mmsen:It is quite comical and tragic to see people who would almost certainly have been village illiterates today without independence, singing the praises of colonial rule from their ipads and computers facilitated by African leadership. 3 Likes |

We had a running rail system, better power supply, well maintained roads, standard schools and hospitals, jobs for graduates, town planning with pipe borne water reaching all homes in urban areas. Once they left, All these deteriorated to the extent that a typical naija city is one filled with illegal road side shacks and little planning. Roads have to in a state of total disrepair before they are repaired. Schools and hospitals became substandard. The rail system was shut down entirely. Go to any post office in the country and see dilapidation. Corruption percolated through and became the norm of every institution, organisation even at grass root level. These are facts. If we had sustained the rate of growth we had then, we would have been on the same level as UAE, Quatar and some EU countries. I'm not saying they were perfect or didnt exploit us, but their administration was more efficient and effective. ROSSIKE: 3 Likes |

9jatatafo: I disagree. The N20 note was the highest denomination of our currency and there was no way it could have been common as it is now. |

Asuokaa: Let me help you, since you can't do it yourself. READ Jaja of Opobo (full name: Jubo Jubogha; 1821–1891) was a merchant prince and the founder of Opobo city- state in an area that is now part of Nigeria. Born in Umuduruoha, Amaigbo,[citation needed] in Igboland, he was sold at about the age of twelve as a slave in Bonny. Jumo Jumofe later took the name "Jaja" for his dealings with the British. |

Octaves:You are a deluded lying foool sent here to deceive Nigerians. Name one power plant built by the colonialists. Nasty liar. What roads did they build? Name one expressway they built. Just one. Name one major hospital they built. ONE. The railway system they built north to south only to evacuate resources to the ports for export. Not for our benefit or to promote internal trade. Under colonial rule if one was ill, one visited a traditional herbalist. What schools did they build apart from a handful of missionary schools that educated less than 5% of the population? They ruled 63 years and built not one university. So what "jobs for graduates" are you talking about? What graduates? From what universities? Stop lying to Nigerians. The reason our founding fathers fought so hard for independence was due to the monstrous misrule and neglect of the population by the colonialists. Awo used to say he did more for the western region in 5 years than the colonialists did in all Nigeria in the preceding 50 years..and he was right. God punish you 100 times for coming here to lie to Nigerians. 3 Likes |
