One of the lies we use to tell ourselvesis that the British are the cause of our problems. Yes! on the surface it seems true. The slave trade, the unholy marriage of strange bed fellow, the invisible pulling of strings after independence are some of the things we quickly point to and those things are true.




However, is Great Britain behind our inability to fix our roads? Did the British stop Buhari from seeing to it that world class hospitals are built across Nigeria? having survived the shame of going abroad for almost six months to treat himself.



Did the British pad 2016 budget or are they responsible for the non implementation of the 2017 budget?



Did El-Rufai receive instruction to pay those who killed the people he swore to protect from the British?


Was it the British who instructed the National University commission (NUC) to budget a paltry sum of 8 million Naira for research?




Saudi Arabia was colonised, UAE was colonised, China was at a time colonised so the excuse of blaming a colonial master more than have a century after he left is an insult on common sense.


We need to begin to take the blame for our own failures, that is what reasonable people do.

did British stop each Nigerian from planting a cocoa or palm oil tree. that is 180 million trees. Malaysia has about 500 million trees. just 1 blinking tree per person. we're not serious at all
