An Abuja based socio-political activist, Deji Adeyanju has reiterated that Nigeria was in a good position during the colonial administration.
Adeyanju explained that Nigeria has been facing economic imbalance since independence. In his statement to mark Nigeria’s 62nd independence, the activist bemoaned about the depreciating value of Nigeria currency.
He said the country has been doing better under colonial masters before its acclaimed independence.
Explaining further, Adeyanju noted that the new colonial masters are only interested in defrauding the country if it’s economy.
Adeyanju said, “At 62 years, the Naira note which is our legal tender is one of the most worthless in the world.
One dollar is N740 while the Ghanaian currency is 10 cedi to the US dollar. There’s absolutely nothing to celebrate here because the country is not working.
“Sadly, the country was doing much better under foreign colonial masters. The new colonial masters of Nigeria, the political class are only interested in looting and destroying the educational, health and other sectors while sending their kids abroad to school and go to the best hospitals abroad.
“The irony of our present reality is that candidate of the ruling party is currently rumoured to be abroad receiving medical treatment in the middle of presidential campaign”.
