I'm a Nigerian, lived here all my life and I can tell you what we go through everyday. It's a lawless country with rulers who care for themselves alone and not the masses😔

[oghensatumah]

The only country that experience “oil scarcity” even though they produce the oil.

It’s nice to see aljazeera is raising such awareness, even Nigerians news stations won’t. We Nigerians have lost hope in our government

[elliottoju]

As a Nigerian, born and bred, I can say that this documentary is totally accurate..God punish our evil leaders and their generations

[danielchigbue]

Am a Nigerian, and I must say You really dished the truth as it is...

Honestly, I wish the international community would intervene and rid these corrupt people ones and for all. We've lost hope in expecting a better future for Nigeria... I speak as a youth

[zalla]

I'm from The Gambia I love Nigeria and am sorry for the Nigeria people so sad

[somnwanji]

Since the discovery, it's been a curse for that country.

We are from Russia and we have the same problems - sad, right! Respect to all Nigerian hard-working people fighting for equality! I am proud of you.

Am Kenyan and I really sympathize with the situation of my Naija brodas! It's such a pity😢😢😢...Nigeria should be a leading light in Africa! They have been producing oil for almost 50 years yet 48%(and to bring things into perspective that 48% of close to 200 million people!) of the population lives in extreme poverty! This is really sad indeed.

Nigerians, Africans, wake up all this foolishness has to stop.

[kelvinquartey]

I'm Ghanaian but this really hurts me😢

[T.image]

Are rich Nigerians completely uninterested in forcing the government to develop Nigeria??

[truthseeker-w]

Nigeria is likened to that intelligent child in class that would neither study nor go to school and yet expect to pass an examination. Shame!

[badmuskaybee]

Who is waching in Nigeria and feel they are right?

[LGYE]

Just stupid they already have the money to refine the oil themselves but they rather pay a foreign company than exploiting it

[darankanga]

Nigerians were living the dream until oil was discovered.

[RedHearts]

i’m still shook at the fact that 16 BILLION dollars was just “missing”

[realadex]

Thanks for this awesome documentary, we hope such production as this will go along way to enlighten the Nigerian populace about their country's status

[maquindesign]

Lack of LOVE amongst ourselves. A part of the masses today will be in government tomorrow and they will still do the same thing they complained about when they were once powerless. The people of Nigeria Just share a land mass their hearts are not together.

God bless you guys for this documentary
