Nigeria used different means to fought to get her independent and in the process different groups were also formed to fight against the white oppression. And finally Nigeria got her independent in the year 1960. Now the irony here is that Nigeria was not fighting to get economic freedom but for political freedom and British with their wise wisdom gave them the political freedom and retain the economic freedom and in a country the person who is in charge of the economy tells you what to do.
Therefore British government tells Nigerian government what to do because they control the country economy and that the neo-colonialism come to an existence in the African countries.

That is a story I have seen being repeated over and over when comes to the independency of African republics, actually, we could argue neo-colonization is one of the factors which have led several of the lastest military coups in central Africa to happen.
France hold power over the Uranium mines there through the use of their transnational companies, politically France and the United Kingdom have held no power over those countries, but still there is a high influence coming from the north.
Makes me wonder how much of both political and economical power other post-colonial republics holds for themselves. India used to be a country under the rule of the United Kingdom and before it, under the Company of Easter Indies. And yet, I have got the impression they have managed to get most of their independence back from colonial times.
