Because it is. Nigeria is a very rich country (well in most parts anyway)

Nigeria GDP is growing more than Ghana. Nigeria has the highest GDP in West Africa. Nigeria is one of the highest growing economy in the world. A statement about Nigeria

Nigeria's GDP is by far the largest in West Africa, and the second largest in Africa. Nigeria has the largest defence budget in West Africa, and the 3th largest in Africa.

Nigeria is also a regional power.

Nigeria is classified as an emerging market, and is rapidly approaching middle income status. Ghana on the other hand is still classified as a third world country. Ghana also depend on foreign aid. Ghana have better democracy than Nigeria and less corruption. Other than that, Ghana economy haven't done much.

In 2002, Ghana economy was better than Nigeria but in 2008, Nigeria economy surpassed Ghana in a high percentage (Now Ghana economy is below Nigeria again). And Nigeria distributes oil all over the world.
