  2.  @muslimbigg1339  French nuclear power plants source less than 10% of their uranium from Niger. Why only 20 percent of nigeriens have access to electricity in their homes, you'll have to ask your government. But if it is like in many other African countries, then massive corruption is the main problem.

  6. It's a huge difference between wanted and unwanted interference. Russia is NOT wanted in Ukraine, USA is wanted in Nigeria. (You asked about Nigeria, but I guess you meant Niger. Nevertheless, my answer is about Nigeria) Bilateral relations between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the United States of America were formally inaugurated when Nigeria attained its independence from Britain in 1960. Nigerian–U.S. military cooperation under George W. Bush's administration was centred on the Africa Center for Strategic Studies and the Africa Crisis Response Initiative. In 2007, Bush's administration established the Africa Partnership Station, which has been a hub for cooperation against piracy, drug trafficking, oil theft, and border fraud in the Gulf of Guinea. Currently, Nigeria is a member of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS (D-ISIS), and the U.S. and Nigeria co-hosted a virtual D-ISIS conference in October 2020. It also receives U.S. military support as a member of the Africa Military Education Program and as a member since 2005 of the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership; and in 2020 it bought over $1.2 million in defense equipment from the U.S. In addition, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been stationed permanently at the Kainji Airbase in Nigeria, to oversee key U.S. Africa Command projects there.
