There are people in their 80s and 90s today that helped to win independence for Nigeria, and provided excellent post-independence leadership. It was from the late 70s and early 80s that things started to go wrong when Obasanjo and Babangida, together with their useless generation, started political and economic robbery in Nigeria. What the two of them started, have continued till today.

We were never ripe for independence. Just some group of glory seeking overfeed adults looking out for their own legacy.

So which African countries would you say were ready or ripe for independence when they got it? Ghana became independent in 1956, if I may add.

I have always asked this hefty question: if South Africa had gained its freedom the same period we had ours, would the country still be as developed as it is today?

A common mistake is being repeated here. Be it in South Africa, Australia or America, we have a situation in which Anglo-Dutch rejects settled down in a foreign place to make a home for themselves. The way they saw and treated their new home was totally different because they had nowhere else to go. Colonial powers, on the other hand, were out to loot and rob so as to develop their countries back home. The Brits had Britain to develop ditto France and Belgium. Give them 100 years more, it wouldn`t have made a difference
