Nigeria’s Golden Years: GDP Growth & Regional Autonomy

The average GDP growth rate of Nigeria was 9% between 1960 and 1966. Nigeria practiced autonomous regional governmental structure with parliamentary system.

Then they convinced themselves that the unitary system looked sexy and adopted the presidential system. What happened to the GDP?

1999 to 2010 averaged 6.5%.
2011 to 2014 averaged 7%.
2015 to 2020 was -1.79% (negative) to 2.27%.
2021 to 2025 averaged 3.5%.

Now remember, 1960 to 1966, there were less educated people, less tools for development, less knowledge, but the GDP growth rate was 9%. Given the current availability of brains now, transported to that era, by parity, the GDP growth rate would have been circa 17% per annum!

Consequently, by deductive reasoning, the parliamentary regional governance system is best suited for the Nigerian state and yields better results, way higher than the unitary presidential system that’s synonymous to fetching water with a basket.

Everyone knows that the current system is a journey to disaster. Everyone realises that the current model is doomed and would never work but somehow, we all get partisan, support our ethnic idiots, help sheep to lead lions, and somehow, except there to be development.

These are facts and there are people that call us names (seditious, treasonous, whatever) while defending the current moronic model to nowhere, spewing “one Nigeria” of rubbish daily while the model turns their individual lives upside down for generations.

No, they don’t want to change the model; they need their own men in power. Power that’s constitutionally designed to serve less than 1% of the population.
