How Nigeria Was Programmed By Their Colonial Masters by Nobody: 9:33am On Dec 01, 2015
If Nigeria is an Operating system it can only run on the java platform. Nigeria takes what ever that is given to it and never looked back or accept calls or instruction from people behind and can not be integrated into an upgraded programs.

The Colonial Masters came to Nigeria with fancyfull product such as mirrors, ornaments and some decorated animals and they used these Item to buy Nigeria. History has it that Umuahia in Abia state was bught by the british colonies with just a decorated horse from the then traditional ruler of the environment. Many other Items were purchased from Nigeria with just a mirror that the gods used to communicate to the people. Nigeria became consumers and left off being producers that they used to be.

Nigeria was programmed to be consummers of foreign products while exchanging such with unquantifiable raw produce that they toiled very hard to achieve. All Nigeria ever knew is trade by batter. They can not use the raw material available at their disposal to produce something they need to consume. These happened centuries ago and it is still happening now. Nigeria must be running on the Java platform. The same yesterday, today and forever.



Sweet crude is falling and it exchange rate has become too low that the our colonial masters are receiving it for almost without price while the consumable products produced from our sweet crude kept incresing in price without cause. How can this be possible.

Nigeria is drifting to centuries back when a vast land as large as a local government was bught with a single horse. The market value of products from Nigeria has fallen so low that our neighbouring African countries come in, takes them for a price of about free and make some changes and exchange them with a huge amount. The cocoa, Crude Oil, Groundnut, Palm Canel, Rubber, Yam and other Agricultural products are taken from Nigeria and transformed to finished product and then exchange it to us at a price they won't accept to pay even when they are bouyant enough to pay.

If Nigeria can be likened to a phone, their is nothing we can do about this attitude of consumption without a drive to production and consumption of our produce. Java is a forward ever program that can not be altered or changed. That is why Nigeria is the way it is.

A fracture may be the only alernative we've got. Then each group that want to continue on this attitude of consumption will only be risking their own produce or raw material and not that of others that want 'change'.

I am talking about the future. A crack on the operating system is just the best solution.

Nigeria is not an operating system... it is much more complex...
BTW, if Nigeria was an operating system, it would a Linux system which affords developers access to all it's API's and can be edited and programmed to achieve any desired outcome for the intended future uses depending on the skills of the programmer (good leaders)... So irrespective of what the Brits did, it is up to Nigeria to reprogram for the future.
