AHC: Make Nigeria a better place to live

[Ultimate Paragon]

Your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to come up with a plausible scenario where Nigeria is much better off than OTL.

Have an ATL where the Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the Southern Nigeria protectorate are never merged by the British. They become independent as two separate nations, preventing ethnocentrism, tribalism, religious persecution, and sectarian violence from coming to define Nigerian politics.

That could work, but then you'd probably still have rivalry between Ibos and Yorubas.

Split the southern protectorate into Biafra and Whatever-The-Hell-You-Call-That-Other-Part?

Hey, he said 'better off than OTL', not first world. It'd just be a good starting point to build a Nigerian TL from.

If you want an extreme example, you can use the "Nigeria" that's developing in "Male Rising" is the pre-1900 thread.
