true.

anonymous · Answer

Nigeria has the potential but not the political will to implement it unfortunately. Its a member of OPEC and has large reserves of oil which could greatly benefit the people. The problem is that the government is notoriously corrupt and inefficient and the population is exploding-it has the highest birthrate in Africa! There is also a Marxist guerrilla force that continues to pressure the government and has repeatedy shut down oil production. Nigeria and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, except South Africa, are doomed to remain mired in poverty and high population rates and rampant corruption.
