#3 Nigerians are enigmatic, to say the least. Their country's biggest problem is corruption, but when they can overcome that, the world opens up to them.

They have a lot of highly educated people, a pretty powerful army, oil, and pretty advanced technology by African standards.

If they can just get over corruption, which is like a vampire to their prosperity.

#4 I'm a little surprised, I thought most the White Zim farmers had gone to either Zambia or Mozambique. I would have thought that if =I= knew about Nigerian corruption, they certainly would.

#6 Lots of white Zim farmers in Uganda as well - the de facto President for Life of the country was the one that did the inviting and so they are left alone by the local politicians. Uganda is now in the position to export grain after just a few years of the Zim farmers teaching the locals and raising crops on their lease lands.
