The major aim of the study is to examine the impact of dependency on sub Saharan African development with reference to Nigeria perspective. It examined the major problem of dependency in sub Saharan African. It examine the major areas of under development in sub Saharan Africa. The study therefore adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. It implore one of the traditional methods of gathering information, i.e. the secondary sources of data. A sizeable percentage of secondary sources that is used came from published and unpublished works which include materials extracted from: Archives, Newspapers, discussions, Conference papers, Magazines, Internets, Books, and Articles in journals e.t.c. and was analyzed to make the topic under discuss meaningful.
findings from the study revealed that Dependency and underdevelopment of Africa Nigeria inclusive, is unveiled by successive phenomena such as slave trade, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and neo-colonialism. It should be noted, however, that the countries that are depending on the rest are mostly poor countries of the third world, Nigeria is a typical poor third world country and underdeveloped that depends on the western world for decision and implementation of economic development of the west to her own detriment.The study concludes that African/Nigerian underdevelopment is caused by the incessant corruption imbedded in bad leadership that had bedeviled African states since independence. The study therefore recommends that Nigeria need good leadership and effective management of the abundant Nigerian economic resources, and more so corruption should be fought with all the resources in the power of this nation as she cannot deliver herself from dependency while corruption still persists.More so that all the agents of neo-colonialism such as foreign aids and grants, foreign oriented policies and programmes should be shunned off.
