The World That Almost Was by Lordlo: 8:13pm On Apr 10, 2023
The sun was beating down on the sprawling savannah as the British colonialists marched into the land they would later name Nigeria. They had come with a mission to take over the land and its people, to impose their own rules and regulations, and to exploit the rich resources of the region.

The locals, however, were not about to go down without a fight. They had heard rumours of the British's previous exploits in other countries, and knew that they had to come together if they were to stand any chance of survival. The British underestimated the strength of their opponents, thinking that the differences between the various tribes would weaken their resistance. But the locals had other ideas.

As the British tightened their grip on the country, the tribes began to cooperate and work together to undermine the colonialists' attempts at control. They shared knowledge of their environment, which gave them an advantage over the foreign invaders. They also began to trade and barter with each other, something that the British had not expected.

The British were slowly losing control, and they knew it. They made attempts to regain their hold on the country, but each time they were met with fierce resistance. The locals had become wise to their tactics and had started to develop their own economic and political systems. The British's attempts to impose their own ways were futile in the face of this unity and intelligence.

As the years went by, the tribes within Nigeria became more and more powerful, both economically and politically. They began to see the benefits of working together, and their shared strength was undeniable. The British, on the other hand, were struggling to keep up.

Eventually, the locals declared their independence and took back control of their country. They knew that they had to continue working together if they were to succeed, and they did. Their unity and genius had led to the birth of a new regionally power that the world could not ignore.

The British had failed in their attempts at colonialism, but the birth of this new country had given rise to a spirit of cooperation and innovation that would go on to shape the world. It was a triumph of the human spirit and a testament to the power of unity in the face of adversity.

The newly independent Nigeria, with its newfound strength and influence, took on a leadership role within the African continent. They saw the struggle of other African countries under colonial rule and knew that they had to help. They shared their knowledge, experience, and resources with their African brothers and sisters, and encouraged them to stand up against their oppressors.

The Nigerian government, led by visionary leaders, worked tirelessly to help other countries gain their independence. They provided military aid, financial support, and diplomatic assistance to freedom fighters across the continent. Their efforts were not in vain, as one by one, African countries gained their freedom.

As more and more countries gained their independence, the African continent began to flourish. The new African countries formed a union, inspired by Nigeria's success, and worked together to build a better future for their people. They invested in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and encouraged trade and cooperation between each other.

The African union, under the leadership of Nigeria, became a beacon of hope for the continent. It brought together countries with diverse cultures and languages, and promoted unity and cooperation. The union worked to solve common problems such as poverty, disease, and conflict, and encouraged economic growth and development.

The African golden age, as it came to be known, was a time of great progress and prosperity for the continent. Africa was no longer seen as a continent in need of aid and assistance, but rather a force to be reckoned with. Its people were no longer viewed as victims, but as agents of change and progress.

Nigeria, as the leader of the African union, played a pivotal role in this new era. Its economic prowess and political leadership set the standard for the rest of the continent. The world began to take notice of Africa's potential, and investments and trade deals flowed in.

The African golden age was a testament to the power of unity and collaboration. It showed that when countries work together towards a common goal, anything is possible. And it all started with the determination and resilience of the Nigerian people in the face of colonialism.
