The price of oil is one of the most heavily watched trends in economics, as it has an effect on the economies of every nation in the world. Some countries, such as the United States, fare better economically when oil prices are low. The U.S. importsfar more oil than it exports, and its citizens consume oil and gas at a higher rate than the citizens of any other country in the world. Because the U.S. buys more oil than it sells, and because gas constitutes a significant budget item for most U.S. citizens, low oil and gas prices generally improve the U.S. financial picture.
For countries that rely on oil exports to fuel their economies and that are not among the world's largest consumers of oil, the relationship between oil prices and economic health is quite different. While it maintains mostly an inverse relationship with the U.S. economy, the price of oil and Venezuela's economy move pretty much in lockstep. When oil prices are high, Venezuela enjoys good economic times. When oil prices drop, economic disaster ensues for the South American country. Such was the case during the second half of 2014, when a precipitous fall in oil prices caused the bolivar currency system in Venezuela to crumble and pushed the country to the verge of defaulting on its considerable debt.
Oil comprises 95% of Venezuela's exports and 25% of its gross domestic product(GDP). High prices provide a boon to the country's economy. The period from 2006 until the first half of 2014, save for a brief dip in late 2008 on the heels of a global recession, saw oil prices mostly hover between $100 and $125 per barrel. During that time, Venezuela used its revenues from high oil prices to fund its budget and wield political power. By providing subsidized oilto as many as 13 neighboring Latin American countries, most notably Cuba, Venezuela extracted political favors and attempted to build a coalition against rival nations, namely the U.S.
Its oil giveaway program became more of a burden than a boon for the Venezuelan economy as oil prices collapsed toward the end of 2014. Venezuela gives away over 200,000 barrels of oil per day – half of which goes to Cuba - reducing the amount it has available to export for profit. When oil prices are over $100, Venezuela receives enough margin from exporting oil that the lower volume doesn't harm its economy. When oil drops significantly below that price level, the country's margins are squeezed to the point where it does not meet its spending, resulting in ballooning debt.
In early 2015, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, facing record low approval ratings brought on by the country's crumbling economy, embarked on a world tour to implore other nations with heavy influence on the oil market to take measures to push the price back to $100 or more. Maduro's desperate actions serve as a testament to oil's grip on the Venezuelan economy.

Before we all blame Bubu for lack of economic drive for the country, it is important for us all to relate the issue in Venezuela to Nigeria
