Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and the 9th most populous country in the world. With an estimated population of 150 million, one in every five Africans is a Nigerian.

The country has been undergoing explosive population growth and has one of the highest growth and fertility rates in the world. By UN estimates, Nigeria will be one of the countries responsible for most of the world's total population increase by 2050.

Nigeria is home to four large ethnic groups: Fulani, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba and there are as many as 350 languages spoken across the country.
...

Nigeria has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Petroleum and oil resources plays a large role in the Nigerian economy. The country is the 6th largest producer of petroleum in the world; it is the 8th largest exporter and has the 10th largest proven reserves.

...

In spite of the country’s vast oil wealth, the majority of Nigerians are poor with 71 per cent of the population living on less than one dollar a day and 92 per cent on less than two dollars a day.
....

The 2007 United Nations Human Development Index ranks Nigeria 158 out of 177 countries; this is a significant decrease in its human development rank of 151 in 2004

So, Nigeria's problem is Nigeria's problem. The leadership there needs to get their collective heads out of their collective asses, and (1) give up some of that immense wealth that they're squirreling away in Switzerland, and use it to... yanno... develop their nation, and make it a land worth living in, and (2) provide for protection against rebels. They certainly have enough money to do it.

The AP story is about a group of Muslim savages burning children to death inside a school. And they do it all over the country. Muslim savages called Boko Haram, which means "Western education is sacrilege."

Another pathetic terrorist-loving Signy attempt to divert away from the story here. The AP story is about a group of Muslim savages burning children to death inside a school. And they do it all over the country. Muslim savages called Boko Haram, which means "Western education is sacrilege."
