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 Independence

I blame that man called Zik for his inability to reason properly irrespective of his status as an erudite scholar. Even when Sadauna of Sokoto and Obafemi Awolowo were protesting that the ethnic Nationals should go their separate way, Zik said No it is one Nigeria. Just kept reeling out bogus semantics.

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 ways but some fools who want to answer Patons and nationalist never reasoned about 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.

Yet some people have the mind to force us to sing the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain?

Which heroes?

Which labour?

I swear I get very irritated when I hear that line because it's the biggest lie we keep telling ourselves.

Trash.

I clearly understand that you struggle with comprehension coz you fail to realise that the black man is the architect of his own problems.

Since independence, you ppl have always embraced the blame culture and wouldn't face reality but choose to be in denial.

Why do you refuse to see the strength in our numbers (population), diversity & potential as a nation.

You must be a slow coach!

Forced marriage can never work , forcing the South and North to unite has still not worked and can not work ever

British people are worst wayo than Chinese.
British vamus from EU, Brexit because they don't want forced marriage with Eastern and Balkan European. But they continue to preach one Nigeria.
UK is going down!

Not the guy you quoted, but most former colonies have mixed results.

Many African countries who were like Nigeria amalgamated are just as bad as Nigeria, and some are even worse. South Africa and Botswana appear to be doing well, most of the others appear to be doing badly.

Asian countries? Some like Malaysia and Indonesia are doing well, some like Burma and Laos are relatively poor.

The major difference appears to be

1.Some countries made the decision to go industrial a bit eg Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.

2.Some countries had bad dictators (Indonesia's Suharto is a notable example) who looted and then invested the loot back into their country.

3.The countries that are doing badly are heavily resource dependent...and heavily import dependent.

Only the British that created Nigeria can put an end to the issues Nigeria is facing as a result of its existence.Let them undo what they have done.

the British lumped militant Islamic Pakistan with tolerant Hindu India but they did the needful and separated.
Malaysia and Singapore also were lumped together by the Brits but they did the needful
But black creatures are something else.
Blacks lack ambition
They have no hunger to assert themselves in the world stage.
The few Africans like biafrans who have the vision of asserting themselves are criminalized.
The whites are right,the black man have no soul.
The council of nicea or is it council of Constance put it to the vote and they agreed that the Blackman had a soul by just one vote.
Peter Botha of apartheid south Africa summarized the black African

2015 the Christian republic wanted to exit, what did you do you vehemently refused.
You destroyed the land of the rising sun during the war but today (less than 40yrs) you are back with plates begging on his streets..
We will leave you someday

Please when I see your elected leaders including Reps, Senators and Governors declare openly the need and want to secede from the Federal Republic of Nigeria and we see a mass movement of your people moving back to the SE. Then we shall take you seriously, right now , it's just a cacophony of attention seeking imbeciles all over social media.

Until you are ready to take those steps stated above, you are nothing but BUNCH OF NOISE MAKERS.

What can we ready do ? Pls tell us

Very true. In some countries like Malaysia & Singapore, Chinese and Indians were brought in as labourers, and after independence, they were given citizenship.

Today, Malaysia and Singapore are more advanced than Nigeria. If it were Nigeria, we'd still be arguing about who is an indigene and who is a settler.

Nnamdi Azikiwe was a 10 years old boy in 1914.
Its unfair to blame him without getting your fact.

I'm so happy seeing Muslim immigrants raping and destroying British cultures and country. The sweetest thing is seeing them been replaced by foreigners in their own land.

Bastards

are you seeing what I saw?
The crusades never ended

OP you meant to say photos from the making or amalgamation of hellgeria, the diversities are too convincing not to do it if not for selfish reasons

4four:
those one are compatible but we are not there

Not exactly.

Indonesia is an amalgam. It is doing better than we are....and it also has separatist movements, discontent between tribes, and religious discrimination.

South Africa is an amalgam. It is doing better than we are, and it also has tribalism, xenophobia, and even the whites were not that untied to begin with.

Zambia is an amalgam, and it also has a separatist movement (Part of Northern Zambia wants to leave the rest of the country.

African countries that don't have separatist movements are countries like Tanzania, which is made up of several small tribes joined together by the Germans, and held on together by the Brits.

Can't you see that there ain't any future in this contraption of a forceful union among regions?

I mean let every region rule itself..

This ain't working and we can't just pretend that itz working and years go by...

How long are we goin to be untrue to ourselves?

It was the day the British colonial mistake called Nigeria was created

To the British it wasnt a mistake.
It was a grand design to ensure the control of their colonies by their puppets who are normally the most subservient to the British.
Same was done in Sudan, Pakistan/India/Bangladesh, etc. Germany did same in Rwanda, leading to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. It is called divide and rule. You want nationalism and "independence"? OK, no problem. We will give you that on paper but control you through our lackeys.
It is an excellent piece of business for and by the British.

Unless you have a strong lobby group in Westminster and unless you utilise lobby groups in Washington, the power of the intelligentia, academia and the press, this "mistake" will be what our children's children will inherit.

That is the true meaning of Nigeria.


Anybody that call me a Nigerian again, I will bomb them all.

Very very true, though there is some anti-Chinese and Indian sentiment among the 'native' population too sadly., that over the years has flared up into violence.

Even at the beginning, two founding fathers of the nation expressed serious misgivings about the amalgamation.

The powerful Sardauna of Sokoto, Suir Ahmadu Bello, called it the “mistake of 1914,” and the former Premier of Western Nigeria, Obafemi Awolowo, said it was “a mere geographic expression”.

Osidazz19:


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.

Our lecturer asked us Wether the amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorate was a curse or blessing? Omo see the way people dey choose curse, me I just jejely chose blessing..
