LUGARD'S DUAL MANDATE ON NIGERIAN TRIBES
1922...( Copied from Mathew Mbanaja"s wall)

*The handover notes Lord Lugard wrote to his colleague, Walter H. Lang, on the 25th of September 1918. The quote reads inter alia:*


HAUSA
The Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist, spendthrift and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace to any community to which he seeks to attach himself.


YORUBA
Lagos has for 20 years opposed every Governor and has formented strife and bloodshed in the hinterland…, I have spent the best part of my life in Africa; my aim has been the betterment of the natives for whom I have been ready to give my life. But after some 29 years, and after nearly 12 years as Governor here, I am free to say that the people of Lagos and indeed the westerners are the lowest, the most seditious and disloyal, the most purely prompted by self-seeking money motives of any people I have met.


IGBO
These people of predominantly Eastern Nigeria are fiercely rebellious with no regard for authority. Though industrious and religious, in deference to the objectives of her majesty and the crown, they are highly dangerous to be trusted with.


Hit it miss



you wonder why most of the inciting propaganda in the country always emanate from lagos ibadan lying headquaters aimed at always blackmailing innocent people?

When you read "Yorubas are the problem with Nigeria" written by Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, you will understand Lord Lugard was spot on. Very selfish, seditious, treacherous and fickle minded set of people. Satan must be happy the day yoruba was created because he found a perfect home in the heart of the yorubas.

This is the same attitude that drove Awo to betray the igbos because of the post of finance minister and his presidential ambition and went ahead with abandoned property, indigenization policy and the 20pounds policy. Evil people

Thermodynamics:
He did not speak anything good about the three ethnic group. He only came to Africa for his own selfish reasons, he came here just for our resources, He is a thief, a treasure hunter. Well he was only right about one thing, about his opinion on the Hausas/Fulani, those people are leaches, they have absolutely nothing to offer, they are as dumb as a day old doughnut. Since they don't value their lives, they are ready to kill themselves along with others so they can get what they want, that is why the rest of Nigeria is afraid of them. I think the Yorubas and the Igbos will do well independently, if Nigeria splits, I also think that Niger delta will also do well, we should stop fighting ourselves and let the West, The South and The eastern region come together to make an agreement and split out of this curse called Nigeria. I think we will do more better.

It is always laughable to often hear some so called elder statesmen say the ethnic nationalities in the country cannot stand separately. Same goes for those with juicy political posts or are nursing political ambitions harping the shared baseless sentiments. Some will even say God have a hand in Nigeria's creation by 'Pastor Lugard'. Well, God cannot support a Tower of Babel that best describe Nigeria formed without recourse to Social Contract. NEVER!!! That no region can stand alone and prosper is a big fat LIE that nauseates.

The last part of his comments about the Igbo people shows that he didn't trust them to be obedient to British rule. That's the only crime of the Igbos, self determination. Till today, they are still hated for it. But tell me, is it a crime to want to be in charge of your own destiny? Lugard noted that Igbos were industrious, very true, but still handed over power to the Hausa-Fulanis, because they didn't care about anything other than cattle. Now you see that Nigeria was born out of greed and selfishness of the British.

How can you bring an Housa man that has no ambition, a Yoruba man that likes shading blood (ritualists), an Igbo that does not obey authority together and call them one NIGERIA?.

Why won't an Igbo man be stubborn when he is dealing with those that has no ambition and those that likes shading blood?.

why wouldn't the yorubas be shedding Igbo blood when he knows they are dangerous and not to be trusted according lugard.
Re: What Lord Lugard Had To Say About Hausa, Yoruba And Igbo by Ziluxger: 12:36pm On Jun 13, 2017
Lugard claimed the Hausas are without Ambition, the Yorubas disloyal and the Igbos industrious though with no respect to constituted authority and they claim the love us and yet handed over power to a man without ambition. They didn't see the other two men with ambition no matter how disloyal or stubborn they are. No wonder we are where we are today.

Every human is dangerous in his own way, an Igbo man cannot trust you when he knows that you'll betray his trust and sell him just like you did to MKO. It is only a fool that will be gentle in the mids of killers.

You guys just keep spreading this lie every time. i have read through this dual mandate book by this lugard fellow and i havent seen anything about him referring to fulanis, yorubas and ibos in the manner in which is said here. Even the so called william h. lang that he supposedly handed over to looks to be an invention buy some vagrant as there is no one in the records of colonial nigeria or even africa that has that name (I stand to be corrected).
This is the link to the dual mandate in case anyone wants to read it and stop spreading rumors just for your despicable propaganda

Nwanne, it is not 12yrs, its 30yrs. It took them 30yrs to conquer the east. Oba Dosumu willing surrendered lagos without a fight. talking about cowardice [/uote]Yoruba cowardice was such that there could be regarded as the only large tribe in black Africa to capitulate to colonialism without putting up a single fight. As soon as British convinced them they aren't gonna kill them but rather they would protect them from rampaging Dahomean women who were chasing them into hiding behind olumo rock in abeokuta,yoruba submitted to slavery hence lagos was infamously declared British protectorate.

LordOfNaira:


It was not only stubbornness he mentioned for the Igbos. He said they were dangerous to trust with. It means you couldn't trust them with a country or anything worth keeping.


And he handed over the country to killers and non ambitious tribes. Now do you have trust in this Lugard?. Why didn't he separate them after these observations to goan form their different countries?.

It is better to hand me over to those that are industrious, religious, hardworking, untrustworthy and uncontrollable than to hand me over to non ambitious and killers.

dangerous meaning they are a threat to their interest. hence they must not be trusted with the leadership of Nigeria so that they will not grow and develop Nigeria to the extent that Nigeria will threaten Britain's interest and power

He said the Igbo people could not be trusted to obey the Queen's rule. Their only crime was their refusal to submit to British rule. Remember it took them 12 long years to finally subdue the East. It had nothing to do with integrity, so stop quoting him wrongly. I know hatred won't let you read and understand.
