Post-Modernism and Nigerian Culture

Most industrialized societies, with economic development (characterized by improved standards of living, provision of basic infrastructure, reduction in the levels of poverty, and unemployment) shall evolve into post-modernism with improved technology as the driving force. Post-modernism is pessimistically expected to revert humanity to anthropological primitivism as it could erode civilization that earlier enabled man effectively adapts to his environment.  The Evolutionary Theory of social change, from simple to complex is the ideological basis of this thesis together with the sociological explanation of change that focuses on society and culture.  Even through colonization, planned change and acculturation, the culture of most Nigeria Societies is resilient to Western Civilization.  Economic development is nominal and technology has not been effectively transferred and utilized in Nigeria, such that post-modernism is a far dream for Nigeria.
