CIVILIZATION

Civilization has brought about innovative changes within Enugu State and entire Country at large. The trend of civilization started from the pre-colonization of British Master to Colonization by British Master. The coming of the Colonial masters to Africa was the beginning of Civilization in Africa at large. The amalgamation of Southern and Northern Protectorate was established by the British masters in 1914, which was a wonderful strategy that led to unity today.

The introduction of the indirect rule system which made our Presidential system of Government strong today was possible because of the coming of white men to Nigeria. This rule was successful in Northern part of the country because of the organized pre-colonial system of the Hausas community while the system failed in the Eastern part of the country but partially succeeded in the Western part of Nigeria.

Nigeria is doing fine today because of the foundation laid by the British men in Education, Economic, Social and cultural affairs of the Nation. To a learn man, British Colonial System was seen as a “divide and rule system”, I am not saying that they are wrong, but consider their positive side view. Their immense contribution to the development of Africa is something worth handshake appreciation. Our mineral was lying dormant during pre-colonial rule (before the coming of the colonial masters), no discovery, no direction, and no strong leadership amongst the Ibo tribe of the nation Nigeria. But we gain all these from white men. Despite the discrimination against the blacks in their own country by the use of fire armed gadgets to compel obedient and sanction of opposition, the light they threw into the country is still improving till date, non nations of Africa has meet up their standard. They were eye opener to us because they finally let us go free and make our own decision ourselves. I don’t know how the reader of this article will sees it. But I want you to know that no matter how people judge it the coming of the Colonial master has done us more good than bad.

Nigerians gained their Independent from the Colonial Master on the 1st October 1960. With Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe becoming the first President of Federal Republic of this great Nation Nigeria while Tafawa Belewa becoming the prime minister. The system then was parliamentary system of Government emulated from the British, which is still the current system of government in Britain. From Nigerian Independent till date, there are drastically changes to believe that civilization has taken place. These changes started first By Nigeria becoming a Republic from 1963, showing evidence of freedom. These changes also continuous till date and can be categorize in model Structures, Fashion, Refined culture, Leadership Education. Before moving further, we are going to use pictures to distinguish the differences, so we can be convinced that civilization has really grounded in Nigeria compare to what it used to be:
