It Is a well-known precept in geopolitics that a country does not have 'permanent friends', only 'permanent interests.'
Nigeria may be neither a permanent friend nor a permanent enemy of the United States. But America does have important economic interests in Nigeria, and therefore maintains a sort of watching brief over that country.
Western oil companies like Chevron, Shell and Total, operate in Nigeria. But that is no big deal. What makes Nigeria uniquely important to the West is the quality of its oil. This is light (as in 'Bonny Light') and is therefore greatly sought after to mix with much heavier crudes imported from elsewhere.
