Issues in Nigeria


As ambassador from Nigeria, I regret that I must report some serious issues that are taking place within my country at this very moment.

First, the government is full of various divisions based on ethnicity and religion and such extremist groups always seem to have terrible tensions within them, leading to serious problems. Last month, for example, there was a bloody conflict between Christian and Muslim groups. This is just the latest in many conflicts, and just this year, hundreds of lives have been claimed by them.

Next, Nigeria is rich in many valuable resources that could create an excellent and profitable economy. The problem here is that the government is too unstable to use them effectively. It was only a decade ago that my country threw off military rule, and now the civilian government is too rocked by political extremism that it spends more time fighting amongst itself than actually solving problems and making good descisions.
