Nigeria has a population of 180 million people. UN projections currently suggest that it will have a population greater than the US by 2050, becoming the world\'s third most populous state. Per capita GDP is currently only \$2650. Assuming they go through a developmental transition similar to China and India, there\'s going to be a tremendous amount of wealth created.\
