It appears, discovering oil in Nigeria was the beginning of woes to the country. Because, all attention shifted from agriculture and other natural resources to crude oil 🛢 only.

Na oil make Big company like Ajaoku Steel Company no dey function. Now, we need to build concrete roads with imported Iron rods bought with dollars.

Indeed, broomcorn is an unusal word, but really logical.

The reason is that sorghum has quite stiff panicles (flower branches which divide into sub-branches) that make it very useful in making brooms and brushes.
