Beautiful piece. I now understand why Nigeria once banned the teaching of history in Nigeria; it's too revealing.
While reflecting on the centrality of this essay and Nigeria, my question is: why is it that many Nigerian leaders love London so much? We witnessed this phenomenon during the last elections period. Indeed, President Buhari went to London for a week's medical checkup. These trips left me scratching my head, and wondering about these politicians' unpatriotic character.
Recall, if you will, that Britain, unlike France and Portugal, never practiced the policy of assimilation in Anglophone Africa. Yet, some of our political actors seem to love the UK more than Nigeria. Why?
