Natural resources a blessing or a curse!

One could easily say that most natural resources constitutes a nuisance to the individual countries in which they reside, take for example the Nigerian situation; imagine what the situation would have been if the country has no crude oil, I believe now that the country will be exporting experts in the diverse field in crude oil, like in drilling, refining, re-refining etc. I also believe that the best and most innovative oil workers will be from Nigeria now' but for the fact that there is oil in the country, thieves are governors sick people are presidents, lay bouts are politicians and it has become an insult to be addressed as "honorable".
