By the river Babylon and there we cry when we remember Zion!

Lalasticlala Kindly take this to the promised land so people can see what promise this country held before greed, nepotism and religious bigotry destroyed all. Imagine the government of Northern Nigeria owned piggeries which produced sausages. Cattle were being transported in train coaches down south meaning they didn't have to be herded by road causing clashes with farmers. We were even producing and exporting sausages.

There was indeed a country.

Look at the way Nigeria looked clean and peaceful.
Take a look at Nigeria now and you would wanna share tears

This was before Buhari and his coup planning friends turned a once vibrant economy to what it is today. The good old days before Bubu plunged Nigeria into recession.

Buhari and his brothers keep spoiling Nigeria to this day.

Yahoo boys and politicians are the "big men" now

Seeing all this just increased my call for restructuring, let all the states develop at their own pace, and see massive development

is too late... they country will get better if divided

Kick an illiterate Buhari out>> vote in technocrats with proven track records like Duke/Adesina

I know we discovered oil around that period.
But I still maintain that the discovery of oil made us lazy.

That was shortly after the whites left us. blacks are savages.

Oil was discovered in 1956. Centralisation of government brought us here.

Driving a Ferrari today and working at an abattoir. Such was life.

Life was easier then

I think we weren't ready for independence.

Have you already chosen a presidential running mate for Duke?

Mushroom industry.

Nigeria is a good example to the whole world of what bad leadership and ineptitude on the part of it's citizens can do to a country.

Harvard University or Cambridge need to have a course on Nigeria.

There Was A Country

I blame Bubu for this

Its too late to fail..

There was certainly a country

The country died in 1966/67

Nigeria was good before 2015
