The four British colonies in West Africa were
Gambia, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and
Nigeria. In 1912 Casley Hayford and Dr.
Akiwande Savage conceived the idea of a
United British West Africa, and in 1919 they
founded the National Congress of British
West Africa (NCBWA). That year there were
strikes by dockers in Lagos and by railway
workers in Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The
Gold Coast Independent called Marcus
Garvey’s Back-to-Africa movement a “great
Negro awakening” and connected it to the
NCBWA, which had its first conference at
Accra in March 1920 with delegates from
the four colonies, which each formed
branches. In order to provide a connection
between the NCBWA and the West Indian
and American Pan-African movement,
Ladipo Solanke and Herbert Bankole-Bright
founded the West African Students’ Union
(WASU) based in London in 1925. In 1927
Solanke published his United West Africa at
the Bar of the Family of Nations to promote
universal suffrage. In 1929 Solanke went to
West Africa and spent three years there
raising money for a hostel and founding
branches of the WASU. When its president
Casely Hayford died in 1930, the NCBWA
faded away. *Sigh*, it is a fact we are just disproving as the right answer is 1919 cos majority of the links and texts are silent about the date it was founded.#peace# i rest my case o fynnest, promisechild kayking and others.
