when we gained independence sad


sadly Nigeria was never ready for independence , as you can see today millions of Nigerians if not everybody in Nigeria will take any opportunity they see to run to england (our colonial masters that we wanted to get free from) even our president prefer england to Nigeria











..so I ask myself again are we independent ?

Groundnut pyramid.



Groundnut pyramids were pyramid-like structures made from groundnut sacks.

The pyramids were built in northern Nigeriain cities such as Kano, where groundnut production was a key part of the economy.

They were viewed as both a tourist attraction and a symbol of wealth.

One groundnut pyramid could be made from as much as 15,000 full groundnut bags.

In the 1960s and 70s, as production in Nigeria shifted from agriculture to oil, the groundnut pyramids disappeared.

Recently, the Nigerian government has made efforts to revive the groundnut industry and rebuild the pyramids.

This is so heartbreaking sad

Oh damn! Now ayam pissed! I guess I was too quick to hold my fire. angry

The thing who made that stupid comment above is most likely a Wawa tout from Ebonyi. They are the Jewish almajiri of the South East that who bring scorn and ridicule to educated and peace loving Igbo Christians because their brains have been sent on permanent leave by nnamdi Kanu.

May Amadioha's dirty boxers fall on him. angry
You're no different from who you quoted by involving people from Great Ebonyi state. Grow up kid.

This just makes me feel sad. Nigeria was so serene..so beautiful. we had so much promise, and at that pace could have been a 1st world country today. Herbert Macaulay would turn in his grave. The whites left, and within 3 years we bleeped it up.

Explorers you're a blessing to nairaland. I doff my hat.
