After Independence..... What Next?
So a lot of people have been talking about the pre and post- independence
celebration, so i decided to talk about it in my own way and hopefully get you all to share or air your view so we all can learn from our past and history....
Although Nigeria was the creation of European ambitions and rivalries, its peoples had their cherished history of freedom and independence before the arrival of the British.
.....55 years after freedom from the British colonial leadership, what have we achieved? what have we done wrong? what are we still yet to put right? with the new sets of leadership and Surgical Transformation our country is experiencing i think it is safe for me to say with a clear mind that better days are marching forth!
Now more than ever i think the presidency and hes subordinates have to work tirelessly for that CHANGE they clamoured for all through the elections. talk of taking our country to a better standard from being tagged as a DEVELOPING COUNTRY to such standards like the U.S.A, CANADA, FRANCE and other DEVELOPED COUNTRY standards. If they could do it, pull it off, why cant we too?
A random average American will wake up and say God bless America! why cant the average Nigerian do same? why i ask? to me i think its because of corruption! this is our biggest struggle as a country and we need to fight it till it cant raise up its head again or pose any form of threat to us as an individual, and as a nation.
I am too proud to be a NIGERIAN
I am more than privileged to be recognized as a NIGERIAN
...... And like Timi Dakolo puts it in his song GREAT NATION, i believe in Nigeria and we will most definitely get there....someday of course

Historical
evidences indicate that during 9000 B.C. IwoEleru and UgwuelleUturu
settled in the south western part of Nigeria. In the 4th century B.C.
agriculture was widely practiced along with the growth of ceramic
industries. However, the ancient Nigerian culture owes its origin to the
Nok people who thrived extensively between 500 BC and 200 AD on the Jos
Plateau situated in the northeastern part of Nigeria. The comprehensive
history of Nigeria remains incomplete without mentioning the historic
reign of Yoruba kingdoms, Igbo kingdom of Nri and the Edo kingdom of

The comprehensive history of Nigeria remains incomplete without mentioning the historic reign of Yoruba kingdoms, Igbo kingdom of Nri and the Edo kingdom of Benin. It's important to note that the Yoruba's have pre dominated the ancient land of Nigeria and established their vast empire on the banks of River Niger. The Yoruba's were credited for their organizational set up which helped to carry forward many planned activities in field of agriculture and growth of trade and commerce. With the coming of Oyo and Benin in the 15th century also exerted tremendous influence over the political scenario of the country, it's believed that they also had some mythical origins and bore spiritual importance to the Yoruba's. With the emergence of trade relations between different countries and the opening of TransSaharan trade links between the western Sudan and the Mediterranean region paved the way for establishment of other dynasties and extension of the present boundaries. This led to the formation of the northern kingdoms of Savanna comprising of states as Hausa, Ghana, Gao and Kanem. In the later years, the kingdom of Kanem was expanded westward with Borno. Towards the 11th century, popular Hausa states such as Kano, Katsina, and Gobir grew to be popular hubs of trade and industry. - See more at: http://www.123independenceday.com/nigeria/history.html#sthash.NBiGsLO7.dpuf
