Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa. Since its independence from the British in 1960, it has been dominated by neocolonialism.[1]

Economy

Nigeria's economy relies on oil, which is owned by foreign companies. It sells over two million barrels of oil every day, but is forced to import much of its oil from the imperial core. 80% of the Nigerian population lives on less than $2 per day.[1]
