I was just thinking about this a minute ago: Japan and Nigeria are exact opposites. Japan is a wealthy industrialized country with almost no oil reserves, and Nigeria is a very poor country with large oil reserves.
According to Wikipedia (who knows how accurate it is), Nigeria has the 7th largest oil refinery in the world.
If a long Iran war is bad for the Japanese economy, could the Iran war be good for the Nigerian economy? Because the Iran war shrinks the competition and it also makes oil more expensive, but Nigeria has the same amount of oil, so they can sell the same supply of oil to more countries and sell it for a higher price. So if the Iran war drags on longer than a few weeks and goes for several months or maybe a year or longer, should we expect to see a spike in Nigeria’s GDP?

Nigeria does have terrorism in the north, but the Dangote refinery is located in the south on an island and I know from looking at satellite pictures that Nigeria has a naval base near there in Apapa just to the west. So it’s probably unlikely that terrorism would affect their oil output…

Trump was actually pretty popular in Nigeria last year. Pew research found that he had 79% approval in Nigeria. So it would be interesting to see if Nigeria comes out in support of the Iran war if they start noticing a profit.
