From Anonymous:

"A. The Nigerian political system allows large exports of oil internationally, in exchange for profit, is an example of 'rent seeking' behavior.

"B. This is detrimental to the people of Nigeria because its economy relies solely on oil exports, and its one-product dependency is a danger to its economic stability."
============================

This response earns the possible point for the example.

This response earns both possible points for the explanation.
