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.

It was a blessing and a curse: when the 1973 Oil Crisishit the developed world, Mexican Presidents Luis Echeverria and Jose Lopez Portillo began to rely heavily on oil exports to support the financial needs of the country, taking advantage of the high oil prices.
