Nigerians sought independence primarily due to a desire for self-governance and an end to colonial rule, which they perceived as oppressive and exploitative. The growing nationalist movements highlighted issues such as economic exploitation, cultural suppression, and political disenfranchisement. Many Nigerians believed that independence would allow them to reclaim their identity, control their resources, and shape their own political and social future. Additionally, the global context of decolonization in the mid-20th century inspired a stronger push for sovereignty among colonized nations.
