Ask HN: How do you see Nigeria?

Would love to understand how the friends here see the Nigerian ecosystem, from the economic point of view, political, stability, entrepreneur and education.

Nigeria is a large post-colonial petrostate, assembled via British conquest of a wide variety of indigenous nations from ~140 and ~110 years ago. Between suffering from &quot;far-away white men drew lines on a map&quot; syndrome, various civil wars and coups, and population of almost 1&#x2F;4 billion - it&#x27;s a classic &quot;every possible generality is false&quot; situation.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t advise anyone to count on stability, security, or rule of law in Nigeria...but looking at post-2016 America, I might have similar doubts about my own country.

Big country. Has the potential to be an absolute giant in Africa. Has a lot of smart people and potential for computer technology.

Based on my e-mail they appear to have a sprawling monarchy with poor financial infrastructure
