Nigeria has replaced France as the hegemon of west Africa. If they can leverage the resources and manpower of west Africa to extend their influence over the rest of Africa and possibly the Caribbean, South America and more broadly the southern Atlantic region, Nigeria working with countries like Brazil, Angola and Ethiopia, has the potential to lead a system that could potentially be a potent force on the global stage. Nigeria becaming a superpower similar to America during their unipolar moment is a very big if, but Nigerias hegemony of west Africa and the Gulf of Guinea is already very well established without any real regional competitors.

So Nigeria has a lot of things do deal with. They need to diversify their economy, most likely through cheap labor (whether they do it the Indian way or Chinese way remains to be seen.) They need to reinforce their agricultural sector too unless they want to be dependant on Europe and the Americas for food. They need to reinforce some type of national identity so they don't have others civil wars (given the diversity of the country, India would be a good model.) And then they'd need some way to influence the region, ECOWAS is a good start I suppose.

Nigeria is the worlds largest producer of cassava and yams the main staple food in west Africa. Sub Saharan Africa gets 80% of their calories domestically. 19% from imports. It is the second lowest figure behind only North America/ USA. Nigeria also has a strong national identity and is not on the brink of civil war. Sudan is nearly entirely Islamic but is currently having a civil war. Uganda is nearly entirely Christian but has had civil wars. I think the religious issue in Nigeria is overplayed.

Not a superpower, but a great/major power probably within the next few decades with proper leadership. Nigeria already is a regional power, so it’s already on the trajectory the superpowers once started out with. Which is being a great power on your continent (area of the world. ) After all, the USSR dominated Eastern Europe and Central Asia. China dominates east Asia, and the US dominates the Americas. That is not to say that the superpowers are unchallenged, it’s just that they can project both hard and soft power better than everyone else in their region.

Nigeria's dependency ratio is far too high for its GDP (and particularly per capita GDP) to grow at a reasonable rate any time soon. At the current rate of change, it will be the mid 2060s to early 2070s before it's dependency ratio is what India's is today. At that time, I predict Nigeria will begin to do very well. Until then however, it's GDP growth is most likely to remain fairly slow growing at around 2-3% per year, perhaps 3-4%/ year by the mid 2040s and 4-5%/ year by the 2060s.

If they dumped oil money into infrastructure and stopped being greedy for 10 years the country would transform. Crack down hard on lawlessness in the far north. It’s really the leaders keeping all the money holding it back. All they need to do is build proper roads, rail, power, and schools.

Why is this topic always on KZread from different KZread channels? Do you believe i kept seeing in my dreams that whether the world likes it or not this country will someday become the battery of the whole world; A giant and a world power nation. And i kept asking myself how will this materialize despite her numerous challenges. Suddenly after sometime i start seeing various KZread channel predicting this beautiful future for this country. I sense that flame of greatness coming out gradually from the area of entertainment which Nigerian artists are gradually taking over the world. I believe this flame of greatness will impact the leadership of the country which will bring a radical transformation economically and politically. And when this happen, Nigeria as the most populated country will take her stand again in the continent and in the world. That is why i don't want Nigeria to join brics. I want her to stand great alone, now can uplift other African countries and together will become a great and giant nation in the world. This is indeed the future. Where i am now, I never believe in the past i can be where i am today. There may be numerous challenges today in the country now but the future of her greatness is imminent.

Lagos was at no point in history a colony of the Benin Kingdom. Lagos Island is the oldest part of the city. The indigenous people of Lagos island were and still are the Awori people, a sub ethnic group of Yoruba people. Much later, the Oba of Benin sent a business delegation to Lagos Island to establish a trading outpost to enable the Benin Kingdom to trade with Europeans. Several of these Benin elites intermarried with Awori ruling elites. Prior to becoming a British colony, the western half of the city was settled first by the Oyo and later the Egba people, both sub ethnicities of the Yoruba. Another Yoruba sub ethnic group the Ijebu settled the eastern part of the city aka the lekki peninsula from Victoria Island to Epe.

@@okene Nigeria today is at a similar level of development to America right before ww1. Historically speaking you can track west African history with the rise and fall of states that eventually became big enough to gain a trade, social, cultural, economics and military hegemony over the region. This pattern was first noticed by the Timbuktu scholars centuries ago but it still holds true today. The original 3 hegemons were Ghana, then Mali, then Songhai. After Mali/Songhai collapsed west Africa entered a dark age where lots of smaller empires started fighting for dominance in the region until the Europeans came and conquered Africa with France becoming the 4th hegemon of west Africa. Fast foward to ww2 and the French empire beings to collapse leading to another (shorter) scramble for hegemony over the region. Which Nigeria has now inherited. Making Nigeria the 5th hegemon of west Africa. Nigeria for all its problems is not at risk of complete state and institutional collapse and the historic record shows that having stable institutions is half the battle of development. Nigeria is around 70% of the budget of ecowas, 60% the gdp and 50% the population. When added with Ghana the numbers become closer to 80%. Nigeria & Ghana also provides food and energy to much of west Africa. Hegemon does not mean Nigeria will become America overnight and be rid of all its problems. It is just the description of the place Nigeria holds in west African geopolitics. Nigerias biggest benefit is that they are a massive fish in a big pond full of small fishes.

At the current rate, with overpopulation spiraling out of control, they'll probably just end up struggling to feed themselves and become indebted to some other superpower, same as Pakistan, Egypt, Sri Lanka, etc. Superpowers tend to have a massive pool of resources to go along with massive population. Just look at the USA and Soviet Union, both with pretty reasonable population densities and a gargantuan landmass. Even China has a rapidly falling population, and feeding the country has been a huge national security issue (they import a *lot* of food and as such are dependent on trade, making any potential conflicts that piss off trading partners a bit too much completely out of the question. The issue of potential western blockade with the first island chain is also a constant threat due to this). Honestly my biggest bets for the next superpower (other than China, which basically already is) would be Brazil, all they need is a few actually good leaders and a bit of luck.

Nigeria will never be a superpower because of corrupt money pocketing political leaders all over the country. With Money pocketing corruption there will never be development. Even if there is some development it will retrogress or move at a very slow pace due to corrupt money pocketing political leaders. The country is one of the greatest oil suppliers yet they don't have electricity for Nigerian citizens. Meanwhile they export electricity to other African countries which is extreme foolishness. The country lacks infrastructure. For a country that has a quarter billion people. What they need is to build affordable high rise buildings within cities for the middle and lower class to contain the population. With high rise apartment infrastructure, all the people living in slums can be moved to these new affordable high rises while the slum areas should be converted to green areas, beautiful shorelines and tourist areas. At least with decent living conditions, the government can know how much electricity can be distributed to "real houses". The country has badly built roads with opened gutters full of filth instead of closed drainage systems. Most roads in Nigeria within cities have no sidewalk neither are they paved. Even the paved roads are often cracked or full of dust by the sides with no markings or street signs or traffic lights. The country has no garbage treatment plants with recycling facilities The country has no sewage treatment plants. Sewage is returned back to rivers and the seas without being treated first which is harmful for the environment. The country has no water purification plants to supply water to homes. The country has no birth control or immigration control. The country has bad diet The country does not keep records of infrastructure built by Chinese so that they can build it by themselves. At the airports there's too much bribery and corruption with airport workers demanding money despite the huge signs behind them saying, DO NOT ASK FOR BRIBES. Nigeria citizens are often harassed at their own international airport than they are harassed in foreign airports. The country has no free and advanced Universal Health Care System, meaning that if you develop a chronic illness in Nigeria you die! Meanwhile the corrupt and shameless money pocketing Nigerian politicians who stack piles and piles of cash for themselves use corruption money to travel abroad to receive medical treatments for themselves while Nigerian citizens die from not having free medical care. This is one thing they are supposed to fix in Nigeria but they dont causing the nation to have a low life expectancy. Because of money pocketing corruption by shameless political leaders all over Nigeria, there isn't enough money for development and continuous maintenance that would provide jobs for Nigerian citizens to make them happy. With continuous money pocketing corruption, the future of Nation's development is quite uncertain. Maintenance in all sectors will be pretty much very unlikely and many technologies will never be renovated but left to decay. Therefore Nigeria is NOT superpower because there is ZERO development! It is one of the lest developed countries in Africa in terms of infrastructural development and among the worst 5 in terms of GDP per Capta meaning that the standard of living is one of the poorest and worst in the world. The political leaders in Nigeria are criminals because they are NOT helping Nigerian citizens as they should, due to their selfish and greedy money pocketing corrupt habits.

Maybe in the next millennium but with wishful thinking of two centuries.
