It was a day that light was joined with darkness. It should never be remembered.

CaptBabosa:




That's right good thinker.. We can can still right this wrong. There should be a national confab And a refrendum conducted. Every Nigerian involved should vote if this contrapment remains or not..

KanuSE:


Please bless the day Nigeria was amalgamated coz it's indeed a blessing but most of you can't see even though you have eyes.

I agree, they should have left out the Biafuro in their landlocked jungle to their elements. They would have been surrounded by Nigeria just like Lesotho and SA. They could have also been deported back to Congo. What a mistake this shit was.

Raymeskey:
My heart weeps profoundly when ever I heard about Northern & Southern protectorate amalgamation and Nigeria independence.

The problem of Nigeria at large started in 1914 amalgamation
Nigeria has never be one because it comprises of different people with different modus operandi in which each section/culture believes its own operating system is the best. This make make them neglecting the other sectors whenever in power, thinking they are incapable of doing things right.

manuelreports:
Why are people condeming Britain
Amalgamation was done for administrative convenience and the Nigeria ethnic Nationals have the chance to go their separate way upon declaration of IdependeInde.

I blame that man called Zik for his inability to reason properly. Even when Saudana of Sokoto and Obafemi Awolowo were protesting that the ethnic Nationals should go their separate way, Sik said No it is one Nigeria.

Remember In 1956 a motion was moved by Anthony Enahoro for self Government but the Northerners said they were not ready yet. That was ample opportunity for the South to go their separate way but some fools who want to answer Patons and nationalist never reason and the consequence of such an unholy Union.

Sorry then oil have not been discovered in Nigeria in large Quantity untill 1958.

Although I blame Britain for Not adminstering Nothern and Southern Nigeria as separate entities, the bigger blame goes to our nationalists for not reasoning logically about the consequence of Northern and Southern Nigeria unholy marriage.
