Just as U.S is world power, Nigeria is regional power.

One thing is common among them. "Power".
It will be very unreasonable/maybe ignorance for anyone to compare Nigeria with any African country.

Also if you are wise enough, you will see many similar things between Americans and Nigerians.
E.g
1. "super excited citizens"
2. Very rich land for agriculture.
3. Very very resilient citizens.
And so on and so forth.

Look beyond present Nigeria, if you are really a Nigerian.
This country is very sweet.

Fact


2.5 million barrels of crude oil per day means 359 million litters of crude oil

Many depend on Nigeria to get crude for petrol, gas, petrochemicals , fertilizers

Of course Nigeria is a regional power.

''Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world, with an estimated 206 million inhabitants as of late 2019. It has the third-largest youth population in the world, after India and China, with nearly half its population under the age of eighteen.

Nigeria's economy is the largest in Africa and the 24th largest in the world, worth almost $450 billion and $1 trillion in terms of nominal GDP and purchasing power parity, respectively. Nigeria is often referred to as the "Giant of Africa", owing to its large population and economy, and is also considered to be an emerging market by the World Bank; it has been identified as a regional power on the African continent, a middle power in international affairs, and has also been identified as an emerging global power. However, its Human Development Index ranks 158th in the world, and the country is classified as a lower middle-income economy, with a gross national income per capita between $1,026 and $3,986.

Nigeria is a founding member of the African Union and a member of many other international organizations, including the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the ECOWAS, and OPEC. Nigeria is also a member of the informal MINT group of countries, which are widely seen as the globe's next emerging economies, as well as the "Next Eleven" economies, which are set to become among the biggest in the world.''
