There are people who actually think that Britain put Nigeria on a path for success.

They don't understand that Nigeria was run as a business for the benefit of stake holders as opposed to the inhabitants.

No it wasn't. Nigeria was an underdeveloped, deprived hellhole under the whites. A footpath led to your village under the whites. Today under the blacks a tarred road leads to it, filled with cars.

For those of us who used Lacombes text book.

Octaves:
We had a running rail system, better power supply, well maintained roads, standard schools and hospitals, jobs for graduates, town planning with pipe borne water reaching all homes in urban areas. Once they left, All these deteriorated to the extent that a typical naija city is one filled with illegal road side shacks and little planning. Roads have to in a state of total disrepair before they are repaired. Schools and hospitals became substandard. The rail system was shut down entirely. Go to any post office in the country and see dilapidation. Corruption percolated through and became the norm of every institution, organisation even at grass root level. These are facts. If we had sustained the rate of growth we had then, we would have been on the same level as UAE, Quatar and some EU countries. I'm not saying they were perfect or didnt exploit us, but their administration was more efficient and effective.
