Please i need very honest and objective opinions

No they should not have at least not untill the late 80's and before You come and judge me here is why i think so.
-Less than 5 years after independence we went on a Bloody, senseless civil war.
-Despite being a democratic country it took us almost 40 years before we could achieve Stable democracy
- Greed and Lust For power has been primary characteristics of our leaders since independence.
-59 years after independence despite being among the richest countries on earth with numerous natural resources and with the biggest economy in africa the country still lacks basic Amenities .

I can go on and on but i felt we as a country had our freedom too early.....This is my opinion, yours might be different.
