Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with Lagos being one of the largest overcrowded cities in the world. The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a failed state with massive corruption from the top of the government including military and police. Terrorist groups and organized crime cause havoc all through the country with heroin drug trafficking a major source of income for these crime syndicates. Billions have been stolen by corrupt government officials leaving Nigeria in financial shambles. The lower class suffers while the corrupt elites take advantage of the nation for themselves. Violent gangs terrorize innocent civilians with shootings, killings, kidnappings and other heinous crimes. Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group has declared war on the government looking to create a pure Muslim nation killing for its extremist views. The United States and the West needs to ban Nigerian oil from being imported since this gives the Nigerian government a lifeline to continue stealing and abusing their citizens. Nigeria’s future is grim without a massive corruption overhaul while eradicating these violent terrorists and thugs in their country. The continue destabilization of Nigeria will only hurt Africa and the rest of the world. This is the history of Nigeria, a failed state.
