Earing I prepared for African Country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nigeria

'african country' is the definition.
(Nigeria is an example)

'earing i prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'earing'+'i'='earingi'
'earingi' anagrammed gives 'NIGERIA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for nigeria that I've seen before include "African country r" , "W. African country" , "Land in Africa" , "Country bordered by Benin, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon" , "part of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
