Jameela ohunene I must commend, you had a very exact imagery depiction of the question Why is Nigeria rich in oil but poor in general, and how can this problem be solved?
To answer your questions, for the matter of fact, Nigerian government had been accused of oil wasteage. Let take for instance, the gas which Nigerian government saw been flaring since Nigerian independent. What do you think if would be the reaction if the problem was to European or American government? They would conserve it be use for good, right? But no way did Nigerian government had ideas, they are so critically paralysed in decision-making so.much that prevent them from the good thought of pipping the gas to domestic manufacturers, and be used in generating stable power supply.
