6:30 As a Nigerian, i see your point. After our independence, we had a democracy here but tribal tensions led to coups, a brutal civil war and decades of "strong-man" military rule (mainly dominated by northerners) and centralization. In 99, we returned to democracy and have been increasingly adopting fedralism as our government model. It's still in progress but even a breakdown of our country by regions shows how it's better. The South of Nigeria, where i live, had more British presence and influence and decentralized leadership. We also have more of capitalism, modernity, infrastructure, secular culture and political stability while the North that maintained more of its traditional aspects, centralized rulers and culture (Hausa and Fulani) lags behind socioeconomically, has poor security, low education, poor development and less upward mobility.
