And Venezuela remains very underdeveloped with a lot of poor people despite the huge revenue from oil, though the country is under sanctions from US and EU, but corruption under President Nicolas Maduro is largely responsible.

Look at what oil money has done in Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Oil is a blessing to some countries and a curse to others including Nigeria

To think Venezuela has the highest oil reserve and the country is far worse than Nigeria in terms of everything you can imagine is sickening. They should bring Venezuela to Africa where corruption thrives due to bad leadership. Instead of Iran and Iraq to open up so their economy can pick, they choose to invest their time and resources in terrorism. Big ups to Saudi, Kuwait, USA and Canada...

What are you justifying

Majority of these countries use the crude oil for the development of their countries but my naija.......

Our government and blind followers will tell you that because we are not among the first 10 is the reason behind the state of the nation's economy

So indirectly; Oil is either a blessing or a curse.
A blessing to Saudi but a curse to Venezuela and Nigeria
A blessing to the Northern Nigeria but a curse to South South and Niger Delta

Can't wait for EVs and climate control to take over the world by 2030, then Nigeria will know their oil is useless and then go back to agriculture.

Interesting times ahead...

If the United Snakes of Amerika truly has Oil Reserves, she wouldn’t be stealing Crude Oil and Gold Bars from every Continent while killing their leaders.

Fellow Nigerians like to think we are the only ones with natural resources.
United States, Canada have 10x of most natural resources we have. They have 100x more gold, more crude oil, more coal, more copper, more gas etc.

We need to stop focusing on natural resources, but start working on ourselves. Develop skills, and start businesses.
