Nigeria
The Nigerians are just like Mexicans they had their own civilization before the Europeans came and toke over. The Nigerian country was discovered by Portugal in their trade to find more slaves. When the Europeans were colonizing the new world they needed people to work the sugar cane industry that England had a crave for. Nigeria has a Muslim population, which i think this author makes it seems like this is the issue. Nigeria is surrounded by Algeria, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, and Mali. Nigeria became a country after WWII because the European empire were weakened by WWII. England was in charge of Nigeria, when the crown rule left the settlers wanted to keep their rule, but it failed. Their key institutions are modeled after the USA and the UK. Nigeria has a federal system like the USA, but they keep making more making more states they currently have 36 states. Nigeria has a lot of problems it makes Mexico look like its really doing well.

I agree with you that the book made it seem like the issue was their Muslim population. I do not think that is the issue at all. The issue is the government. There is so much corruption. Nigeria needs to focus on their politicians and their ways, not a religion. Do you think that Nigeria is the way it is because of its former colony?
