Numerous ancient African civilizations settled in the region that is today

was captured by British forces in
1851 and formally annexed in 1861. Nigeria became a British protectorate in
1901. Colonization lasted until 1960, when an independence movement succeeded
in gaining Nigeria its independence.
Nigeria
first became a republic at
the time it was founded, but succumbed to military rule in 1966 after a bloody
coup d'état. A separatist movement later formed the Republic of Biafra
in 1967, leading to the three-year Nigerian Civil War.
Nigeria became a republic
once again after a new constitution was written in 1979. However, the republic
was short-lived, when the military led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari seize again four years later.
Buhari was overthrown and a new republic
was founded in August 1993, but was dissolved again by General Sani Abacha in November 1993. Abacha died in 1998
and a fourth republic
was later established the following year, ending three decades of intermittent
military rule. Today, Nigeria is in the process of rebuilding its
petroleum-based economy and fighting the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. if you have gone through the full History of Nigeria you will understand that our own country Nigeria is true a blessed Country by Almighty Creator
