    Out of a population of 155 million, and it being one of the more well off countries in Africa, it is hardly surprising? :confused:

    not sure how 'well off' nigeria is from tv documentaries I have seen..

    of the 150 million I would hazard a guess that about < 20 million are relatively well off.

    the rest...

    Possibly, but it makes me want a Malibu and coke. Does it make me racist that I associate Malibu with Caribbean gentlemen trying to get a signal on their phone?
