from the ask-hn dept.

Would love to understand how the friends here see the Nigerian ecosystem, from the economic point of view, political, stability, entrepreneur and education.

Big country. Has the potential to be an absolute giant in Africa. Has a lot of smart people and potential for computer technology.

Based on my e-mail they appear to have a sprawling monarchy with poor financial infrastructure

Nigeria is a large post-colonial petrostate, assembled via British conquest of a wide variety of indigenous nations from ~140 and ~110 years ago. Between suffering from "far-away white men drew lines on a map" syndrome, various civil wars and coups, and population of almost 1/4 billion - it's a classic "every possible generality is false" situation.

I wouldn't advise anyone to count on stability, security, or rule of law in Nigeria...but looking at post-2016 America, I might have similar doubts about my own country.
