It is very interesting that Nigeria and Russia both exhibit what one may refer to as a plethora of commonalities that include the practice of federalism, are regional leaders in their own right, have about the same population size, are countries in transition, are advancing from authoritarian rule to democracy, and are endowed with immense human and natural resources like agricultural land and hydrocarbons. Ordinarily, these commonalities should contribute to strengthening relations between both countries. The flip side, however, is that Nigeria and Russia also share similar economic and developmental problems of infrastructure development, education, housing, medicare, pension matters, high unemployment rate and problems associated with property rights, corruption and environmental pollution.
