Nigeria was granted independent in 1960 by Britain, ever since she has been playing a fatherly role in the African continent, some of the roles include laying a solid foundation for the establishment of ECOWAS with her continent sister Togo, she also played a lead role in peace keeping missions in Africa . Also to mention is the supply of electricity to neighbouring countries, to mention but a few with these one can conclude by saying Nigeria is truly a blessing to Africa.
You have brought up a nice discussion praising Nigeria, although it is known that Nigeria has been recognised as the giant of Africa due to many considerations and many sectors that they are so strong in, like football, cultural influences, population, and many more.
So it is not that what you brought was not a good thread. but you keep it in the wrong place. When I went through your profile, all I saw was that you were just around the economy board, which made me think maybe, as a newbie, you were not patient enough to go and read and do research in order to know the best board to create a thread, but I will use this opportunity to encourage you as a newbie to go to beginners and help boards in order to know more about the form. And mind you, this thread is supposed to be in the Naija local board, not in the economy, so take note and ensure you do research.
