Britain and Nigeria are very close, this closeness was built when Britain discovered the benefits of having Nigeria close to them both financially and otherwise. This is because Britain and other advance countries of the world who pretend to love the third world countries are doing so because of what they would gain, which is why for so many years, Britain has indirectly encouraged Nigerian politicians to bring their stolen wealth to bank in England. This attitude has been going on for so many years as Britain keep on manipulating Nigeria and other third world countries. It is unfortunate that before and after Independence, Nigerian leaders have been paying so much homage to Britain which should not have been so. Britain should have handled Nigeria as partners and not the other way round. All these put together contributed to the problems of Nigeria today. It is said that all fingers are not equal, perhaps that was why Britain and other advance countries are treating the third world nations in a terrible manner. Having said this, the Nigerian politicians of this generation are still following the footsteps of the old Nigerian politicians who were on the YES YES side by dancing to the tune of Britain and the United States of America. We (Viewers Corner News team) are saying so because the rate at which the new generation of Nigerian politicians stole money belonging to the country (Nigeria) and at the same use that same money to purchase properties worth billions of Naira in England including other advance countries of the world has become so alarming without considering the welfare of the people of Nigeria who are living in abject poverty. Anytime such money was to be transferred, those in Britain and the United States of America would open their arms to welcome those Nigerian looters. What this means is that Britain and the United States of America have not been fair to Nigeria and other third world countries because if most of the advance countries have good intentions for the third world countries, they should be able to direct them since they claimed to know better rather than encouraging them to bring their stolen wealth to the advance countries. Up till today, most of Abacha’s loots and money stolen by some Nigerian politicians are still hanging in both Britain and other countries of the world without anyone knowing whether such stolen money would ever be returned to Nigeria. It is time for Nigeria as a nation to move forward by creating her own system without relying so heavily on Britain and the United States of America. Nigeria should make new friends and work closely with them as partners, with such attitude in mind more benefits would come to the country (Nigeria). Please let every third world country be of equal footing with the advance nations of the world. See them as partners and not as superiors. Use what you have to get what you want because they also need you the way you need them, meaning that they can not be self sufficient without the resources from the third world countries.
