Kekereekun123: What is wrong with having 10000 countries in Africa? If that is what works for we Africans who have always untied along our tribal lines, what makes it wrong to do so? And in any case, the truth is that if we separate ourselves today, we will only go on to form stronger alliances with those we truly identify with. Ambazonia with Cross River and Awka Ibom, Yorubas with Togo and Benin, North East and West with Chad and Niger, and the same process all over Africa. |

KanuSE: I have, and to be honest, Nigeria had the 'appearance of riches' before the oil boom. Yes, things looked good....for chaps living in the cities. In the 1960's and 70's the government spent a lot of the income on the city dwelling educated elite because they were the ones going to build up the country. And there were enough jobs because between 1960-80 we were replacing the white people. That's why it appeared we were rich. If you lived in the rural areas, you were poor (There was no power in my village till 2006....and that includes the good old days of the 1960's and 70's. If things were that good, my village should have had light.) From 1980 onward, the number of educated graduates was higher than the economy's ability to find jobs for them. Add the fact that oil prices crashed in 1982, the guaranteed agricutural markets in the UK were no longer there from the 1970's (New Zealand too lost those guaranteed agric markets in the 1970's as well, largely because the UK was going through severe financial difficulties)..and that's when problems started. We should have changed the basis of our economy, from being resource dependent to either industries or intellectual driven (New Zealand became something of a tech hub, though they went through some tough times). Instead we kept on being resource dependent, and this time oil was our new drug. In a way we agree. Bad leadership wrecked Nigeria. Where we disagree is how. You think it is 'in how they used the money only' . I think it is also a large function of 'how the money is made in the first place' too. 1 Like 1 Share |

SmartyPants: Not exactly 1.Malaysia and Indonesia are not exactly idylls of unity. Malaysia has divisions. Indonesia has divisions including a separatist movement in Aceh that ended only when the 2004 tsunami wiped out most of the rebel side. Both countries also have tribalist issues. eg massive discrimination against their chinese populations. 2.India is also 'better' somewhat...and it has separatist movements, issues between Hindus and Muslims and a host of other issues. The main difference is 'is the country dependent on manufacturing vs dependency on resources.'. The more dependent on manufacturing a country is, the more likely it is to be 'better'...because for the manufacturing to work, things must work. |

THIS HISTORIC PHOTOS WERE NEVER RELEASED TO NIGERIAN. But just recently we are getting to know more about the Lord Lugard and his colonial administration. |

My honest question: Please, did the south freely give their consent for the amalgamation, or were they coerced to do so? I mean, hope there weren't duress in the process of amalgamation |

We keep fighting for illegally created countries built on bloodshed. The White man illegally came to our lands and forged countries. We need to ratify the agreement to be a nation. This applies to most African countries. Otherwise, we are admitting White Supremacy. 1 Like |

Ur really spewing trash. Who are you referring to "YOU PEOPLE" you can be more specific. Strength in number u say. The fast growing nations across the globe is doing fine blc of their population? Ghana, Madagascar etc that encourage and invest in the well being of their citizens I hope their population is is the determinant? There is strength in number when all have common goal and United in order to achieve that. What do u have here? Amalgamation of Nigeria was the biggest mistake ever in this country period.

kikero: Ya, I am saying, when you bring together disunited people plus abundant resources (leading to resource dependency), what do you think will happen? The natural tendency to scramble for resources along partisan lines will be heightened. Not so? Emiratis are resource-dependent with no problems for example. So resource dependency is not the only issue. |

We are crying for the unifications of Africa, yet most people want dismemberment of the only nation that has the largest populations of black men. I weep for my people |

SmartyPants: The problem with Nigeria is that we think the resources are 'enough' which is why even splitting up the country won't change anything...plus there is the risk of fighting breaking out for control of any resources. |

rottencorpse: Although i don't like that Fulani Brit called Frederick Lugard. Why should historical monuments as such be allowed to rot away. What have our leaders been doing Why are there no laws put in place to protect these things Are our leaders that dumb.. fr A people without history can never go forward. All over Europe and Asia and other parts of the world there are structures over hundreds and even thousands of years that are not just standing but still very functional. The Colosseum - Ancient Rome 1,950 years Parthenon - Ancient Greece 2,466 years Leaning tower- Pisa Italy 847 years Eiffel tower - Paris France 133 years Pantheon - Rome Italy 1,894 years St Peter's basilica - Vatican City 514 years Sistine chapel - Vatican City 547 To name a few.. but ordinary how many years here the authorities in charge just dey office collect positions and eat money without making good use of their dead brains. Our own just dey our body oo. Na we dey do ourselves 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kekereekun123: You don’t know what you’re saying. Malaysia and Singapore were together and they went separate ways now they are progressing. UAE was brought together by their own monarch in mutual understanding and no colonial power was involved. Mention one country brought together by colonial power that is now successful. |

kikero: If we split obviously, the question of resource dependency becomes far removed from the majority of regions except South-South. Underlying this is my notion that the split should form at least four new countries. The North will have to go back to their agriculture or creating a new mining industry. There is a wealth of mineral resources in the north that have been ingored. The South-West will focus on service-based industrialization alongside conventional industrialization which is already happening The South-East will do the same with a reverse focus on conventional industrialization and subsidiary focus on service-based industries South-South will be the only resource-dependent nation. |
