The Pope on the second paragraph of the letter,  applauded the economic growth of Nigeria, also tagging her the "African giant".

It read: "Nigeria, known as the “African giant”, with its more than 160 million inhabitants, is set to play a primary role, not only in Africa but in the world at large. In recent years, it has experienced robust growth in the economic sphere and has again reasserted itself on the world stage as an attractive market, on account of its natural resources as well as its commercial potential. It is now considered officially the single largest African economy. It has also distinguished itself as a political player widely committed to the resolution of crisis situations in the continent."

With the election being just few days away, what are your thoughts on Pope Francis' commendation?
