A lady that called into a TV program said, “My father told me that during the colonial era, everything that works in Britain, also worked in Nigeria”. This is a fact. Yes, power, water, schools, railways, health care, law enforcement, etc. all worked in Nigeria.
It was after our independence that, in our crudity and dishonesty and un-patriotism, we destroyed the institutions built, and standards set, by the British. And lamentably, in our self-deceit, we blame our problems on colonialism and the legacies of colonialism.
