Apart from oil, the man said Nigeria is blessed with fertile land for agriculture.
He said: “Nigeria is way richer than Dubai. Nigeria had crude oil before Dubai.
"Nigeria also has agriculture, gold, diamond and many other valuable mineral deposits (minning), but Nigeria is currently the way it is because of bad leaders.
"The only reason Dubai is better than Nigeria is because of good leadership.”
