what if they have identical variables in other topics. same gmat, same work experience, etc.

I still think it will depend on uncontrollable variables, such as adcom's mood that day, how many Nigerians have been admitted. If I have to take a pick between the two when everything other than GPA is equal, I would guess diversity may push the applicant to the admit file. Again, this is only if I have to pick between the two.

If the school mainly cares about diversifying the class and increasing international orientation, then diversity may overcome the GPA factor. It all depends on the school's aspirations and goals, i don't think there is a right answer to that question...
