A series of constitutions after World War II granted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/nigeria-google-maps\/\">Nigeria<\/a> greater autonomy. After independence in 1960, politics were marked by coups and mostly military rule, until the death of a military head of state in 1998 allowed for a political transition. In 1999, a new constitution was adopted and a peaceful transition to civilian government was completed. The government continues to face the daunting task of institutionalizing democracy and reforming a petroleum-based economy, whose revenues have been squandered through corruption and mismanagement. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/nigeria-google-maps\/\">Nigeria<\/a> continues to experience longstanding ethnic and religious tensions. Although both the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections were marred by significant irregularities and violence, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/nigeria-google-maps\/\">Nigeria<\/a> is currently experiencing its longest period of civilian rule since independence. The general elections of April 2007 marked the first civilian-to-civilian transfer of power in the country&#8217;s history and the elections of 2011 were generally regarded as credible. The 2015 election is considered the most well run in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/nigeria-google-maps\/\">Nigeria<\/a> since the return to civilian rule, with the umbrella opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, defeating the long-ruling People&#8217;s Democratic Party that had governed since 1999.
