I've met a handful of Nigerian students from different parts of the country and they all spoke English as a first language. Also, the US is on there, we don't have an official language either.

I think you've misunderstood me a bit. English is the official language of Nigeria. One of the reasons it's the official language was that it was seen as neutral within Nigeria because it wasn't any group's first language. Or it was at the time, anyway. That was an entire human lifetime ago now, so it's quite possible that things have changed a bit since then.
