Come 1st October 2014, Nigeria will celebrate another Independence.

Before Nigeria became an independent state in 1960, some colonial governors ruled us. They were called Governors, but later they changed it to Governor-General.

I was able to get the pics of few of them.

Meanwhile, below was the colonial flag used by the colonial governors in Nigeria.

That's history and government.

In Government, there is a topic " Constitutional Development in Nigeria" where the colonial constitutions and post colonial constitutions are studied. So this is not a crap.

Benard Bourdillorn started the process of regionalism in colonial Nigeria. He divided Nigeria into 3 regions of East, West & North.

But it was finally adopted by his successor, Authur Richard's constitution of 1946.

Then the Lyttleton constitution of 1954 introduced federalism in the Nigerian political system.

Be precise or be concrete, make every explanation easily as you can, so that a 5 year old child too should be able to understand. yes there were three governor generals in nigeria, one in each region.
