YelloweWest:No power shortages? So where did the power come from? All our power plants were built after independence. Mostly in the 1970s and 80s. The 'elders' you spoke to are nostalgic for the silence, idleness and peace wrought by mass poverty and rural illiteracy which characterised the colonial period. |

olayinks007:It is you who is dead. Nigeria is very much alive. Today, Nigerians are manufacturing cars, buses, SUVs, computers, and mobile phones. Nigerian-built satellites hover in outer space right now as we speak. Name one industry under the colonial era. |

BankManager: That was a fun place to go, as you will enjoy taking the escalator upstairs, just for the fun of it and also window shop. They also had one of the best Christmas grotto back then and you were sure of receiving a gift from Santa. SAP economic program under IBB really killed Kingsway Stores and it's counterpart then, Leventis Stores, as the readily available forex in the second tier market enabled Balogun traders and other smart business people to undertake importation of goods and commodities which found their ways to newly formed local supermarket chains. Sadly, Kingsway and Leventis stores could not compete with the local supermarkets because of their high overheads. 1 Like |

Baroba: The Holy book in the book of Ecclesiastic, I think, advised that men should not long for the past, through their voicing the thought that the past was better. The past had its own problems, for example during the colonial times, you had little or no rights as an individual. There was a law against wandering which was targeted at native Nigerians. You could be jailed back then for more than three months if you were found wandering in an area like old Ikoyi, which was the exclusively reserved for the white colonial overlords. An anonymous Latin American freedom fighter was quoted as saying: 'Man is not just a stomach alone, but above all he hungers for dignity and respect'. We might have some goodies under colonial rule, but the human spirit can never be happy under a system of governance that was humiliating and curtailed most form of human freedom. |

Ademat7: I do not agree. The whites have no business with all the billions our senseless politicians are stealing. When they fix something for you, you are expected to maintain it. If you go to ebutte meta and sabo, you'll still see some old buildings the white constructed. Many of them are not looking so nice because the idi.ots living in then now did not maintain the houses. Look at most of the second hand cars imported from Europe or USA, a car they have used for a year or more still looks very clean that when you bring it to nigeria, people think it's brand new. Drive the same car for about six months in Nigeria and see how it will look. |

Ademat7: Bro Europeans have left Africa and back in their countries. Is the white man stopping us from having steady power supply? Are they stopping us from constructing good roads and doing simple things as filling up pot holes? Are they stopping us from.using our brain to stay and spend money in our country instead of always travelling to their country to.buy houses and to shop for clothes? A lot of Nigerians wear very expensive designer clothes and any of them buy these clothes abroad. Even when you bring these luxury stores to open in Nigeria, majority of our senseless and low self esteemed people will still prefer to travel to dubai, UK or US to.buy just to show class and show off. We should stop putting blames on white people. They have really tried for us. The white man is not our president, governors, commissioners, LG chairmen who are stealing our money. No white man is under developing nigeria. Many of us are just greedy and stupi.d black monkeys. 4 Likes |

Zane2point4: What truth are you talking about? That we didnt abandon our dressing for the white mans? We are satisfied with and proud of our dressing. When the need arises, we may dress in shirts and suits but those will never replace our traditional wears. We dont relegate our traditional wears to become only ceremonial. please tell me, from the pictures posted there, what and what do you think we should change? |

Sagay212: First of all, you clearly have a racial inferiority complex to call yourself and your family ''black monkeys''. That is something that only a therapist can cure you of. But to say the whites have ''really tried for us'' is to misrepresent history. And I will not let you do that. The whites came to Africa to LOOT the continent. That was why you inherited nothing from your grandparents. Or great-grandparents. They were village illiterates, despite the fact that the whites exported our resources - cocoa, groundnuts, tin, rubber, palm oil, iron ore, coal, in large quantities yearly between 1897 and 1960. By all measurements, Nigeria should have been a reasonably developed nation at independence. Not an undeveloped bush with near zero infrastructure. Not even a power grid. You can complain about the inefficiency of our post colonial govts, and how some of the roads have pot holes etc, but how many roads at all were built by the whites? Name one expressway they built. We have power cuts today? What about NO POWER AT ALL as was the case during colonialism, for over 95% of the population? IN FACT, IF THE WHITES WERE AS FANTASTIC AS YOU CLAIM, WHY DID WE EVEN NEED TO START FROM SCRATCH BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND SCHOOLS AFTER THEY LEFT? HADN'T THE SUPER WHITE ANGELS RULED FOR 63 YEARS NON STOP? MAKING MONEY OFF OUR RESOURCES? WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT? WHY DID THEY NOT DEVELOP THE COUNTRY? WHY WAS NIGERIA NOT AN EL DORADO AT INDEPENDENCE? Fact is corruption REDUCED DRASTICALLY after independence. That is why we have the country we have today, with some reasonable infrastructure here and there. Prior to independence 90% or more of our export earnings were sent straight to London. When Nigerians took over, that fell to maybe 30%, which was why we were able to start building things like roads, bridges, flyovers, hospitals, universities, power plants, and all the other things we have today. SO WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT WE ARE MUCH BETTER OFF UNDER BLACK RULE THAN WE EVER WERE UNDER WHITE RULE. THANKS. |

Rossikki: So it was you that built the roads and schools where your useless leaders enjoyed free education? Mr Man stop blaming the whites for you problems. They have left you long ago and you are still in the same place they left you. No progress no nothing. We are not better off after independence. You can continue to console and deceive yourself with the low self esteem nonsense. You wanted independence and you got it and couldn't achieve anything reasonable. |
