These is a problem that faces many African countries, not just Nigeria. Africa has been blessed abundantly with resources but its countries or rather its people do not enjoy the benefits. The basic need that everyone is entitled to do not get to the people living in rural areas, such as water,sanitation, health care. As the blog says there is a big difference between the rich and the poor. The majority of the people are the poor. Also corruption, lack of infrastructure, bad leadership, and lack of quality education are causes that contribute to today’s problems in Nigeria.

It is mostly knowing how the world functions, and what you are saying is true one has to understand the economic systems in order to bring about change. Economics is about people, giving people the goods and services they deserve and mostly providing the necessities that one needs to survive.
