摘　　要：At independence,African states remained tied to their erstwhile colonial masters in their relations with the outside world.Apart from political autonomy,other aspects of relationship remained virtually parts of their former colonial masters.Although the United Nations Organizations(UNO)and other international institutions have provided a platform for multilateral relations for the new states,African states have remained in a position of unequal party with the more advanced nations of the world.Their export earnings are still low,from primary produce putting the balance of trade persistently at the advantage of the more developed nations.This,added to the poor technologies,weak infrastructure,and poor living standards of the people,has created for the African states a huge burden of nation building.The task is to successfully create a sense of nationalism and nationhood out of the various ethnic collectivities in the states.This is the focus of this paper with particular reference to Nigeria’s relations with Britain and therest of Europe and America.
