AntiNigerian:If there was no Nigeria, definitely your parents would never have met to conceive you, in order words without Nigeria, you wouldn’t have even existed in the first instance to support this nonsense illogical reasoning, in blaming Lord Frederick Lugard for your failure a 100 years after the officer of the British Empire had been deceased. No wonder you are a failure in society, anyone with this myopic sense of reasoning must definitely be a Failure without any shadow of a doubt. |

Lord lugard wasn't actually the problem, the British left a constitution that catapulted Nigeria to one of the fastest growing economy in the world, the derailment started when awolowo initiated the wild wild west saga, while fighting akintola, who he believed had a lighned with Nigerians from other ethnic groups, capping it up with sponsoring of the first coup de etat through banjo. Secondly, when it was time for the military to hand over in 1999, abdulsalami handed us the 1999 constitution, In this constitution, the legislative, the executive and the judiciary were the three arms of government, while the legislative members are elected, leaders of executive are also elected, sounds cool eh, no, it's crap, the devil is in the details. 1) The head of the body that' s incharge of the election, inec, is appointed the president, instead of bipartisan commission as is done in modern democracy, thus the acronym, independent electoral commission, INEC, becomes useless, and ends up handing the legislature to the president. 2) The chief justice, who is the head of judiciary is appointed by the president, instead of the national judicial commission, thus it's impossible to defeat the president in election or court, if he or she chooses to manipulate the system What this means is that the 1999 constitution handed the legislative and judiciary over to the executive, making the government, a one arm government. Thus, if the president is sincere, inec can hold credible elections, if the president is a criminal, then Nigerians are finished, and their votes won't count and they can't change a bad government, it will even be impossible to change a useless and incompetent president, after he rigs himself in, if you like bring evidence from heaven, the court will denied you justice, no matter how glaring the evidence is. 4 Likes

This is very Hypocritical coming from Azikiwe’s Children When Awolowo in the 1950s requested that a Secession Clause be added to the Constitution Sardauna supported him Go and find out the extent to which Azikiwe went to keep it out of the Constitution 15 Likes 4 Shares |

Christistruth03: Secession clause was as a result of insincerity and complete lack of nationalism on awolowos behalf, he destroyed the country by sponsoring the first coup, led by banjo through whom he financed nzeogwu, ifeajuna, ademoyega, banjo himself and their lieutenants, the coup was majorly foiled by ojukwu fajuyi and agu ironsi. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ifeajuna who was Azikiwe’s Onitsha Kinsman and Cousin led the first Coup He must have also leaked it to Azikiwe who left the country beforehand because it was only his Own Political kinsmen and leaders that came out of the deadly Coup Massacre unscathed in What later became clear was actually an Ethnic Cleansing Campaign that they had tagged a coup 4 Likes 1 Share |

Christistruth03: In other words, Zik was more powerful tyan Awolowo and Saduana, and decided what would enter tye Nigerian constitution? By the way, if you did not need a secession clause to create Nigeria, why do you need secession clause to do away with Nigeria? It only remain for them to say you need secession clause to breath air 1 Like 1 Share |

gidgiddy: Let Azikiwe reply you himself By Nnamdi Azikiwe When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual." https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2020/10/01/nigeria-at-60-why-azikiwe-opposed-secession/amp/ 2 Likes 1 Share

jude79: Fastest what? You’re very stupid. Name me ONE industry the British built in Nigeria. In fact Name me ONE power plant they built. Did they complete a single university in their time here, despite ruling and exporting our resources for a century? CAPITAL NO. Ewu fastest economy. The thieves came and looted and robbed the nation blind for a century, enriching their country and queen, and you are here talking slave crap. Were it not for independence in 1960, following which schools and other infrastructure began to be built en masse by Nigerian leaders, you would have been an illiterate hunter or palmwine tapper in the village like your grandpa under colonialism. I just don’t know how the British managed to brainwash you people like this, to the point of seeing them as angels after they impoverished and robbed you blind for a century.

Catapault: Yes among the fastest growing economy in the world between 1960 to 1967, it then started reaping the fruit of oil in the 70s, but 3 sinister things happened between 1967 to 80 these was when the seed of failures were planted in Nigeria 1) Gowon abolished regional government, he created states and started unitary government, meanwhile calling Nigeria federal government of Nigeria, exactly opposite of what it means, go and verify. 2) experienced managers of multinationals and civil service, who were of biafran extraction were either demoted or outrightly sacked, this started the collapse of civil service and multinationals, they were replaced by newly recruited inexperienced poorly trained managers, took who instituted corruption and bribe taking, without knowing the consequencies of their action 3) indigenization policy, just like it happened in Zimbabwe, when Mugabe government retrieved land from white zimbaweans and handed it to black zimbaweans, without first assimilating blacks into modern agricultural practices and management, this resulted into the complete collapse of zimbawean economy then, in somewhat similar scenario, indigenization forcefully mandated multinational firms to handover 51% stake to nigerians, these led to an Exodus of majority of these multinational companies, cutting off Nigeria from international technological experience and advancement, the ones that remained crashed their shares and sold to Nigerians to beat the deadline, Nigerians were given loans from funds obtained by stripping biafrans off their deposits, leaving only 20 pounds each for biafrans, these new Nigerian owners of such multinationals became rich overnight, and started owambe party, by 2015 20% of such multinationals had collapsed and left, from 2015 to 2023, 65% had left making it 85%, soaring unemployment collapse of the naira and crashed economy is the only legacy Nigerians have now, no amount of tufiakwa and insult can change what had happened and the resultant effects. 1 Like 1 Share |
