SEE THE SHOCKING NATURAL MINERAL RESOURCES FOUND IN NIGERIAN STATES...A WAY OUT OF IT'S RECESSION

Nigeria is a Country found in the Continent of Africa and can be specifically situated in West Africa. It has 36 states and yes its is blessed beyond words, as many countries in some parts of the world does not even have half of what some states in Nigeria has.

Agriculture is also one huge aspect of Nigeria but over the years it has not been well utilized as the country mostly patronize imported goods and embraces services from other countries more than its very own.

With all these I wonder why the country would not fall into its present situation and wonder why the Country has left of these resources to lie here and there and gradually waste away as if the country lacks these resources.

Apart from crude that is found in the south southern part of Nigeria and recently found in one state in the northern part, all other parts are seriously embedded with other tremendous mineral resources. I believe over-exploitation is the order of the day, as the country has been exploited over the years.

It also beats me that some designated parts of the country where resources like Bitumen and co. are found which we all know that it is used for road construction, do not even have well constructed roads.....isn't it appalling?

If true federalism can be practiced, corruption and greed is totally gotten rid off, Nigeria as a country may keep suffering from its present situation and if each local community, states can work with whatever resources that are embedded in it, this blessed country would always emerge tops in the list of countries that have been able to utilize its country's natural resources well.
