Isn't Nigeria one of the fastest growing countries in the world right now? I haven't visited but I often watch videos about it (and other upcoming African nations) and it seems like Nigeria is on the path to greatness!

We were up until one former military dictator assumed Presidency in a democratic election in 2015, and all the progress has been erased, plus more.

It was doing well until 2015, then per capita gdp seems to have gone down again to 2010 levels.

It also has the issue that its going to hit 600 million people this century with no way to feed them.
