    It's incredible that after 14 and a half years, the situation in Nigeria is still impacted by the various factors involved. The nation is headed in a direction, to be sure.

      Some would probably say it is going forward or backwards, while others are saying that it is not doing either. Regardless, the fact still remains that they are an enormous African country slated for large population growth.

      @@ButtBungus If we are going to Nitpick lets do it right.
      An Exothermic reaction releases energy out, some of this energy it releases is perceived in the form of heat. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy and some of the energy it absorbs is perceived in the form of heat.
      Lechatlier's principle explains the idea of equilibrium. When you mix 2 reactants together to form a product, some of that product unmixes itself and turns back into reactants. You can mess around with the environment including temperature to change these 2 rates.
      Usually if you are in a decent school you would have a lab where you put a test tube with colored solution in cold water, see it is one color, then put it in hot water and see the color change to something else, then when you put it back into the cold water from the hot water, the color changes back.
      The color changes due to the product being one color and the reactants being another color.
      Foward and reverse reactions are entirely subjective to the goals of the scientist. If the scientist wants to make reactants from the product, then to the scientist, the product is not a product, but rather a reactant, making the reverse reaction the foward reaction.

      Agreed, but the situation is dynamic and the causes may not represent the actions that need to be taken now. The initial causes are really only part of the equation, and we really need to take potential emerging complications into account. There's just a huge amount of uncertainty here.

It doesn't matter what initially caused the thing that led to this other thing. It's the here and now that we need to focus our attention on. We need to establish institutions and plans into place that will further the quality of life for the people and not the wealthy 1%.

    Hi, time traveler here. In the year 2025, the situation in Nigeria is still complex, with multiple important interlocking factors at play including the actions of both the people as a whole and in groups such as the government. This is an important message as well for today's youth because there is a way to fix this problem: by taking the steps required to fix it. Surely, with my aid, you can do that thing. The people of Nigeria or perhaps the people living in the region formerly known as Nigeria thank you for your collective and inspiration efforts on the solution to the problem that may be occuring.
