Nigeria.
Population, coal, iron etc
Nigeria coal mine is tiny. It is nothing more than a small niche, one off mine. Arkansas has better coal reserves than all of Nigeria. Now there is lot of good quality iron ore in Africa. If you want to make iron in Nigeria, you will be doing it with electricity and carbon from natural gas. It is a fairly late development, roughly around 1900 it becomes practical, and by this time, you might as well go for the aluminum which is also becoming practical.
