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.
What surprised me most was how much Nigeria’s economy still relies on crude oil today, even after all the damage and instability it has caused. I didn’t realize just how sharply the country shifted away from agriculture after the oil boom.
The best part of this infographic was the clear timeline and the visual comparison between agricultural exports and oil exports. It really helped me understand the historical impact in a way that words alone wouldn’t have. I liked how you made the data visual and easy to follow.
One suggestion I would give is to maybe make the text under some of the charts a little larger or bolder — some of the details were hard to read at a quick glance. Otherwise, the layout and explanation were very strong.
This is a very well-designed look at how oil has ended up less as a boon for everyday Nigerians and more a tool of economic exploitation. It is genuinely saddening to see how an industry that could have contributed to the country’s development as part of a diverse number of industries has instead helped ravage much of its agriculture, widened economic disparities, and contributed to understandable anger among its people.
I was surprised to see that the anger towards oil is so intense that workers have created a song to express their frustrations. That feels very powerful, and I hope the people of Nigeria are able to enact change. One of the best things about this infographic is the inclusion of photos that show the damage oil can cause. This makes the numbers and statistics so powerful because you have to see the real-world impact as well.
This was a very informative infographic I learned of the struggles that the people of Nigeria are faced with in regard to the over reliance on the exportation of crude oil. It would be interesting to talk to the locals directly and hear their thoughts. Overall, very nice work Teagan.
Such an insightful and interesting summary of Nigeria’s industrial development! I was surprised how much of an impact the crude oil boom had on the country’s developmental trajectory. With oil being exported primarily to Europe and Asia Pacific, it provides an important source of revenue; however, as you pointed out, it also results in a loss of biodiversity and threats to human security.
The layout of the infographic is structured in such a way that it is very easy to follow and I enjoyed the illustrations as they help grasp the topic. Excellent job!
Hi Teagan,
I was surprised that Nigeria’s reliance on on a single resource just goes to show resilience and potential. The “Green Harvest” agriculture is an important sector that is possible capable of growth and diversification. What resonates with me is the agricultural potential that Nigeria has. They mix technological advancements and sustainable practcies that clearly shows a shift and will eventually be less dependent on oil compared to the past. This infographic was an interesting read and I loved it.
