Nigeria is the most prosperous African nation in the region, even with all the corruption, civil conflicts and poverty.

That doesn't speak well of the region. They're also the biggest economy in Africa and will replace the US as third most populous country by 2050 (if there is a 2050).

I’d argue that it’s the stupid and corrupt nigras that make Nigeria ripe for exploitation.
