The Nigerian government isn't dealing with the problems they are having with their oil. Huge oil spills, militant groups, and economy crashes are causing chaos.

Nigeria's economy is dropping very fast. The oil spills are still effecting the enviroment. Hunters still going miles to find good water to fish in. They are having problems refining the oil so it has to import it which cuts down profit. Often there are huge power outages and to get oil you have to wait in huge lines called "Epic Gas LInes." This oil problem is not getting any better. If anything its getting worse.
Oil Spills
Shell, a big oil comany, is the main company in Nigeria they is getting the oil. Often there are accidents and there are oil spills that completely destroy the enviroment
MEND
MEND militants are fighting against the government to get them to stop the demand of oil in Nigeria.
