    Progress is always good, but they Mexico GDP is more than twice as much. And Mexico isn't exactly a first world country.

    Proximity to USA helps Mexico

    I agree

    Europe is trying to ? Nigeria up more by funding those Islamic groups


    Which nations in Europe are doing that? I wouldn't put anything past Europeans but those Islamic terror groups seem to hate the West and Nigeria's govt almost equally, because Nigeria's oil production often gets help from Western nations and that oil is polluting much of Nigeria's coasts, causing lots of health and financial problems. If anything, I thought Europe was helping to fund Nigeria's govt


    France in particular

    With all of Nigeria's money and power now, they should be able to prevent stupid ? like this from happening.....200 girls were kidnapped from a school in Nigeria's Muslim dominated north coast by Boko Harem, a fanatical Muslim sect. Some have been found but witnesses say those girls are already being ? , forced to convert to Islam, and are forced to be servants, of every kind....Nigeria sadly still has a pretty weak govt

    No one knows where the missing girls are. And even more surprising, no one's particularly shocked.

    "All the community are sympathizing with the parents," Kwambura told CNN earlier. But, she said, "the people in the villages are not surprised."

    Such is life in the lawless Borno province.

    Tucked away near the border with Cameroon, with phone services cut off and travel strongly discouraged, this poor corner of Nigeria is no stranger to such brazen, violent acts.

    For 11 months, the provinces of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have been under a state of emergency due to relentless assaults blamed on Boko Haram.

    The Islamist militant group has bombed churches and mosques; kidnapped women and children; and assassinated politicians and religious leaders.
