Nigeria's Independence was granted on october 1 1960. However the privy court(london) was still the apex court until october 1 1963 when Nigeria became a full-fledged republic. By January 1996, Nigeria had begun its long path through military coups, counter-coups, handovers to civilians, and the circle again. In 1999, the Nigerian military handed over power to civilians again...and presidential democracy has remained till date.
