Land I regain somehow (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nigeria

'land' is the definition.
(I know that Nigeria is a African country)

'i regain somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'regain'='iregain'
'iregain' anagrammed gives 'NIGERIA'.

(Other definitions for nigeria that I've seen before include "Republic in West Africa" , "part of Africa" , "African republic, capital Abuja" , "African country, capital Abuja" , "West African republic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
