Nice one, very informative documentary. The debilitating legacy of British colonial rule. The British withdrew but strictly on their own terms - divide and conquer at its best. The agitators for independence were very naive in the art of politricks, and reading some of their concessions to the British makes one shudder. Its no wonder the early days were racked with assassinations, strife, civil war. As it is little has changed from then and Nigeria remains an incredibly divided nation, rampant tribalism and corruption affecting every level of governance.
