You got that right

The benin Empire(like the roman empire)......Is DEAD, the earlier you accept the better.

Ask those that lived during the British rule, Nigeria was better.

Better how? Was there light? Name one power plant the British built. Just one.

Small boy talking rubbish.

If they put you in 1950s Nigeria under British rule, you couldn't survive 30 minutes.

aw did our parents survived?

aw did our parents survived?

Our parents/grandparents survived by farming, hunting, and tapping palm wine, or by working as bricklayers, tailors, and clerks.

Only after independence did universities emerge which helped to create the large middle and upper classes of today.

The British ruled from 1897 to 1963. What did they do with all the money they made from exporting our resources in that period? Was Nigeria not an underdeveloped country with near-zero infrastructure at independence?

If the British are as good as you say, what stopped them from developing Nigeria when they were here? You need to use your brain instead of reasoning like a kid. NOBODY will develop your land for you. And most certainly not merely because their skin is white. It has to be in their interests before they do it. If it is not, they won't. In this world it is all about INTERESTS.

Don't just think ''Oh they are white. Their country is developed, so if they rule us they will also develop our country''. The world doesn't work in such simple terms.

Go and study the meaning of, and rationale behind colonialism. It has nothing to do with making your life better, but with making the colonialist country's life better, through the direct extraction and sale of your resources, and the deposit of proceeds in the colonialist's country.

That is the whole idea of colonialism. To enrich the colonialist's nation. So calling for them to return and rule is absolutely senseless and misguided..

so, why did u say someone wont survive 30mins then?

see, the way u're propagating the brits is far beyond what they truly are. true, they were our colonial masters, and they have to treat us like their servants then. they didn't do this for us, they didn't do that for us is uncalled for. u don't expect a colonial master to give u all the necessary infrastructure u need.

no, I'm not calling them back. I cant even call them back. I only countered ur assertion of saying someone wont live up to 30mins.

I count it as a jest anyway.

shervydman:

u made sense here.......

Thank you. So, like I tell people, corruption REDUCED after independence. Before independence, at least 90% of our annual revenue went straight to London. After independence, the figure siphoned came closer to 30% under Nigerian rule. Which freed up money for all the infrastructure we built after independence, including thousands of schools, universities, roads, power plants, stadia, hospitals etc.

The reason Nigeria was underdeveloped at independence was because of the grand corruption of the British from 1897-1960, by their exporting our resources and siphoning the income to Britain.

We are suffering from internal colonialism. Nigeria's useless corrupt leaders have colonised the docile slaves that occupy this geographical area.

Oil wealth meant benefit 180 million people has been cornered by the various leaders and shared among their family friends(Indimi),wife hairdressers(Alakija) and concubines.

Nigeria is witnessing the greatest theft ever experienced my any civilisation by it's leaders at Federal,State and Local goverment level. At least if the British were here they would have developed the railways and given us 24 hour electricity.

ladies and gentlemen, please tell me if the accident figures below is as a result of colonialism, government or if Nigerians themselves are to be blamed. the government did build roads, even if the roads are bad people should drive "according to road conditions" - is the average Nigerian mad? The black man has proven that they are animals that need strong handed governance. even when UK was visa free Nigerians started abusing it. If you are on a plane to Nigeria, all the flights will be good once you get on the final leg to Nigeria, all manner of problems arises. anyway look at the official govt stats below and tell me who is to blame... is it not the Nigerian who is unable to govern himself - howcome other countries less developed than Nigeria hv better road stats.

The National Bureau of Statistics on Monday said Nigeria recorded 1,279 deaths in 2,503 road crashes in the second quarter of this year.

The NBS in its road transport report which was made available to our correspondent blamed speed violation as a major reason for the road crashes.

This, it added, accounted for 44.4 per cent of the total road accident during the period.

It said loss of control and dangerous driving followed closely as they both accounted for 12.92 per cent and 8.06 per cent of the total road crashes recorded.

The report reads in part, “A total of 8,270 Nigerians got injured in the road traffic crashes recorded. 7,805 of the 8,270 Nigerians that got injured, representing 94 per cent of the figure, are adults while the remaining 465 Nigerians, representing six per cent of the figure are children.

“6,217 male Nigerians, representing 75 per cent, got injured in road crashes in Q2 while 2,053 female Nigerians, representing 25 per cent, got injured.

“Similarly, a total of 1,279 Nigerians got killed in the road traffic crashes recorded in Q2. 1,207 of the 1,279 Nigerians that got killed, representing 94 per cent of the figure, are adults while the remaining 72 Nigerians, representing six per cent of the figure are children.

“1,022 male Nigerians, representing 80 per cent, got killed in road crashes in Q2 while 257 female Nigerians, representing 20 per cent got killed.”

The report put the vehicle population in Nigeria as of the second quarter at 11,506,863.

It said with the total population of the country currently at 193,392,517, Nigeria’s vehicle per population ratio is now 0.06.

Further breakdown from the category of vehicles involved in road crashes in the second quarter showed that 58.59 per cent or 2,363 are commercial, 40.22 per cent or 1,622 are private, 1.14 per cent or 46 are government and the remaining two belonged to diplomats.

It said the Federal Capital Territory recorded the highest number of road crashes in the second quarter. This, it added, was closely followed by Kaduna and Niger states while Borno and Bayelsa states recorded the least.

Exactly... and they would have brought basic civility...

pls read my last post... and tell me how looting is related to poor discipline on the road. Canada has one of the worst weathers in the world yet we don't see people driving nonsense....

Let us be honest and stop giving excuses. that high number of accidents occurred because the average Nigerian is a reckless driver.... so how can Nigeria get better?

Lets stop blaming leaders.

Something is def wrong with the ppl. Even federal road safety (not me!) recently recommended psychiatric evaluation for road traffic offenders.

Black man swallow ur pride be humble and let us make Nigeria a British Overseas Territory.

100% supported.Blacks are incapable of self rule if not point let any point out any African country that is prosperous.

Zimbabwe which was formerly called Rhodesia was a rich country but after d expulsion of the whites it is so poor even hunger in d land after white farmers were evicted.

Uganda was also quite prosperous but after Idi Amin expelled all d whites and Indians Uganda has since remained poor.

South Africa has made so much unrivaled advancement thanks to d presence of the whites.

If the US,Uk and France have foreign overseas territory like the Falkland Island Nigeria should be an overseas territory.We would be better off.

You have just hit the pride of many who will come to harass or insult you. Perhaps this is where the white folks are better namely: results and responsibility over ego and pride and vain glory.

Go to YouTube type Patrick Brown and watch a few videos and see how responsible govt are run.

Then go to any developed country and see how ppl behave u will see why naija is how it is.

Enter any Lagos bound flight from Europe, people start to insult the air hostesses, ask them for their phone numbers, fight u for tilting ur seat back and people exchanging insults.

Surely it's not just the government.... we need a cultural diffusion.

So what is your point? I have told you we can learn from the British, but believing you need them to rule you directly is something they have always wanted you to believe, go read the quotes of your Colonial Masters.
Nigerians are not even patriotic, from the elite to the common man, it's all man for himself, so how do you expect things to work in such a nation? Would the British rule suddenly make us patriotic with a love for the nation and ability to plan ahead? The problem with Nigeria is not that we are not good enough to even outsmart your British lords, but that the youths do not love the nation, rather than constructive criticism, action, and more involvement from the youth, what we see is baseless agitation and unproductive wailings which only slow us down.
