Marketing Nigeria In April 2014 statistical "rebasing" exercise, Nigeria has emerged as Africa 's largest economy, with 2015 GDP estimated at $1.1 trillion. Oil has been a dominant source of income and government revenues since the 1970s. Following the 2008-9 global financial crises, the banking sector was effectively recapitalized and regulation enhanced.

Although production figures dropped in the eighties due to economic slump, 2004 saw a total rejuvenation of oil production to a record level of 2.5 million barrels per day. Current development strategies are aimed at increasing production to 4million barrels per day by the year 2010. The gross domestic profit (GDP) is going up every year 2013 was 1 trillion, in 2014 it was 1.063 trillion, and in 2015 it was 1.092.” So every year it is going up and up so for anyone you can see that you would be able to make money in the oil business in Nigeria if you or anyone else for that matter could get your hands in on some of that deal you could be making a lot of money. In my option this is not a high risk because the oil figures are not going down at all so the money you would put in you would defiantly get back in the long run.

A little more about the center Nike is the Managing Director/CEO of Nike Center for Art and Culture, Osogbo where trainings are offered free of charge to all Nigerians in various forms

Nigeria has not flourished the ability to manufacture direct products in its own country. Instead, imports, 85% of its national demands and is a customer to many developed countries who gain greater profit from Nigeria's inability. Western countries like France forged deep ties with governments rich in major oil, gas and mining companies, strategically allowing themselves to secure exploration and production rights in exchange for royalty payment (Frank Vogl, 2012). These strategies have always resulted in a greater profit for

While there are many entry level positions available in Total Oil Nigeria website, for example, well drillers and field experts. There are also a few numbers of slew jobs, such as engineers, architects chemists, and other services that should be filled as well.

In 1956, Shell Petroleum discovered oil in commercial quantity in Nigeria. Within a decade, oil exploration speedily replaced agriculture as the mainstay of the country’s economy. In 2006, roughly 97 percent of exchange revenue and about 80 percent of all government expenditures came from petroleum proceeds . The Niger Delta region is located at the southernmost part of Nigeria and comprises of nine states; Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Rivers State, Abia, Imo and Ondo states. The region constitutes 7.5% of Nigeria’s land mass, yet it is “the nerve center of Nigeria’s oil industry” as it produces 100% of its oil and gas and generates more than 80% of all revenues . Aside the Niger Delta’s huge fossil fuel reserves, its numerous rivers, streams and fertile lands make fishing, farming and hunting the major economic activities of the natives .

The Niger Delta has been a source of illicit international business deals (like the trans-Atlantic slave trade), as far back as the 15th century. Today a new form of syndicated criminal proclivity is threatening the very foundations of Nigeria’s petroleum industry, and by extension, the Nigerian economy, as well as putting tremendous pressure on Chief (General) Olusegun Obasanjo. That problem is the "illegal bunkering" of crude oil and/or its derivatives.
The Niger Delta produces the oil wealth which accounts for the bulk of Nigeria’s foreign earnings. Paradoxically however, these vast revenues from an international industry have barely touched the Niger Delta’s own pervasive local poverty (UNDP, 2006:1). The majority of the population in the rural areas in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria are living in extreme poverty in spite of
