Nigeria And South Africa

Nigeria and South Africa have had numerous troubles all through history, but they are currently employed to make peace and improvement.

Militants in the Niger River delta, protesting the massive poverty amidst resource wealth, have attacked pipelines and kidnapped workers. Nigeria's natural resources include natural gas, petroleum, tin, metal ore, coal, limestone, niobium, lead, and zinc. Industry remains focused on oil, which accounts for 20 percent of the Gross Domestic Product, 95 percent of foreign exchange earnings, and around 65 percent of government revenues.
