A lengthy article but a very good summary of the situation in Nigeria. The article focuses upon the disparity between the wealth being produced by the oil industry and the abject poverty that surrounds the source of that wealth.
At least Khadaffi in Libya had the wisdom to spread some of the money around to all of the citizens of the country. Shame the same cannot be said for the Nigerian leadership.
