Dear Nigerians, you don't need to be so negative. Your nation may have flaws, doesn't mean you should downgrade it. SMH, y'all be loving and rating every country that isn't yours
These footage and others should be stored in our national archives if we have one. They prepared us to govern ourselves someday. We don't look for the best of the best regardless of tribe and prepare for the reins of government. Mediocre, sycophants, nonentities, fraudsters, etc, are the hallmarks our government and politics.
First republic politicians had no clue about how to build a viable nation. With no ideas about what to do, they simply used the country's wealth to give themselves luxurious life, leaving the country to drift. Successive Administration followed the same pattern, and the country has been drifting since independence. Oil wealth gave citizens a false sense security, even though there has never been strategic thinking and plans for the future. Spiraling oil price has unraveled our lack of sustainable economic strategy. Till now, there is still no structure in place to diversify the economy, create economic opportunities, and arrest further descent into insecurity and chaos. Nigeria is already a failed State because of her clueless leaders
I hope you can say this about Nigeria now In 2022. You made this comment 4 years ago. What's the state of that country in present day? Kidnapping here and there and mayhem.
Our founding fathers should have given England the American treatment rather than negotiate Independence over a cup of tea. The consequences of this plot is felt till this day.
Nigeria has never had a communist or socialist government while most of its neighbors had a communist or socialist government mainly it was German colony before WW1 in which Germany was the home to Karl Marx. Which is probably why Nigeria is a mostly religious country in its entire post British colonial rule.
Nigeria is still a tribal country. Any Nigerian identifies primarily as a Yoruba, Housa,, or whatever, and Nigerian second. The Biafran War was all about the treatment of Igbo's outside their traditional territory. They took to education avidly when it was offered and may have been smarter than the average Nigerian. They routinely won the civil service exams but found it difficult to do the jobs in some cases and were attacked in the streets. Their traditional territory was the one rich in oil, which Nigeria needed and wanted. Nigeria needed the Igbo territory more than the Igbo's needed the rest of Nigeria. The rest is history! Since then the original four states have split into 37 or more. It would take a collaborative effort of many states to successfully launch a new war against the federal government. Another big problem, I think, is that the north of Nigeria is Muslim and the south generally Christian. How is that going in Europe these days, and how does anyone expect it to work in Nigeria. I think we know the answers
@Can't mossad the Assad We want the disintegration of Nigeria to what it was before Britian stepped foot on out soil to create a Frankenstein border that has led to ethnic crises, poverty and civil wars.
The cause of Nigeria problem was Aguyi Ironsi, how wish he finished what major kaduna started. Those young military men saw the 2000s in 1966 but he was foolish enough not to see it
Tell me why Hausa/Fulani won't say they are born to rule. Hausa/Fulani were the only ones here in this video. No wonder Nigeria has not moved forward till now...
omotayo oni the Hausa Fulani are the reason of the corruption in Nigeria. They are in control of everything in Nigeria. They stop progress with their ultra religious conservatism
@@divinest you are a bastard. Zik are part of the ppl who removed breaking up of Nigeria from constitution. Zik worked with sadauna for balewa to be prime minister why he did not attended meeting organized by him and Awo. He went straight to the north to form team against Awo. How Yoruba is a traitor dump head?
The day north received Nigeria independence Constitution book is the day Nigeria is spoilt. Awolowo act as an opposition. They appoint yoruba to counter yoruba. Military coup detat killed many nationalist
COLONIAL FRAUDSTERS OR masters Check am, When you go to Britain to work, they call you 'immigrants' but they come to Nigeria to work you call them 'expatriates' If Putin stay in power 20 years they call him 'Russian leader' But if Mugabe stay in 20 years in power, he is 'Zimbabwean Dictator' If they conscript black people for sale and forced labour without pay, they call themselves 'slave traders' But if you hunt antelope in the bush for food, then you are 'animal poachers' Traders and poachers, who sounds like a criminal. I have to start using my sense. Shikena!
Nigeria could have gotten her independence around 1957, same time with Ghana. The Northern part of the Nigeria said they were not ready. They needed extra 3 years to be ready which pushed the independence to 1960.
This is the fact, the very act of killing this guy's destroyed this country and no amount of propaganda Will change it. We only learn from our mistakes.
@@ahmedkarage9633 lol go hold yuroba accountable the have been acting like the were not involved you see them green snake in a green grass never trust them
In the general election which gave birth to our independence, NCNC came first;followed by AG. NPC came a distant third. It was a hung parliament. The leaders of NCNC under the leadership of Azikiwe felt more comfortable forging an alliance with NPC instead of AG under the leadership of Awolowo. That error of judgement and grandstanding compromised the objective of the independence struggle. We are yet to learn any lesson. We think more of ourselves than Nigeria. We must stop blaming the British and face reality.

By the way there are countries who did fight for their independence but are very poor today.
