is written in [[English language|English]], partly because this language is understood by most Nigerians. Literature in the [[Yoruba language|Yoruba]], [[Hausa language|Hausa]] and [[Igbo language|Igbo]] languages (the three most populous language groups in Nigeria) does exist, however, and in the case of the Hausa, for example, can look back on a centuries-old tradition. With [[Wole Soyinka]], Nigeria can present a [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Prize winner for literature]]. [[Chinua Achebe]] won the prestigious [[Booker Prize]] in 2007 and [[Ben Okri]] in 1991.
