It'll bring in revenue. However, there is no guarantee it'll go to the nation - given the history of politics in post-colonial Africa, the odds are against it. Instead, it'll likely line the pocket of kleptocratic politicians, and cause the nation to be ultimately exploited and bled dry for a pittance.

Why is oil both of blessing and a curse to Africa?

As with many other countries, particularly in the Middle East, oil is a blessing because it allows them to generate enormous profits as a state. But it's a curse because they then have little interest in diversifying their economy, which is essential for many things. Corruption and tyranny typically are the worst side effects of a nation rich and oil and little else. Economically, a crash in oil prices would be devastating for this nation - they have nothing to hedge on.

How is oil both a blessing and a problem for the Arabia peninsula?

Blessing: It allows for rapid modernization and growth in an area that is otherwise almost completely unproductive and financially non-viable. Curse: It allows for the survival of cruel and authoritarian dictatorships since they can support themselves on oil revenues without having to deal with taxation and "paying" (both to stop people from protesting and to hire police to beat those who won't back down to money) to avoid needing to concede to partial democratic reforms.
