A simple and elegant building. The british gave us independence too soon. They shuld hav waited longer a little bit b4 handing over to us. Perhaps by now we wuld hav had strong institutions and technological advancements like southafrica. Because the level of development they left us with, is what we are still battling to keep up with till today. SMH

You're a "house negro."

Unlike the Lugard House in Lokoja, situated inside the Kogi State Government House, where Lord Lugard lived, and a similar house now used as the Kogi State Ministry of Culture and Tourism, where Lugard and his team used as office, the Old Residence in Calabar was used as both office and residence.

Southern Nigeria was ready for independence, long before 1960.

It's the north that did not want independence in 1960 because they were not ready.

He's just dumb.

He has no understanding of Nigerian or British history and so he believes that Britain had good intentions towards the lands that it occupied.

Calabar is NOT a no man's land. It's the land of the Efik people

ROSSIKE:
You are ignorant and slave-minded. The British ruled you for 63 years and in that period exported your resources worth billions in today's money. Yet they built not one power plant, not one expressway, not one university, not one single major industry, not one single major hospital, and left you with a national literacy rate of 10%. That figure is today 74% courtesy of black leadership and their building of thousands of schools after independence. Considering the underdeveloped state they left you in after an uninterrupted 63 year rule, it amounts to unfathomable foolishness to suggest an extended colonial reign. Kindly desist from posting such slavish nonsense here, and thank your lucky stars for independence, without which you would have been a butt-scratching village carpenter, tailor, or farmer like your colonial era grandparents.

With all the noise u've succeeded in making, then how is southafrica who got independence in the nineties betta dan us who had independence 63 years ago. Who developed southafrica? Do you know that wen the british gave us independence, our economy then was very strong hence our strong currency comparable to britain and d US. So what monumental achievements have we rily attain since independence. Our institution can not be compared to southafrica. Rather its looting everywhere.
