They sold each other to Muslim races and ate who was left until the Europeans made them stop. That’s all if sub Saharan Africa’s history, comprehensively. They could never build anything - literally anything - and have squandered and destroyed what the Europeans built.
Most excellent video as usual. It’s like Naija (and afrika in general) has had no shortage of these leaders. And it’s like a nation jumps out of the frying pan and and into the fire with who usually succeeds these guys
they cannot get past tribal and religious conformity despite decades of independence. The British left but the people remained the same colonized people, this time without a master.
These things harmed a good country with much greater potential to remain under performer just to serve the greed of few elite class. Sad story for Nigeria.
We did it to ourselves. We wanted independence and got it. If I was there during that time I would have obliged. Atleast if the whites left around 2000 our infrastructure would be almost up to date instead were still in 1960
Clumsy Africans fighting over religions that are foreign to them. How refreshing. Also, I think Babangida wanted to clinged on to power because liked the way princes Diana gazed at him when they met. It was an hypnotic experience for him to have a white lady with such status stare at him in such a flattering way. Most Africans petite bourgeoisie on the continent live to share similar experience.
thanks, I've learned a lot about African history from your videos and was happy to see you have this new one uploaded tonight, looking forward to watching it now
so by promising to get rid of corruption in the Nigerian government, he ended up becoming another corrupt despot? also good video, love from the USA 🇺🇸
That’s nothing! There was this Georgian bank robber than got help from other feral outsiders to kill millions of productive people in their homeland. They exported their stupid ideology to Africa and got the same results! Death and failure. Ringing a bell with you?
It's too simplistic to blame the problem of Nigeria on only on corruption. As a friend do say, corruption is not the route cost of any problem but a reaction to the problem. When you look too deep to see that the following; 1) population explosion 2)a lack of productivity amongst the general populace 3) religious extremism 4) deep rooted cultural problems Are bigger problem than corruptions than most of you cry about.
This is such a great new find of a channel. 20C African history is so interesting with charismatic villains, it would be so good to dramatise, like Game of Thrones.
I mean there's a ton of leaders like that from African history. Shaka Zulu, Sunni Ali Ber, Ravanalona, Africa's got tons of historical figures just begging to have a series made on them. So far the only one that nailed it was the Shaka Zulu series
The name is Baban Gida, not Babaginda. Translates to Head of the House, usually a name for elder son. Shame for going to beg IMF, the country could have been soo rich without corruption and mismanagement.
Zambia's 4th president Rupiah Banda has recently died, leaving behind a life as a diplomat and a politician. I think it would be fitting if there was a video about him.
@@tuforu4 As we have seen on this channel, all leaders have their good and bad. I suggest that African Biographics makes a video out there, and see how many people do weighing the good vs bad.
@@tuforu4 True, but that was Asia at one time as well. Leaders can be greedy, but how they end is important. Unlike Hastings Banda and Robert Mugabe, Banda was a one term president who heeled to the will of the people when he lost the election, showing that he never forgot who it was he was to serve. It was something that Kaunda started when he conceded and was repeated again in Zambia's election last year when Lungu conceded.
I'm 🇺🇸 I love Nigeria's history so teach me about Frm President Ibrahim Banbangida even He's an Dictator was the Nigerians feel defeated, do some of the Nigerians feel powerless , the ones who believe in him do the Nigerians think President Babangida he worst President in Nigeria?
Good man! IBB and abacha will make heaven compare to democratically elected president Buhari.( well by now Nigerians don know how far) no controversy - compare and contrast by yourself!
Tough one as they all come with a balanced dose of good and evil. For the greatest, that may be Umar Musa Yar'adua. For the worst, somewhere between Abacha and Buhari.
In terms of Prudent use of resources and following due process I believe the short time Yar Adua spent as president should have been the best. Unfortunately, in addition to not staying long in office due to ill health leading to his death, his regime had the misfortune of being badly affected by the world financial meltdown of 2008. But Obasanjo who stayed 8 years cleared the debts, increased foreign investments, reduced unemployment and opened up the economy more innovately than his predecessors. Obasanjo bringing out Yar Adua was the best thing he did for Nigeria. Yar Adua continued the good economic policies of Obasanjo while in office. I therefore adjudge him as the best given the facts.
For certain an "Evil genius". Ruthless and in no way democratic, he was however much more efficient than most rulers of Nigeria and he did stabilize the economy in a vital moment in time when Nigeria could have ended up like Sierra Leone. So very much a difficult man to judge. I guess "great talent put to selfish use" is as good of a one liner as I can make.
Babangida was and is a liar, a thief and a coward. Funny thing is that he could have been so much more. He was not the most brutal or evil man to rule Nigeria, but he was a snake who bit you and wanted to be loved at the same time. He is still alive and his punishment has been to see his legacy condemned to tbe dungheap of history. I hope he makes peace with his maker before he goes, he is a forgotten, frail old man now.
Babangida succeeded in making some of his political cronies excitingly rich,legalised,corrupion,419,drug and currency trafficking and caused present economic instability in Nigeria up till today that defy every necessary conomic solution up till date
My question to you about frm President Babangida did He mistreated the people of Nigeria, the ones who support him do they think He's a good President or did President Babangida wanted to star wars in Nigeria is this true or not?
@@sharwama992 yeah we didn’t, but he capitalized on the desperation of Nigerians in general, and is punishing easterners because we didn’t vote for him 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Nigeria should have waited to gain independence. We would have atleast had nice infrastructure like South Africa. Everywhere the whites conquered they atleast left some of their knowledge. Nigeria still looks how the whites left it we haven’t gone forward
What is complex about Nigerian history? Feral tribesmen sold and ate each other until the Europeans made them stop, bringing a civilization to which those same feral tribesman destroy and squander at record pace. You know we know about the history of steel making in Nigeria? Or lack of it, despite outside help, right?
Thx very much for doing this biography. I am from sweden and i loove nigerian history
Hmm
Nigerian stories are sweet tales and yet we have not learnt much
Why
Some parts not acurate...
E.g @12:43 Maman Vatsa was never ascertained by experts and historians to be the Leader of the Coup. That part is wrong
They sold each other to Muslim races and ate who was left until the Europeans made them stop.
That’s all if sub Saharan Africa’s history, comprehensively. They could never build anything - literally anything - and have squandered and destroyed what the Europeans built.

You are ignorant and lack basic understanding of nation building.
People like you are why Nigeria is incapable of anything
The worst president in our Modern day Nigeria Democracy is Muhammad Buhari, he is incompetent and a heartless politician
Hello. I am sorry to intrude but did u delete a video about a French Politician?? Thanks
I am curious. Who do most Nigerians think was their greatest President\Leader? And who do they think was the Worst?
Tough one as they all come with a balanced dose of good and evil. For the greatest, that may be Umar Musa Yar'adua. For the worst, somewhere between Abacha and Buhari.

The good thing is that all Nigerian General's coup plotters were very learnet
Somewhat Innacurate...
Maman Vatsa was never ascertained by experts and historians to be the Leader of the Coup.
Are there any stable governments in Africa? What a mess.
It's so surreal seeing Nigeriens simping for military rule in 2023. It never ends well
Babangida. IBB. We call him maradone or the “evil genius”. Very sleek

What is a Palace coup?
It is a bloodless coup made by an insider...someone usually close to the person being overthrown
I think I could seize power in one of these African countries.
This SAP is the same as ESAP which was also introduced in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
