Hello. Can you give me some information about Niger? I've never heard of it. 
 Certainly. Niger is a country in western Africa. Would you like to know about Niger History? 
 Yes that would be great. 
 Excellent! On December 18th, 1958 the head counsel of Ministers of the Republic of Niger, Hamani Diori Officially created the Republic of Niger. Niger's history of colonial development runs parallel to that of other French Western African territories. 
 That's great stuff. Tell me more please. 
 Of course. Niger decided to leave the French Community on July 11th, 1960. They acquired full independence with Dori as its first President on August 3rd, 1960. 
 Hey that's cool! Can you tell me something about their economy now? 
 Sure. Niger shares a common currency, the CFA franc, as well as a common central bank, called the Central Bank of West African States. There are also even other members of the West African Monetary Union. 
 I've heard of the franc but not the CFA franc. Interesting. What else can you tell me? 
 Unfortunately, I don't have any more information on Niger's economy. Would you like to know about Niger's geography? 
 Sure that would be great. 
 Niger is landlocked, meaning it has no coastline, however, it is surrounded by other countries including Algeria and Libya to the north, Nigeria and Benin to the south, Chad to the east, and Burkina Faso and Mali to the west. 
 That's fascinating. Thanks for all of this great information on a country that I didn't know about. I feel smarter. :) Have a great night! 
 You are very welcome!
