Past event that occur in Nigeria History



 Nigerian will never forget what happen in pre history of Nigeria. Notwithstanding the advent
of coming of European into Africa as a own will be forever remember neither for good or bad.
 Most especially in western part of Africa (Nigeria) undergo what is called colonization, which contribute
to the under development of  Nigerian.less not forget that  able body men and women were force of their villages and towns to shore of Atlantic ocean where they were use as a slave in the new world (AMERICA,WEST INDIES )etc, which these contribute to the lack of human power to the productivity of the Economy,Social,Culture,Education,political aspect..etc...Meanwhile, Nigeria leader's also contribute their own part to the effect that contribute to the  under development that is happening in the present day Nigeria. I wish all Nigerian people could become one..I mean one for all; all for all people...I pray that one day God almighty will hear to the cry of the neglected people of Nigeria.
