Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency. Nigeria is one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to the amount of natural resources within its geographical area. Unfortunately, the country hasn’t been able to convert these resources into actual wealth as a result; Nigeria is not among the richest countries in the world in terms of GDP. But this doesn’t mean there are no richest states in the country.

I have to close my eyes to guess if that state that begins with L is not there. Lo and behold like UEFA cup is to Real Madrid so is IGR is to the State. Stand out with other non-lazy youths to learn how to do design for M&E companies. Available training are HVAC, electrical, fire fighting and plumbing including Revit MEP.

Binikingdowm: They said Internally Generated Revenue and not Externally Generated Revenue ie Diaspora remittances. For my potopoto brothers who won't agree with this list, they were only referring to legitimate businesses. Assuming they could tax kidnappers, armed robbers and baby factory operators, the potopoto states would have been tops. 60 Likes 4 Shares |
