Apart from we Nigerians derailing from our core values ,what I'm seeing watching from this video is how outsiders ripped away all our resources for their own use while we benefit less .
This documentary has better audio and video quality than some local shows today! I see a young Chinua Achebe at 3:07 and T.O.S. Benson at 41:52 Brand new 3-bedroom houses in Ibadan selling for £1,650 😮 at 43:03 Perhaps things could have turned out better today if the British had allowed the strange bedfellow-federating units to pursue their exclusive independence from one another!
@@afrounite It was a needles coup I repeat. From that video you could see how every regions were busy and eager to develop and bring infrastructure to her people. Federalism and resource control was at it's best. Then boom!!! The military struck. And Nigeria never remain the same again. Many ugly events unfolded , leading to the massacre of the Igbos and eventually the civil war. Else our democracy would have evolved for a period of 60 years now. You can now see how needles, unnecessary,inconsequential and worthless that coup was?
@liberty1857 that video did not represent the situation of what became of Nigeria in 1966 that led to the coup , that video was way back when Nigeria was on the right track
Thank you for this Documentary on Nigeria 🇳🇬 I pray for the country to rise up again ❤❤
The treasure troves of Nigeria's rich history are finally being unravelled.

Balewa spoke so eloquently
Chibu sleek, this is truly missed in modern times
@@ChibuzorDrSleek their generation spoke impeccable English because they learnt phonetics directly from the native English linguists

No, things would have turned better if we had remained under British rule.
This was beautiful! Thanks for uploading
A Gem for the ages.Thanks for sharing.❤

Nigeria we hail thee
The needles coup of January 1966 was the very event that shattered Nigeria hope of greatness.
Ignorance shattered Nigeria, not the coup. Did 1966 happen to all the black nations in the world? Why hasn’t even one black country survived?
You won't call it a needles coup if you were there in 1966

I can see Chinua Achebe

Nigeria has no Independence
14:50
why is everybody shining teeth
Because life was good back then and everybody was happy and proud of Nigeria 🇳🇬
The posh accent to speak English and Native Language, Pidgin. it as if as everything fell apart we lost our discipline and Rich personality
This is why hausa fulani are claiming Nigeria belong to them, we need to divide Nigeria to be permanently free.
You can divide your household, Olodo.
