CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Imperialism has been the most powerful force in the world history.

During the regime of President Olusegu Obasanjo 1999-2007.

It appears that foreign aid when harnessed fully and effectively used by the developing nations will actually lead to development. Also, the leading nations and international agencies that give loans should reduce their interest rate and other strings they attach to aid; the main problem of this study.
