I'm going to assume that this was just you screwing around since you haven't shown any leanings toward racism in the years you've been here.Banging on the drums . . . wearing a tutu . . . and talking with a bone through a nose . . . er . . .no fucking chance!!!!!
Nigeria is a nation blessed with abundant resources. It is on record that one of its past leaders was quoted as saying "that the nation has too much money" so he invested it into other African nations. My question is that could this nation have become a world power after its civil war
Well, perhaps we can have the Soviets penetrate deeper into Africa, thus leading the US to funnel aid and support into Nigeria like it did with the regime in Taipei and ROK.It already IS a regional power.
To be more than that, they'd have to invest far more in infrastructure, rule of law, education, ....
I rather imagine it might be theoretically possible, but I suspect you'd need a PoD before WWII where Britain built more infrastructure (especially schools) in her colonies, to give them a better running start after independence.
I suspect mere money isn't going to do it. They already had/have a fair bit of oil-wealth. It's how to spend the money you have that makes the biggest difference, IMO. And I suspect that US support might be counterproductive to that (compare Banana Republics in Latin America...)Well, perhaps we can have the Soviets penetrate deeper into Africa, thus leading the US to funnel aid and support into Nigeria like it did with the regime in Taipei and ROK.
