    I’m going to suggest you to reword your comment. Because I’m pretty sure it will be interpreted as racist and offensive by some, and I would agree with them. Calling someone’s homeland a “shithole” sucks, especially something as vague as an entire continent. I understand you don’t exactly mean it that way, but in that case, maybe use less insulting language.

    But anyways, regarding your question, I guess there are a lot of “richer” African countries (Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana etc.) Nigeria is not necessarily the richest.
