If you've been following now you should know that we have no elections in Nigeria, we have selections.

Election Selection same thing. Do white people have anything to do with the selection process?

Quote
They had parliamentary elections and Alhaji Tafewa Balewa's party emerged winners so he was Prime Minister while Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was appointed the President. There were Nigerians already serving in Government long before independece!

Who did the legislative from the parliamentary consist of, more blacks or more whites? who made up or chose whom would participate in the legislative?

Na curse?. . . I don't have to go out of my way to prove anything to anyone. I'll be myself, original Donzman and it will be obvious to every D!ck and Harry that I'm a Nigerian. You should ask those who know me, I don't try to act like something I'm not. What kind of character assasination is this?. . . You be Nairaland IBB?

If you don't feel like you have to prove anything, don't say things like "I get up and try to act in a way that shows I am not a savage" In effort to support your argument.

If you know you are not a savage and you know your people are not a savage people and you really believe that, Don't go about tying to prove it and certainly don't say that Nigerians made their self look bad by doing what they did. Don't say that if they didn't give the media the opportunity to film them acting savage the media would not have not filmed them. When you say things like that you don't seem very proud of where you came from and who you are. If you were in the position those same Nigerians were in, you don't know what you might have done. That is why we should not judge each other.

I can't assassinate anything that was put it self into question.

Like I said, you are one of the so called lucky Nigerians who got a so called opportunity to leave Nigeria and go live abroad in an attempt to better yourself. Everyone does not want to get as lucky as you and every one who would like to be as lucky as you will not get that so called opportunity. Shit happens.

Politicians participated in parliament I suppose. It was mostly Nigerians I think but they had the queen as supreme ruler (this was like 20-15 years before independence).

How am I supposed to know?. . . I'm not a politician, nowadays its Nigerians that select who they want to rule. Whatever outside influences, Donzman does not know.

There are other Nigerians living in Nigeria who are in better situations compared to me. Again, not every Nigerian wants to leave the country. Some people have things going for them there, that you do not get yet!

You suppose? You think? I think you should find out a lot of things if you don't know about who is behind the selection process. White people didn't come to colonize Africans for all of those years just to turn around and give up their rulership.

I am aware of that, that is why I made it a point to say that everyone does not want to get as lucky as you. Implication being, they found a way to make it by staying in Nigeria and not moving out abroad. Just like you say, if C/A's can come to America and do well, so can AA people do well in America. I feel that if that is the case, just like those Nigerians who stayed in Nigeria and did well, you could have done the same thing but you chose to leave Nigeria and that was your choice.  Maybe you thought it would be easier to become a success if you left Nigeria  Undecided

That was in response to the people who made up the parliament before independence. The election and selection is mostly Nigerian, Alhajis that took off their Khakis for Agbadas choose who they want to lead and who they don't. I don't think whites have much choice in it. . . If they did, we won't have Muslims being the top contenders for the presidency in '07.

By the way, I didn't leave Nigeria. I carry a Nigerian passport and that is the only passport I own. I'm here for school, I don't have any wealth to lean on and I'm not a good singer/dance/footballer. My best bet is to use my brains to succeed, that is where my talent is. I plan on going back to Nigeria A.S.A.P.

You would have Muslims being the top contenders if you wish to make the already quarreling amongst Nigerians even worst. It is called keeping up the divide and conquer rule. Like I said, you need to study and find out as much as you can about Nigerian government before and after colonialism, you will be surprised about your nice white folk.

You have to use your brains to sing, dance and football baby, you really need to stop with the light weight negative judgments. Also, the education already present in Nigeria should have been enough. I don't see who foreign land education is what is considered the best for a place that is predominately black and allegedly ran by blacks. I don't get it at all. I see back door action, white back door action. You call it all in my head all you want to but Sista know what white folks are capable of. C/A's were colonized by white people AA people were not only colonized they were also enslaved. Implication being AA people know and are pretty much very familiar with all of the evil, sneaky, and subtle acts of white people.

Yeah there were good schools in Nigeria if I was lucky enough to grow up in the 60's, 70's, 80's or even early 90's. No sane person will argue that Nigerian universities are better than Western schools.

That's false. Choosing a muslim does not make any tribal sentiments worse, it actually appeases both sides. Obasanjo is a Southerner and it is only in the name of "fairness" that his successor should be a Northerner. I honestly don't know any Southerner who is legitimately upset that they're probably not going to be president. So the zoning thing actually defeats your reasoning Sista, it helps keep the peace.

So you think those types of talents are lucky talents eh? Musicians happen to be very intelligent and good in mathematics. One has to acquire a good instinct to play ball and that instinct is a great amount of practice and will power, the will power comes from a deep concentration which requires discipline.

Donzman allow me to tell you that you are very wrong here, to be able to sing and dance, you have to be intelligent to that because you are mostly creating things that does not exist [ie you are creating things from nothing], somebody could study economics or law, to me that person can not automatically qualify as an intelligent person, he only has good memory to sturdy those things and remember them [he could only be inteligent in the way he applies the principles he learned], but an intelligent person is the person that created all those principles you have to learn in those curses or the guys that wrote all the text books you have to learn to graduate in those curses, so respect creativity when you see  them, cause is the creative people that did all the things that matters on this planet, any course you could do, without the creative minds believe me it wont be in existence, the only difference is that some people has a very unusual level of creativity.

These are people that were able to apply the principles they learned in a very creative manner, what about people like Pythagoras or newton that created this principles, if you say that somebody that bought a car ''gbuluozu'' what about the person that made a car, I would prefere to aspire towards the level of the person that made a car, and that is what we lack as a bunch of people.

I'm actually serious 99% of the time when I'm in the political section of Nairaland. You just said I contradicted myself in this thread and I honestly do not see it. If the contradiction was obvious you could have pointed it out without much ado.

All I've said is that there are religious tensions in Nigeria and the leaders choose to switch leadership in a manner that will curb the tensions. For some reason, you view that as contradictory, Ok I suppose!

@Drusiliar

I said that the British rule was GREAT for Nigeria and Drusilla goes of tangent saying we LOVED it. Just because it was GREAT does not mean we will love it and prefer it over indigenous leadership which we all thought was going to be great at that time. As great as the British rule was, we felt indigenous leadership would have been even greater. Just trying to clarify that for Drusilla so she doesn't go around drawing false conclusions.

Donzman,

So in 1851 the British entered Nigeria to stop the slavery going on in there. And this rule to 1960 was just great for Nigeria?

Have you looked at what the British left in Nigeria after 109 years?
