[1] I for one have always regarded the 1851 capture of Lagos as the date when the British colonisation of Nigeria began.

[1] One thing the British got spot on in Nigeria was the way they divided the country into 40 provinces, which today form the basis of our 36 states. One very important one however has been left out - Anioma State. I believe that if we create an Anioma State today, it will significantly increase Nigeria’s economic output

[1] Nigeria wants to start on a fresh slate with China. All Nigeria’s debts to China must be cancelled as part of a post-Coronavirus economic settlement package.

[1] Nigerians have among the most diverse array of textiles in the world. It is beyond belief that the sector is not one of the nation’s biggest sources of foreign exchange
[2] There is absolutely no reason why Nigeria’s revenue from the exports of lace, adire, guinea brocade, atiku, ankara, etc does not match crude oil receipts. We should be mass-producing finished products and exporting them to retail outlets all over the world
