Nigeria

                      It is said that Nigeria can be a country full of greatness, or like some call of it a "powerhouse." Nigeria has a population of 177 million, thus making a country that can succeed in so many ways. Nigeria is full of people who attend universities, looking for jobs, and who speak English as well. The issue is that unfortunately the countryside of the country is full of poverty, to be exact a hundred million are considered to be living in poverty.
                  When there is a job opening there are only a few spots open, and the applicants are much more. Not only employment is an issue but Nigeria also lacks electricity. The fact is that the country can not develop without electricity thus making the country difficult to prosper.

Brazil

          Brazil has thirty two political parties registered as of now. From those thirty two, twenty six

have a words like "democrat" "social" and "workers." Another interesting fact about Brazil's political

parties that even those who are on the left do not consider themselves the right. Many say that they

would consider the country's parties conservative. The thing about Brazil that people do not consider

themselves in the left.  Most of the country (half) have a right wing  view on social issues like, gun

control and death penalty.

       Brazil's economic view is that as the country grows richer, people feel like they would rather

keep their gains instead of sharing them. The fact that the way going and growing it could quickly

change.
