Historical buildings should be well preserved.


The Amalgamation remains the most significant policy to Nigeria till date, and yet even the building most related to that event has been abandoned.

He joined Heartless Killers,Traitors/Betrayals and Peace Loving people together. How can it work?

Please complete your comment by putting respective tribes beside those descriptions you put up there.

Woe on to that day

Why are you people cursing someone that died a long time ago. Yes, he did what he did, but we have gained Independence since 1960...60 freaking years ago. If Nigeria was a human being, she would be in her old age now. How can we still be blaiming someone that died years ago over our condition?

BankyGee:

Ours is greater than UNREST bros.

REALITY SAYS DIFFERENTLY

Steewpid man

The mistake we're still suffering from today and will continue to suffer tomorrow and beyond until this deed is undone

Igbosmoker:
British will surely pay one day for what they did to my people.

they won't pay shishi.


Nigeria is a coward country that can make any other country pay for anything.




no thanks to the fools calling themselves government.

Kekereekun123:
We are not the only country joined together. Others are progressing and moving on well. We are here still weeping

Must we be joined together just because of the fact that same thing was done to others? What if it's not for own good as Nigeria of today shows.

ThatFairGuy:
The deed has been done! We can't change the past but future can be suit to our taste. ENOUGH of the noise

Story, is that why they don't teach you history in school?

God bless Lord Lugard for uniting Nigeria.

Have you seen India and Pakistan dragging one small state?

Hong Kong?

gidgiddy:


Why isn't your own progressing like others?

The country was built on tribal lines... Even now it has not changed.

None of them fought for "Nigeria" they fought for NORTHERNER or SOUTHERNER.

Even the name NIGERIA wasn't from a Nigerian but the colonial master

rottencorpse:
Lord Lugard was the man who amalgamated the Northern and Southern Protectorates in the year 1914. He was married to Lady Flora Shaw. Here are some photos of him and the amalgamation process:

May you and the founding fathers of Nigeria and the British rot in hell.

No peace for you people until this country or others born out of it progress

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.

Like the NORTH is not landlocked?
You think it's a bad thing to be landlocked?

.

Who would think of joining Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Iraq together to form one country?


Anyone doing that knows he is creating a failed country.

Well, Nigeria is a failed country.

Because since Independence, we have lived on the myth that we have enough money, when in reality we don't.

Our economy is based on selling stuff, and then using the revenue to import stuff in value higher than the value of our exports. That's why our economy is always in a bad state.

And that's why I don't support true federalism or even breaking up the country. Because it is an invitation for the bigger parts to fight the smaller parts for control of raw materials. (Yes, Sudan is not invading South Sudan, but that was because they spent 10 years thrashing out the terms of secession, and people on both sides were willing to make compromises.).That's what the first Civil war was all about. Control of resources, and to be honest, if every part of Nigeria was industrial then, there probably would have been a separation long time ago.

Until Nigerians and their government learn that the issue is every part of this country becoming productive, and that the biggest business of this country should be manufacturing and not resource dependency, we are going to remain backward.

Most African states too are in the same way. Amalgamations....that are resource dependent. And that's a sad thing. And instead of us to develop polices and to even make the sacrifices needed to be developed, we would rather sit down and blame Lord Lugard, and refuse to use our god given brains to even manufacture one pin.

This is the koko of our problems, and not whether we divide Nigeria into 2 or 36 countries. As long as we continue with the economic model bequeathed to us by the British, which makes exporters of primary goods and importers of finished goods, we will always be in economic and political doldrums.

Some people need a scape goat to blame all their failings and faults on. These people never takes responsibility for their failings, but look for every other person or situation to blame, even a man that died more than 80 years ago, before their grandfather was born.
It's like the Christian devil, a convenient excuse for our failures.

The day the evil spell was cast! We are still praying for deliverance up till date. I know, one day, we shall be delivered...

So why we're you not delivered in 1960 when we were allowed to govern ourselves?

GBAM! You have said it all.

gidgiddy:


And thats why it is time for Nigeria to break up. It is time for us all to undo this mistake Lugard made in 1914 of bringing incompatible people together. It is time for us to admit that this union cannot work

The union is not the problem. Blackman is the problem. How many ”black” countries are doing well today? Yeah, it's easy to blame every other person but yourself. You are the problem with Nigeria. An average black man is mentally lazy, hence why they hold unto God and hope he'll come to their aide one day. Lazy black skin mf!

you earn the right to determine that by economic and military might. Of which we have none. Naso e be

Abeg told dem (according to chief Zebrudaya - alias 4:30). Helep me ask am whether na Lugard make Aba look like slum inspite of the governor collecting hundreds of billions of naira from Abuja since 1999.
Na Lugard say make the government no build research institutes, libraries, training schools, universities and even secondary schools in Anambra and other states in the south east.

This Lord Lugard na powerful spirits o.

codemaniacs:


the reason they hold unto God is still because of european indoctrination and brainwashing.
the reason ”black” countries are not doing well today is because the europeans use what is called indirect rule, they are ruling through Nigerians that are subservient to them.
An average black man has been mentally incapacitated due to the same europeans.

You're wrong. Before the so-called ”European indoctrination”, black people were already lazy God worshippers. The ”Europeans” as you call them, only replaced your archaic religion with a more sophisticated one. I mean, who holds onto ”Fan yogo” if Coldstone is been offered for free?

An average black man has always been mentally incapacitated that's the ONLY reason why another race can travel thousands of miles to your land, fight you, defeat you, enslaved you, and even had the time to brainwash you. You are still mentally lazy if you really think religion and indirect rule is why you're backward.

cruxgemmata:
Tinubu square in 1914. ;

Tinubu wasnt even born then.

Somebody enlighten me

There was a lady born in the 19th century who was a slave trader called madam tinubu.so it was named after her

Tribalistic goats should not come and spoil this beautiful thread if you are igbo and you trying to complain remember it was one of you sons (as you call it) that stood for the continuation of the amalgamation then in 1960 the north no even put mouth there was no evidence of them having any intellectual dedication to stopping or assisting the amalgamation
We have Nigeria now and if we put all our differences behind us and work together like the one people we are we can become more than the giant of Africa let make our weakness our strength
#one Nigeria
