These are regular buildings in some countries.

There's absolutely nothing stunning about the Ibadan building. I suggest its replaced with another picture, thanks.

Obafemi Awolowo University was established by the Action group in 1961 AFTER independence, by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who, in protest at the (colonial) Ashby Commission's recommendations in 1959 to build a federal university in the north and east, but none in the west, decided to establish the University of Ife, which later came to bear his name. That is why it is called Obafemi Awolowo University. He built it. See, the university you're crediting the white man with was actually built by a black man in protest at the white man's neglect. Note how the colonialists only set up a 'commisssion' to 'look into' the possibility of establishing universities a year before they were to relinquish power. Why didn't they do this in 1922? Or 1932? We would have been a more experienced nation in terms of learning, governance, technology etc today. In South Africa they set up the first universities as early as the 1890s!! Many more in the 1910s and 1920s. And you're wondering why South Africa is more developed than Nigeria. This is why we say you need to assess these things from a historical perspective, or you'll just see things on a surface level, and walk around feeling inferior to other nations and races, whom you think are ''doing better'' than you.

University of Ibadan was known as University College Ibadan, a collegiate attachment to the University of London. It granted University of London degrees! It wasn't a full fledged university until after independence in 1962.

University of Nigeria Nsukka was founded in October 7 1960 by the Eastern Region govt led by Dr Nnamdi Azkikiwe, AFTER independence. There was no full fledged Nigerian university until African rule was established.

Those buildings aren't the problem with Nigeria, the environment is.

Dusty, ill constructed side walks or non at all in most cases. No sense of landscaping, open drains (who told them gutters were a thing of beauty to be exposed), that sand that's always by the roadside (where do they keep comin from?), indiscriminate setting up of shanties and shops by illiterates with no idea of beauty or order, dirty citizens littering the whole place etc Contribute to that persistent "third world" appearance of almost everywhere in Nigeria.

The people too have a large part to play in creating a better environment.

To those criticizing Nigeria, do you throw trash onto the roads and in drains or seek out trash cans to dispose them??

The problem is the construction materials are not made in Nigeria which makes money and jobs leave the country. We need to build these factories in Nigeria or Africa.

ROSSIKE:


Name the construction materials you're referring to pls.
