But is representative government, which the white people brought to us, not the best type of government? Nigeria
Before the white imperialists came to Nigeria, the diverse ethnic groups in the country had their peculiar systems of government. And, the pre-colonial systems of government practised by Nigerians during the pre-colonial era guaranteed peace and unity among the peoples living in the place, which is called Nigeria, now. However, our coming into contact with western culture nearly caused the obliteration of our cultural practices.
Not surprisingly, Nigeria was embroiled in a civil war, which devastated it and caused its economic stagnation and technology underdevelopment. Thereafter, the country suffered and experienced military interregnum with its calamitous and devastating effects. Military rule is characterized by the suspension of the constitution in which our fundamental human rights are enshrined.
More so, a country with near anarchic condition cannot hope to achieve sustainable economic growth and technological advancement. Insecurity of lives and property is not a force for national development. No thoughtful and percipient foreigners would build industries in a country that is susceptible to descending into war.
