    Oil may be a curse of sorts, but where would the country be without any oil? They still have a tremendous amount of potential, but a lot of things will need to start changing.

  • Great video! Nigeria has so much potential but sadly corruption is so ingrained in our society. Not just by the elites in the government, but even in every day life. Until that problem is solved, achieving sustainable growth will be extremely difficult.

  • @AlphamanKing
    I was taking this video seriously up until you started showing video footages of Kenya to describe Nigeria. Do you people do research at all? Or you just get AI generated scripts and random stock footages? This is not professional!
