If You Were Not Born When Nigeria Existence Was Negotiated Blame Yourself by Adetewa: 11:59am On Oct 07, 2017 |
It's stupid to ask a question on who signed the Amalgamation of Nigeria? This threading question not only show the ignorant of the questioner but exposed the ignorance of many Nigerian youths to the history of Nigeria The reason is that, there is nothing like amalgamation of Norther & Southern Nigeria till date in our history, The only Amalgamation we have is the Northern and Southern protectorates! is just as simple as that. The negotiation on the existence of Nigeria traced to the different constitutions of the past, London and Ibadan constitutional conferences 1913 (which came into effect on 1 January 1914), 1922, 1946, 1951 and 1954 constitutions. Richards Constitution (after Governor-General Sir Arthur Richards provided Legislative Council empowered to deliberate on matters affecting the whole country. Macpherson Constitution Lyttleton Constitution, named for Oliver Lyttelton, 1st Viscount Chandos and enacted in 1954, firmly established the federal principle and paved the way for independence. If you were not born to this period blame yourself not those who involved the negotiation. |

M7even:not at all! this is just a stupid question meant to detract the existence of Nigeria and feeding it to the gullible ignorant. Nothing like amalgamation of Nigeria ever existed, but protectorates |

Adetewa: Other than complete annexation of the southern protectorate after the final defeat of the Igbo resistance to colonialism in 1914, what negotiation was this author all about? |

Dedetwo:pls, stop what you know nothing about, Igbo didn't resist colonial master, we know those who resist in Africa, Igbo is not among, it's a cooked lie history! The reality is that igbo never have kingdom nor Empire like other ethnic groups, they were living in loose scattered individual in nuclear family in the jungle. This make it difficult for British to rule every loosely home, they imposed a leader on igbo and and use direct rule to get them along! even with this it's not easy to mobilized igbo, to your notice they were servants of European slave merchants, around bight of Congo then. |
