Talk:Economy of Nigeria

message: There is a tone of informality here that seems a little off. Using phrases "which is needed" and "which is not relevant", imply a level of evaluation of the relative goodness and badness of various policies, rather than simply saying how they relate. It also makes me suspicious of NPOV. I'm not any kind of expert, so I decline to make edits  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffeldred (talk • contribs) 22:32, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Types of crude oil in Nigeria has been sitting around doing nothing since its AfD in September 2005 - over a year and a half ago.  The result was "no consensus." Is this worth merging? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Strangerer (talk • contribs) 00:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked at the article and it doesn't seem there's much there. It should probably just be tagged AfD again. --D 21:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

http://www.cenbank.org/OUT/SPEECHES/2007/Govadd14-5-07.pdf. The gdp and most economic indicators are way off base. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.190.55 (talk • contribs) 
Agreed, the GDP information was taken for one quarter, and other data sources show that there are large fluctuations in GDP by sector throughout the year.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.124.124 (talk) 19:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

* Main article: Advance fee fraud
Nigeria is also the home of the Advance fee fraud (a.k.a. 419 scam and "Nigerian scam"), which nets the country a significant amount of money "The Nigerian Nightmare," Slate "Nigerian Scam," Snopes. The United States Secret Service stated that the scheme generates hundreds of millions of dollars every year "[http://web.archive.org/web/20060706031522/http://www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml 	
PUBLIC AWARENESS ADVISORY REGARDING "4-1-9" OR "ADVANCE FEE FRAUD" SCHEMES]," United States Secret Service. Insa Nolte, the director of University of Birmingham's African Studies Department, stated that "The availability of e-mail helped to transform a local form of fraud into one of Nigeria's most important export industries." "Baiters Teach Scammers a Lesson," Wired.
These statements are inaccurate and misleading - "nets the country a significant amount of money" implies that this is a government or business supported economic activity. "Insa Nolte, the director of University of Birmingham's African Studies Department" - Ms. Nolte is a junior academic at the Centre of West African Studies of the University of Birmingham (http://www.cwas.bham.ac.uk/staff/) whose academic credentials and experience are limited to socio-political research. Furthermore there is already a comprehensive article dedicated to this subject. The neutrally of this edit is suspect. Ajisekanla (talk) 13:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: There is an image that shows what Nigeria exported in 2011. The problem is that if you press it, you still don't get its legend. You have to press on "more details" to get from the media viewer to the details page. Tzafrir (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I tried to clean up the data in the infobox, but I'm giving up. There are too many entries that are unsourced. Editors keep changing the numbers, but too few update the references. We have entries that say "2021", but the source is from 2019! And some of the URLs don't work anymore. (For example, it looks like the IMF has changed its URLs.) In conclusion: The infobox is in a sorry state. It needs a lot of cleanup. — Chrisahn (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
