I want to use this medium to greet all great Hivers. How has been your day so far, hope you are all doing good? I'm positive minded that it's all well and fine.
The first of October has been an iconic and historical day for Nigeria and every Nigerian citizens as a whole because today was the day Nigeria gained her independent as far back in 1960. Before Nigeria as a country gained an independent, there have been some historical happening before the independent was achieved or attained in 1960. The historical development of Nigeria is one which had a recorded events right from the amalgamation of southern and the northern protectorate that's worth to be revisited. The reason for amalgamation by Lord Lugard was unite the two protectorates and as well improve the economy standard of Royal Niger Company.
Another thing that made the amalgamation historic was that it shared the same year with the first world war in 1914. The historical antecedent of Nigerians gaining independent were packed with amazing events. The same year southern and northern protectorates were amalgamated, that same year the first constitution in Nigeria was created named "The Nigerian council". Then this was followed by Clifford constitution of 1922, Richard of 1946, MacPherson of 1951 and Lyttelton constitution of 1954. These are the majors events that assisted Nigeria to gain independent in 1960.
So those events that happened before the attainment of the independent of Nigeria in 1960 can not be underestimated which were tagged pre independent events and those that happened are known as post independent events. Every October first, it's known to be public holiday which workers stay at home to celebrate the birthday of Nigeria clocking 65 years today. People around you can drop by to help celebrate my darling country in the comments section. Thanks!
