In this Nigeria at 66 Independence Day special of Critical Thinking, Kolawole Falodun is joined by filmmaker and political analyst Onuora Abuah for a comparative examination of Nigeria and Togo’s historical, political and economic trajectories.

The discussion explores how colonial legacies, contrasting systems of governance and different approaches to political leadership have shaped the development of both West African nations. From Nigeria’s federal system and turbulent democratic transitions to Togo’s centralised political structure, the conversation examines the relationship between political stability, democratic freedoms and institutional development.

The episode also considers how colonial-era borders influenced national identity and the challenges of building cohesive states from diverse ethnic and cultural communities. On the economic front, the discussion contrasts Nigeria’s vast natural resources and infrastructure challenges with Togo’s growing role as a regional maritime and logistics hub, particularly through the Port of Lomé.

With regional integration and cross-border trade also in focus, this special challenges listeners to reflect on what genuine independence means today and how West African countries can strengthen governance, economic cooperation and national development beyond the legacies of colonial rule.
