About this ebook
At age forty, they say life begins. At that age, a child must have grown to adulthood and being in a position to take certain decisions concerning his/her destiny.
Economically speaking, at that age, that child, must have not only stopped depending on his/her parents but must have gained some stability.
This of course, is only made possible where that child works hard enough. But in this case, this ‘child’ of circumstance called Nigeria has failed to drag herself out of economic doldrums even after almost five decades of her existence as an ‘independent’ entity.
The much needed economic emancipation has eluded her despite all the hullabaloo about her independence, status as a nation even coupled with the fact that she also enjoys the status of a republic.
Problems such as unemployment, corruption, under-employment, under-utilization and or abuse of available resources both human and natural, political instability, distrust, mudslinging, bickering and suspicion amongst her citizens, still plague the nation.
In the face of all these belies a chequered economy borne not out of the scarcity or lack of resources but out of mismanagement of the abundance.
It is so bad that after all these years the citizens of the country have refused to or have not seen the reason to detach the tag of ‘developing or underdeveloped’ to the name of the nation.
Equally sad is the fact that even with the abundant human and material resources, a country referred to as the ‘Giant of Africa’ still remains a consumer nation, refusing to utilize all the endowments of nature so as to transform into a productive economy.
The book, ‘How Indirect Rule Underdeveloped Nigeria’ is therefore an attempt at waking up the much needed national patriotic zeal which the citizens have kept aside for so long and mistakenly replaced with tribal and ethnocentric loyalty thereby upholding the divine-and-rule system employed by Sir Fredrick Lugard to protect the economic interest of her home country, Britain.
This book is a wake-up call for national patriotism and loyalty; a clarion call to all well-meaning Nigerians to rise up to the occasion of building a virile nation that all will be very proud of.
It is time to check and halt the drift out of the country for ‘greener pastures. It is time to put a stop to brain drain and make use of the abundant brains within as experiences have proved that no outsider can arrange ones home better than the owner.
