We'll investigate the post-independence challenges, including corruption, ethnic rivalries, and economic instability, which set the stage for the dysfunction that persists today.
Join us as we untangle the intricate web of Nigeria's dysfunction and seek to understand the factors that have shaped its tumultuous journey. Through historical references, we aim to shed light on the challenges faced by the nation while also exploring opportunities for a brighter future.
