Who Signed The 1914 Amalgamation? by dtruth50: 9:02pm On Oct 03, 2017 |
Shocking Question.. Who signed the 1914 Amalgamation? Nnamdi Azikiwe was born in 1904(was 10years old when the 1914 treaty was signed) Obafemi Awolowo was born in 1909(was 5years old when the 1914 treaty was signed) Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was born in 1912(was 2years old before it was signed) Ahmadu Bello was born in 1910(was 4years old before it was signed) Michael Okpara was born in 1920(the treaty has been signed 6years before he was born) Who and who signed these papers on 1914 and called it amalgamation of the Northern Region and Southern Region, that we shall live together as one family without War, Marginalization, Conflict of interest and crisis? These Nationalists I mentioned above are still sucking breast at the time of this agreement. You can't mix Red Oil and Palm kernel Oil together to get a good result. You can't play Jazz and Etigi or skelewu in the club house at the same time and expect a good dance. Is it that we are learning how to spell Democracy in our country or the teacher does not know how to teach? Our problems started in 1914 because we don't know who signed it and there names and there intentions for signing it. If they so called imperialists white signed it in the midnight while we were sleeping, the cock has crown, we have brushed our teeth, and taken our bath. Our eyes have opened to look for the amalgamation treaty and do something about it. No Northerner can sleep with his eyes closed in the Southern part of Nigeria and no Southerner can do the same in the North. Inter marriage is a Taboo. After 100years we are still importing toothpicks, going abroad for medical checkup, our lucrative cash crops has gone to moribund, Education for all by the year 2050, Unemployment is a baptismal name for graduates, a police officer cannot boast of his work because of vestige of his salary, our Obasanjo Space Center and Satellite Office at Abuja can not trace the location of Sambisa Forest. And I repeat it again, who and who signed this treaty. 8 Likes 2 Shares

These are serious questions. I keep asking myself these questions, as i do not see any likeness between me and a Fulani. We are too different, our way of thinking is different, or is it culture? We are too damn different. Take away the Hausas and Fulanis, Nigeria will be a better place. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The British did. They felt that instead of running 2 seperate companies, why not just merge them together and use less staff to run it. The contraption called Nigeria today was actually 2 British companies merged, Royal Niger Company and Niger Coast Comapany. 7 Likes 1 Share |

delugajackson: You don't have to look exactly like a Fulani or share the same religion or culture to belong to the same country as long as the right of every citizen is protected. |
Re: Who Signed The 1914 Amalgamation? by delugajackson: 12:24am On Oct 04, 2017 |
Guestlander:You made a valid point. But this is not applicable in Nigeria. Here, the rights of citizens are either trampled upon or overlooked. Individual values are different and so are our way of viewing things. People tend to view things through the prism of tribe, ethnicity, political affiliation and status. All of these factors are what limits us as an entity. 3 Likes |

moninuola65:Well, let me widen your understanding on that. When the British first arrived Africa, they met Biafrans and they were addressed as such and slaves that were shipped from that area were categorized as coming from the bight of Biafra. Biafra then covered all of what they call today South East/South South but not Benin. The British had difficulties colonizing Biafrans as they resisted the British lording it over them, from Igbo to Ijaw and from Urhobo to Itsekiri - they all rejected colonialism. You can imagine how humiliated the British felt that black monkeys and slaves rejected their superiority. Eventually, Biafra was conquered and subsequently made a British protectorate on 10th June 1849. However, the British might have decided to punish the Biafrans for rejecting their superiority. Seeing the Hausa/Fulani as weilding tools to be used as house slaves against the field slaves. This is why you notice Biafra throws up a whole lot of bile in the North than anywhere else. Biafra existed as a geographical expression of it's own. You may try to deny it, but this is an unavoidable truth. 3 Likes 1 Share |
