In recent times, I've been thinking of this. Is it that Nigeria getting her Independence on a platter of gold is a reason for her underdevelopment in many areas?

Aside ethno-religious issues, do you think like South Africa, Nigeria would have been more developed if we got our Independence later than 1960?

What's your thought?

"Those who keep their mouths shut in the face of injustice, promote oppression"

Yes we got our independence very early. If we had allowed the British guys to manage our oil boom then in addition to the agricultural and other mineral resources, I bet you Nigeria will be in competition with most advanced countries in Europe and even majority of Asia countries won't get close to us. It's unfortunate tribalism and religious differences has messed up the peace loving nature of Nigerians. If we can drop down our pride and make a matual benefiting agreement with any advance country to help develop and transfer technology to us with condition of giving them some oil products, agricultural products and maybe human resources too. Then, I am optimistic things will get better. This will require an agreed duration of time and subject to renewal if need be.

I dont think 1960 was too early for Nigeria to get its independence. Nigeria simply does not work as a nation no matter when they get independence

Not only prayers, but action too. It's alright.

That's a valid point too. Putting people of different cultureal background and beliefs is pointless. The northern region have a total different understanding to life, same with the southern region and if one want's to be fair they are both right in their own understanding. The northern region is so blessed with natural and mineral resources. They can also sustain themselves with tourism too. If they can dash the eastern region any area they are not in need off, the eastern region will be grateful to them. Politics of bitterness and peppe eye is also one of the factors responsible for backwardness of the country.

These are the kind of self defeatist people you should avoid if you want to be successful in life.

People that easily give up and never work to get better ever in their lives. Avoid these people at all cost, lest they bring you down with them.

1980 was the better Time


Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Azikiwe should have gone to Bukingham Palace in 1959
to Postrate in front of Queen Elizabeth of England and begged her not to Leave her Nigerian Children on their own

But Jesus Christ can still Correct the mistake

Funniest thing was that Ahmadu Bello said the North was not yet ready for Independence
but with hindsight all Nigeria wasn't ready

Nigeria has had independence for 61 years and not worked. Things have only gone from bad to worse. Only a fool carries on with something that has not worked in 60 years

Nigeria does not work and its time to talk about disintegration

Like I’ve said before, all you have done is talk, enough talk. Go and disintegrate Nigeria.

No it was not ...but not listening to wilinks commison is why we are here

The 10 regions he recommended would have been perfect ...but awolowo ,zik ,and hello all wanted to consolidate power ...that's where we got it wrong

10 regions each semi independent with own security system n controlled their resources. Is the key to better nigeria ...that's if it's not too late

Solution is go back to 1963 constitution modified with 1959 sir wilinks commison recommendation

Blatant lies. USA has people from different races, not even tribe but they are doing great. Ghana has more tribes than Nigeria. You can find out.

Abeg leave USA and Ghana alone. Every region has its own peculiar settings. The only thing making people to be one by force its just because of oil. That's why everyone wants to become a politician so as to exploit the system. The north and south have opposite view about life and its not a matter to be argued upon. I so much pray for oil discovery in the north so that they can manage it and excel like other Middle Eastern countries. The earlier we tell ourselves the truth the faster things will change for the better.

The major problem is that British try to force 3 different ethnic group with no shared history or culture. It is not normal to the eyes.

You are the one that is self defeating, because you won’t stop for a sec to analyze the problems, but just keep on trucking blindly like the horse from the animal farm.

Why is it so difficult to understand that you were conquered and forced together, not by your own will, but by the will of your conquerers?

Lol, USA was made great cause they had one main tribe/race.

The fact that they chose to assimilate others, ensuring they work towards the same goals, made them even greater.

Do you think the USA would be what it is today if they had started with 25% white, 25% African, 25% Asian, 25% Hispanic? With all of them having different cultures and wanting different things?

Do you remember the story of the Tower of Babel? Do you remember how coordinated the people were in building a tower and how they couldn’t even achieve anything once they were scattered into different languages?
