Well, these are some of the answers to your question.

1. Corruption

Many of our leaders have stolen billions of dollars from money that accrues to the government to the detriment of our teeming population. General Abacha was estimated to have siphoned off about $3 billion -$4 billion. Ismaila Gwazo, Abacha's National Security Adviser, refunded almost $200 million to the administrations of Abdulsalami Abubakar and Olusegun Obasanjo (after Abacha died in office).

In addition, many top civil servants divert public funds into their accounts, inflate contracts and award contracts to incompetent people.

2. Over dependence on oil.

It is estimated that about 95% of our foreign earnings comes from oil. Many Nigerians simply let go of other sources of income. Nigeria at one point was the largest exporter of cocoa, now we lag behind Cote 'Dvoire and Ghana.

3. Bad Economic Policies

In Nigeria, we have had leaders that opened our borders to all sorts of goods that we produce at home. At this point in time in Nigeria, we should be self-sufficient in Rice production like the asian countries. Instead, we continue to import.

Another example: we have a refinery built in Kaduna (the north), while the oil itself exists in the Niger Delta (the south). Hundreds of millions of dollars was spent on building the pipeline used to transport oil to the north when it could be refined in the south where it was originally extracted.

5. Large Population

Our per capita income is very low compared to other oil producing countries because we are about 140 million strong in Nigeria. Kuwait produces more oil than us and doesn't even have up to 20 million people calling the place home.
