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.
Ecowas is just a name, since I'm born I can't for once say this is exactly benefits of Nigeria from Ecowas rather it's the Nigerian government that is forming the alliance with the western African countries. You can see that Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger has left Ecowas and heaven did not fall on them rather they have been lead by the military government thag has stop worshipping the westerners especially France that come and takeaway their mineral resources.
Nigeria is a blessed country but our diversity and corruption has blind folded everyone eyes. The youth of yhe country are helpless because the elders don't want to let them rule the country and the old ones are looting the country dry. Check all the past governors from the last government, all of them were invited by Economy financial crime commission and what happen after? All the allegations were swept under the carpet and you think such country will improve? I'm not sure about that.
