Emmanuel ibe kachikwu, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you, stephen. I guess the lesson of the last two years or so, with president Muhamadu Buhari in power, is that nigeria remains dangerously overreliant upon oil. Well, yes. Clearly over reliant. I dont know if its dangerously. Look at the positive sides of oil, in terms of what it has done to the country over the years. When the price slumps, its dangerous. Oh yes. We would love to see, obviously, a lot more diversification, a lot of effort is going into that, emphasis on agriculture, tourism areas, emphasis
