imagine how great nigeria would have become if this cursed oil was not found on our land. it's quite sad we lost d groundnut pyramid, d cocoa, palm oil, rubber, rice etc. look @ malaysia. a country dat got its first palm seedlings from nigeria, far becoming more developed than nigeria. many of my friends now school there. imagine poor malaysia of yesterday.

It is meant to be a blessing, after all, we are not the only country blessed with such resources.
Our leaders have simply turned it to a curse on the nation.
