Then and Now.
One hundred and ten years ago Nigeria was one of the most prosperous and flourishing of Britain's African colonies. My Father was out there, seconded to the Southern Nigeria Regiment from the King's (Liverpool) Regt. as a SNCO Instructor. (I believe a Major Trenchard (any relation ?) was the C.O.)
Of course, the British Empire was a thoroughly Bad Thing (or so I am told by the Intelligentsia).......I wonder (having seen some of it).
In any case they are Independent Now (with all that that entails). It's all very sad, but we are not the world's policeman any more. We should keep out of it.
