You can be sure that the Nigerian government won’t be collapsing anytime soon.

Real estate
Although real estate usually requires a large capital, you can find relatively cheap piece of lands in developing parts of the country. If real estate investment holds more attraction for you but you can’t afford to start big, it is advisable to buy those cheap lands and resell them in the future when their value increases.
