Still not making any sense.
The two protectorates were British then and they did whatever they wished to their "conquered" territories that were not yet "civilized". But when the people decided to become "civilized" by acquiring western education and wanting to rule themselves, that means they had become civilized according to the western standard.

Luggard did the right or wrong thing should be equally applied to the slave era as well which ended with the British stoppage of slave trade trade across the Atlantic.

Black emancipation in the US can be akin to the de-amalgamation, referendum and secession in Nigeria which Zik and Ironsi refused. US blacks wanted to reverse the evils of slavery but Zik and Ironsi wanted to perpetuate the evils of Luggard. Other countries around the world were colonized as well so not only Nigeria.

You can as ask those other countries who gave their colonial masters the right, remember that the US was once a colony of Britain. Use your brain

Your reply strays from my original comment and did not counter any claims . I used Anambra and Akwa ibom as examples because the topic relates to igbo state ,not Northern Nigeria, and I love Onitsha Anambra.
I know Nigeria had a civil war a few decades ago, but maybe there are things I'm unaware of . I would like to know how Igbos are marginalized right now ,plus any refutation to my other assertion. I'll appreciate a sound and factual explanation.

Their wish, in as much as Onne, Warri, Calabar ports are functional now and people are importing from those places and you insist importing from Lagos, whose fault?

So many Nairalanders would be laughing at you already for not knowing that those ports are operating at the moment, stop displaying your ignorance to the world and use your brain.

enemybulldozer:
I keep saying it. There's no way I can make sense to you because of the way your brain is structured.

Back to the topic... What made the two protectorates British when we all know that the British are not native of Africa??
That is why people with working brains like Biafrans always see nigger-area as a British fraud while people like you with abnormal brains will always fight to keep this British fraud one.

Niggeria was not only colonized but created by the British and that is fraud of the highest order before God and man. Yet some people are busy doing all sorts of devilish things just to keep the fraud alive for the British and such people always parade themselves as intelligent and wise people that is what baffles me.

Lastly, that the US was once a British colony does not mean Britain created US the way they did in nigger-area.

Learn how to use your brain for once it will help you.

Call Nigeria any name including Hell, it doesn't change the fact that you'd still be needing the Nigerian passport if you are to travel out.
If you call Nigeria any names thinking you're spiting Nigerians or Buhari, na for your pocket so use that brain

Igbos are never marginalized whenever they get what they want but immediately they lose it, they become marginalized. Don't mind them.

oyatz:
1) Where is the SEA in Anambra or the whole of the S/east? Can you build Seaports without a Sea?

2) Where the did you get this idea that people from Anambra are the highest importers?

Can you list the first five products imported into this country and those who import them.

3) Can you exactly explain how massive importation via Anambra State will increase the IGR of Anambra given that revenues from Ports in Nigeria goes into the federation account.

4) Are you aware that massive importation does great damages to the economy of a third World Country like Nigeria? Why can't we focus more on EXPORTATION like in the 1950s-1960s when we exported more than we imported.

Massive importation only started around 1973-75 with influx of billions of Petrodollars.
