The United States and Nigeria are facing their greatest opportunity

By RICH MBARIKET

The economy of Nigeria is one of the fastest growing in the world, with the International Monetary Fund projecting a growth of 8.3% in 2009.

With a population of over 148 million Nigeria is the most populous 'black' country in the world and has shown marked improvements in attempts to tackle corruption and to hasten development.

Nigeria is rapidly approaching middle income status, with its abundant supply of resources, well-developed financial, legal, communications, transport sectors and stock exchange (the Nigerian Stock Exchange), which is the second largest in Africa.

Nigeria is the United States' largest trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa and supplies a fifth of its oil (11% of oil imports).

Nigeria has the 7th-largest trade surplus with the U.S. of any country worldwide.

Nigeria is currently the 50th-largest export market for U.S. goods and the 14th-largest exporter of good to the U.S.

The United States is Nigeria's largest investor.

Working together the United States and Nigeria can partner with RMA Brands Advertising Agency to the advantage of both.

Currently, RMA Brands Advertising is investigating opportunities in Abuja, Nigeria (the nations capital) to open a branch that would advertise the United States' products in all parts of Nigeria and Nigeria's products in all parts of the United States.
