The Niger delta is one of the largest oil production areas in Africa and hence has a big impact on the barrels produced per day in the region.The prices are dependant on the production form this area.

Without communication it would be impossible to develop a country.  You need to know what the needs of the people are and develop accordingly as there is no single formula for development - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Nigeria is most rich in Africa. Why you said? They are well read and always wanting somethings more than the ordinary like a- state-of-the-art kind of thing. They are blessed with everything from economic capabilities, to technological improvements as well as sports to mention a few. if you have a Nigerian friend that is proud of his or her country, they'll tell you better.

The negative effect is that no country can produce everything it needs due to lack of natural resources. So, the standard of living will not be as great. Fewer things to buy and enjoy.

The question of development differs from the issues of corruption and issues of political pressures of political dogma and of arm struggle. All of the above are negative circumstances that will affect development of a country and that of the people. To seek development, one must seek solutions of corruption, political idealism, social struggle and arm conflict. The country can be a ticking time bomb unless the majority of the people come out with collective interest to rebuild the nation. A collective view must stand out against corruption, politics, dogmas, terrorism.  If there is no collective view, the nation will fall apart. The people must strive to rebuild its nation now.

I'm not sure if Lagos is sub saharan, but heres a topic that I used for my Human impact on the environment course last semester. "City-states do not have internal sources of resources causing their average biological footprint to increase dramatically. Although this problem can be dealt with in industrialized nations, will it be possible for third world megalopolous' (like Lagos) to sustain a marginal standard of living?" Thats not verbatim because I can't remember it completely but you hopefully get the idea

Nigeria, a sovereign state?

Years and years of borrowing massive amounts from the IMF and World Bank to build infrastructure (dams, power plants, schools, roads, etc.).  Decades of corrupt regimes that squandered and abscounded with billions upon billions.\n\nOnly recently, are many of these countries starting to get on their feet, but it took a great deal of political turmult to get there.  Uganda, for example, was a complete mess until Amin was overthrown and a new government installed.  They are prospering very nicely now.\n\nOther countries such as Ethopia, have been trashed by drought that killed their farming and rurual communities and plunged the cities into poverty.  That's a real mess.\n\nI could go on and on, but others are waiting.\n\nI hope this gives you some idea.

Africa is very rich in natural resources; however, european countries have claimed these areas for themselves and are mining them and selling all of the resources for their own profit. Gold,diamonds, etc. So, they are being screwed, that's why.\n\nSome of these answers are just ridiculous. They don't trade animals everywhere; Humanity did not leave Africa, that is racist and ridiculous; and they do have development in many areas. Cities in Ghana could be mistaken for NJ. They do not run around wearing animal skin togas in Africa. That's National Geographic shit.

Nature will take care of that problem. Once the Earth's resources are depleted and human population starts to wane then economies will crumble (a healthy economy is built around a growing population), famine and disease will be rampant. At least 80% of the human population will perish.\n\nNow aren't you glad you asked.

To be a target for the locals to kidnap.  My trips to that wonderful country have been busy with trying to find a way around the corruption, in-fighting, threats and keeping your self healthy.  \n\nI would say keeping the production of oil moving and keeping the government Officials well supplied in what they need to keep you operating with out Military interruptions.  The lack of Military presence and sometimes the presences of the military keep the operations from moving.  \n\nNothing in Nigeria works like other society in the world. If you can make a project or operations work there you can go anywhere.

No.  It comes from industrialization.  Most western nations have been industrialized for some time and it generates wealth.  Africa has resources, but have corrupt governments and tribalism that is hampering its ability to industrialize.  You have to get a centralized government that functions and have rules of trade that will allow people to earn profit for a country to industrialize.  Unless that happens, poor nations will stay poor.  It is not the work of the western world keeping them poor.  It is up to them to make it work.

A good place to check would be by going to the UN web site and looking more into Nigeria, its government and social issues. www.un.org
