Ahc:Post colonized potency

Given enough tweaks, perhaps the Nigerian Civil War can be avoided? Nigeria already is a regional powerhouse in the West African region, so preserving more infrastructure could go a long way in making Nigeria's influence further felt.
 
Ok so I reckon your best bet here is south africa, I'm not sure if you count its otl departure from the Empire as decolonization but with a pod before 1910 im sure you can make it fit your standards. Probably want a government that is going to acquire nuclear weapons and remain neutral in ttls cold war and hope for a nuclear exchange, even if US and Russia remain great powers european countries are quite possibly not in a state to remain so. leaves US, Russia, China, Japan, India and a Nuclear South africa in 6th place.
 
with a pod before 1950
Couldn't be easier.

WWI is worse to the point where Britian needs to call up vastly more colonial troops > Raj gets Dominion Status > nuclear armed, industrialized, super India, which treats the Indian Ocean as its backyard and has become the de facto head of a geopolitically relevant Commonwealth.

This isn't even a wank. A wank would be saying the the UK forgets to decouple Aden, the Trucial States, and the Straits Settlements from the Raj before granting it its independence.

Somehow have Portugal go into a revolution and make Britain occupy Angola and Mozambique, with parts going to Germany. After a war with Germany where Germany invades Belgium and France, have the UK occupy Madagascar, German Angola, Namibia and Katanga. Due to the needs of having to police an entire continent, South Africa is granted power over the former Portuguese colonies and Madagascar. By the time decolonization becomes a possibility, South Africa controls almost all of Africa south of 10 degrees South.
