Nigeria could be one of the wealthiest nations on earth if they would just stop the corruption. Natural resources (especially oil) are just so abundant, and yet the culture is still steeped in tribalism and corruption is in every aspect of life.
Nigeria could be wealthy. Just like many African countries.
But if you have to worry that your brother, who you just made a general in your army, is going to stage a coup two weeks later and chop your head off, it probably makes for some pretty restless times.
They will never get their act together...it’s Africa.
