It's tragic all of that wealth going into the hands of a minority - I've followed Shell in Nigeria for a while - I even stood on top of a Shell garage with a 'stop the plunder' banner back in the 1990s as part of a protest - it's pretty abusive - of course Shell say they pay money for development and to clear up pollution, but it all just goes missing.
I wonder what's after oil there must be more resources under Nigeria?
Sad truth is I think you're right that the average Nigerian is probably better off looking for other means to stack wealth, if you're not already in with the elite by the sounds of it you won't be benefitting from oil or anything else that's mined!

Shell and co plunders the Nigerian state to stupor and in liaison with the Nigerian government they plifer the state. There's really no other resources that Nigerian as a country has and oil is dispensable and limited which means it will not last forever. From the looks of it, the oil is to enrich political leaders and their families while Nigerian people remain in perpetual poverty
