A quick definition for independence is: freedom from control or influence of another or others.
Nigeria got her independence since 1960, but yet, a 47 year old Nigeria is still not free from her indigenous oppressors.
I personally believe that Nigeria shouldn't have sought the "independence" from the British because, in the real sense, the country is not independent. We demanded freedom from the colonial masters, and here we found ourselves enslaved under our own oppressors: the fact is, if we didn't get our independence from the British, our country would have been better off, and we wouldn't have been desperate to travel out in search of greener pastures rather than for tourism.

This should be in politics i think.
Who are the indigenous oppressor?

Angibabe,
You don't need a Fela Kuti (RIP) to explain to you who the indigenous oppressors are, do you?
This topic shouldn't only be on politics, it also involves travelling, remember this is a major factor that triggers travelling abroad.

Our present Plight as a nation has nothing to do with our independence

This are only trying times for the corporate entity called Nigeria

Agreed People are are unemployed, stricken with poverty but its not only in Nigeria, go to Romania, Bulagaria, uk , Brasil the unemployment rate are the same.

Political independence has been achieved in all parts of the world only economic emanciaption is still a problem mostly in all third world countries.

If not for independence i don't know where we'll be today.

Our problems are self inflicted thus meaning it could be corrected someday.
We have leadership problems too, someday we 'll get there.

To say the least Nigeria and Nigerians are doing better,
