Africa's most populous nation, Nigeria, is now its richest with sustained growth in its GDP, much of it from the burgeoning oil sector. In cities like Lagos, it is now common to see lavish sports cars and the latest SUVs unloading affluent citizens into some of the continent's most expensive restaurants. On the other hand, it is a country where desperate poverty persists. The majority still live on just one or two dollars a day. Business Daily looks at the highs and the lows of Nigeria's economy. Plus, Ed Butler asks Nigeria's finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala how much insecurity in the country is damaging the economy.
