We truncated their good plan for their future. “I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them”. We tricked Azikwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria.

Legendary Harold Smith Speaks about Nigeria

Written by Olufemi Adefolaju – Aug 24, 2007

The man Harold Smith is not new in Nigerian history. He is one of the architects of colonial foundation that midwife Nigerian independence in 1960. I met him in a meeting three weeks ago where he opened up a bit about the lingering problem in Africa especially; Nigeria unbalanced protracted social political situations.

We asked if he could make this known to the media. His response was “I am in my 80s now; I have agreed but in the past ‘they’ did not want me to say anything, but now I don’t want to go to my grave without telling the truth about the atrocities perpetrated in Africa by the colonialists. Brothers and sisters; on Ben TV last Thursday, Harold Smith was on a program to reveal what went behind the scene before the independence. The Oxford University graduate had this to say about his role in Nigeria pre and after independence era. ‘Our agenda was to completely exploit Africa. Nigeria was my duty post.

When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; strength, intelligence, determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused life style, great hope and aspirations… the East is good in business and technology, the west is good in administration and commerce, law and medicine, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power “at all cost” to the northerner. They seemed to be submissive and stupid of a kind. Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts. The west led in the fight for the independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. They will not rule Nigeria!

Harold Smith confessed that the Census results were announced before they were counted. Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 Million. This was to be used to maintain their majority votes and future power bid. He stated that the West without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but we ignored that. The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military. According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background.

Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south. We truncated their good plan for their future. “I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them”. We tricked Azikwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria. However, Harold Smith justified the British agenda of colonialism in Nigeria, which he believed was originally to help build Africa after the ruins of slave trade, but lamented that the British only looked after themselves and not after Nigerian interest. The British really let Nigeria down. When I see Nigerian been accused of fraud and from what I saw on the streets of Lagos; the British were worst fraudsters.

Looking at the northern leaders now he said, “If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria. He stated that the British look after the British people and this is so all over the world. He said the time has come now to see people of intelligent minds with an open and inclusive agenda for all Nigerians in power…people who will really look after Nigerians large population…but “I still curiously and sorrowfully see now that the British has not let go of Nigeria…her wealth,. her potentials, her future. He opined that the Caucasian people now assert themselves as the keeper of the “New Age” keys. He therefore said that it is only logical for Europeans to maintain their position of power, scientific superiority, economic exploitation, they must continue to perpetuate their lies and falsehoods and this is the most unkindest cut of all in relation to Nigeria situation!

According to him, Nigeria, a great nation was crippled not because of military juntas or corrupt leaders alone but by the British and American fear of Nigeria great future. He confessed, “The fear of the place that will be our ‘dumping ground’ really occupied our minds”. Some of the things he said were not new to Nigerians or to the whole world but hearing it from the horse’s mouth is quite revealing and established more reality zones. He finally submitted that the colonial masters have caused havoc while they were in Africa, and planted timed bombs when they finally left. What we see since independence, the administration of new internal colonial masters by fellow Nigerians holding sway in power is doing more damage to Nigeria. Instead of detonating the time bombs planted by the British, the north is planting mines. He added that ‘It was my duty to carry out all of the above and I was loyal to my country. Nigerians should try to be loyal to their country leaders and followers alike. Love your country. You have got the potentials to be great again and the whole world knows this’. I am sorry for the above evil done to Nigeria. I can’t say sorry enough……

Welcome to One Nigeria as bequeathed to us, courtesy of the one and only Zik of Africa (sic!) and his fellow genetically-wired myopic, greedy and covetous kinsmen.

Perhaps providence kept Harold Smith alive to confess British sins in Nigeria. The British even "infected" him with a rare disease to keep his mouth shut, he survived! He was promised Knighthood and all the perks any retired Civil Servant could ever want as payment for sealed lips, he refused! He was shipped out of Lagos in disgrace and gagged for decades with all forms of threats to life and limb.

The truth is out, but it no longer matters to the British: the job's done, the seed of discord in Nigeria is now firmly rooted! After all, the Civil War did a great job of this.

But there's a way out of this: restructure the country into six zones, abolish state governments, create mayors for big towns and cities, and retain LGs as nexus of rural development. Unnecessary recurrent expenditure will cease, leaving enough for capital projects!

Noblezone, Nnamdi Azikiwe was part of the northern controlled central government from 1960 to 1966. Awolowo was sidelined by the east and north who dominated the civil service and the military.

Awolowo was criminal tribalist who was shouting Southern interest like an Oshodi tout but when Zik discovered that Southern interest was as it favor yolobass Zik later back out having seen Awolowo's traditional yoloba backstabbing, treachery and conspiracies at its peak.

Why didn't Awolowo took the opportunity to declare his country when Emeka Ojukwu did but because he was promised Federal appointment and was given ministry to handle he forgot that Nigeria was a geographical expression.

OH I forgot tribalism is now the spur of the moment on the political section, but still people need to know why Nigeria is where it is today. and should tribalism surface? Am sure you and the mods know what to do.

WÓw... It is unfortunate that we have a country that has been programmed to fail and destroy. Nigeria must to determine her future whether in continuous unity or everybody go their separate ways. This is the way forward for all of us.

Even though it was quite refreshing reading all these revelations from the horse's mouth, everything he said was known to most of us for sometime now. The manner in which the British Colonialist huriedly gave Nigeria independence was in itself very suspecious to great minds.

The West's major agenda for Africa is to frustrate its developmental progress. They do this covertly through colonist (Imperialist) institutions like the World Bank and IMF.
They hate the idea of having a country as developed as Europe under the leadership of blacks. Unfortunately, Africans are currently being used as willing tools to destabilise the continent.

I'm not very good in Math or I may have misunderstood the article, which census did the north get the inflated figure of 55m instead of 32m please? I'm asking because both 1962 and 1963 census (after independence) Says 45m and 55m for the whole country
