I was surprised that okra is such a significant export in Nigeria; I didn’t realize agriculture was so important in this region. I appreciated the pictures included in this infographic. They showed the impact of the economic needs of this area. I’d like to know more about the graphs’ display and how they impacted others.
I really liked how you did the background in your information as if it was smoke coming from the crude oil machines. The images of the ecosystem being destroyed from the Niger Delta oil disaster really put in perspective how much damage oil is doing to our ecosystem. The oil spill photo puts in perspective the extent of danger oil can be as ecosystem and create more climate change. It surprised me how much oil Nigeria exports go towards Europe I would not have assumed that. The infographic puts in perspective how Nigeria let itself be vulnerable with the over reliance of oil exports to boost the country’s economy. It surprises me that Nigeria has not tried to monetize on other attributes of its land, but it could be difficult if they have only destroyed their country’s natural beauty. I wonder what kind of local industries Nigeria has tried developing?
What surprised me about learning about this country was learning that the cost of Nigeria being over dependence on oil export as a vulnerability. The best part of the infographic was the information regarding the effects of the crude oil boom. Introducing the Niger Delta oil disaster from 2010 to support the drawbacks of their oil export was a nice touch. Excellent job.
It is interesting that a nation as lush as Nigeria would have some semblance of oil under its soil. That is a new thing to me. I do like the dive into how oil was found in the region, the timeline of events, as well as where it all goes. Do think there could be some more added about how Nigeria maybe extracts its oil and how it affects local villages. But all and all, this is really good.
Something I learned about Nigeria is that crude oil accounts for about 90% of Nigeria’s export revenue, that’s a huge percentage! The best part of this infographic is the timeline. I found it so informative because it gave me a visual representation of the important events. The only feedback I have is that your infographic was very interesting and I learned a lot. Great job!
Hii Teagan! Nigeria is a very rich country and has a story that is all too common durning and post colonialism with their resources be allocated everywhere but back to the nation. To see the impact this has had on the nations population is eye opening and I love all the data that you use in your infographic. My favorite part would have to be the song you included thought, I feel as if it really wraps everything together and shows that yes there’s raw data but also there’s were real people being taken advantage of and documentation of this is the song that you included.
1) it was surprising to read about how much oil can actually affects a country’s economic stability and after seeing the numbers and the positive benefits and negative I understand why this is such a major market people invest in.
2) I think the best part of this infographic was the numbers and how the photos correspond to what was being talked about also learning about the gross production in Nigeria with the pie chart.
3) I think this infographic is really informative and really speaks for itself with the numbers that was put out I enjoyed seeing more photos that told a story vs. words that can be a lot for people to understand
I agree with you, Nigeria should not be over-reliant on their oil exports. They should be diversifying themselves with other resources to protect themselves and insulate themselves against an economic downturn. The one thing they should not be doing is selling their gold. I do not believe that is wise because the price continually rises, so why not hold onto it and keep the value for themselves? The money they make off the gold could help them offset the joblessness by creating jobs and preventing the hunger that is prevalent there.
I was astounded by Nigeria’s reliance on a single resource, which indicates resilience and potential. I never realized how important the oil use was needed in Nigeria! Nigeria’s agricultural potential strikes me as particularly noteworthy. They integrate technological advancements with environmental initiatives, demonstrating a trend toward reducing dependency on oil. I really loved reading this infographic.
I was surprised by the stark contrast between Nigeria’s oil wealth and its agricultural potential. The best part of the infographic is how the economic divide visually contrasts the two industries. This is a wonderful infographic, the only suggestion would be to add statistics to make the visual impact even stronger.
