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.

Are you really this way or is someone handling your account?? Do you really hate igbos this way?? All the whole thing you read here is only TRUST of the igbos that you really picked??

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, on the yoruba.

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

What kind of education do we receive today. Somebody posts comments, claimed Lugard wrote them, yet everyone is ready to swallow it for truth without any form of skepticism or doubt. In this age of fabrication? Na wa ooo

stonemasonn:
which history book did you read? Which war? My guy most of the Igbos were living in hamlets oblivious of the other except for the Benin ruled Igbo clans. They were clothed by the Europeans and they embraced the European religion faster than any region.

this comment sef.

hmm!with the present occurences and events happening in our present day nigeria i'm left with no other option rather than to agree to the above statements of lord lugard.

BanevsJoker:

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.

My comment was not borne out of hatred. Those I quoted were being mischievous. If you talk about stubbornness as the only crime of the Igbos, couldn't we also say that the Yorubas were labelled as disloyal because they wouldn't be loyal to the Queen?

Nickizoe:
Are you really this way or is someone handling your account?? Do you really hate igbos this way?? All the whole thing you read here is only TRUST of the igbos that you really picked??

I am sorry, Nicki. If you check the posts of those I quoted, you would notice how they hamper on the menace of the Fulani-Hausa and the disloyalty of the Yorubas and then pick a lesser more understandable bad quality for the Igbos as if that was the only thing that was mentioned. I only wrote to let them see just how horrible Lugard saw everyone. I think the people I quoted were being mischievous and tribalistic.

The Aro Confederacy, whose powers extended across Eastern Nigeria and beyond was challenged in the last decades of the 19th century by increasing British penetration of the hinterland. The Aro people and their allies resisted the penetration which threatened their culture, influence, and sovereignty.
Reasons for the war advanced by Sir Ralph Moore, the British High Commissioner of the Nigerian Coast Protectorate, included:
To put a stop to slave dealing and the slave trade generally with a view to the Slave Dealing Proclamation No. 5 of 1901 being enforced throughout the entire territories as from first of January next; to abolish the Juju hierarchy of the Aro tribe, which by superstition and fraud causes much injustice among the coast tribes generally and is opposed to the establishment of Government. The power of the priesthood is also employed in obtaining natives for sale as slaves and it is essential to finally break it; to open up the country of the entire Aro to civilization; to induce the natives to engage in legitimate trade; to introduce a currency in lieu of slaves, brass rods, and other forms of native currency and to facilitate trade transactions; to eventually establish a labour market as a substitute to the present system of slavery.[1][2]
The Aro peoples use of divinatory practice in shrines dedicated to the god Ibin Ukpabi, to dominate enslavement activities, was perceived to be contrary to the imperial ambition of British powers, which was the cause of a need to consequently destroy the primary shrine, based at Arochukwu (according to: JI Ross, 2015). [3]
Aro Opposition[edit]
The Aros knew that British penetration would destroy their economic dominance of the hinterland. They also opposed their religion, Christianity, which threatened their religious influence through their oracle Ibini Ukpabi. The Aro led raids and invasions on communities were conducted in order to undermine British penetration since the 1890s. While the British prepared for the invasion of Arochukwu in November 1901, the Aro launched their last major offensive before the Aro Expedition by British forces. Aro forces led by Okoro Toti sacked Obegu (a British ally) which resulted in 400 people dying. This attack quickened British preparation for their offensive.
Aro Expedition[edit]
Sir Ralph Moore and the Royal Niger Company had planned the attack on the Aros and the Ibini Ukpabi oracle since September 1899 but due to lack of necessary manpower, it was delayed until November 1901. On November 28, Lt. Col. A. F. Montanaro led 87 officers, 1,550 soldiers and 2,100 carriers in four axes of advance to Arochukwu from Oguta, Akwete, Unwuna and Itu on a counter-insurgency campaign. As expected, Aro forces resisted all axes strongly, although they lacked modern weapons. However, Arochukwu was captured on December 28 after four days of fierce battles in and around the city. As a result, the Ibini Ukpabi shrine was allegedly blown up. Battles between British and Aro forces continued throughout the region until spring 1902 when Aro forces were defeated in the last major battle at Bende. The Aro Expedition ended three weeks later.
Result of the war[edit]
Some of the Aro leaders, like Okoro Toti, were arrested, tried by tribunals, and hanged. The Aro Confederacy was destroyed and Eze Kanu Okoro (king of Arochukwu), went into hiding but was later arrested. Although Aro dominance crumbled in March 1902, many Aros took part in later resistances against the British in the region such as in Afikpo (1902–1903), Ezza (1905), and other areas where the Aro had a particularly significant presence. The defeat of the Aro did help the British in their imperial agenda of conquest of the interior, but serious opposition to British penetration in Igboland clearly did not end with the Anglo–Aro War. In the years that followed, the British had to deal with many other conflicts and wars in various parts of Igboland such as the Nri Conflict (1905–1911), Ekumeku War (1883–1914), Igbo Women's War (1929), etc.

My forbears were not like the Eshugbayi Elekos and their brothers who handed everything in governance over to the white man whimpering and without a fight. We fought to retain what was ours. We were and are still brave. The story I read there runs contrary to what some people claim here, calling Igbos cowards.

Exactly, Lugard saw us in the light of our resistance to colonialism. He found the Igbos and the Yorubas hard to break and thus labelled them as stubborn and seditious and the Hausas he found to be at first, hard to tame too, especially when their religion was being threatened. It was hard for Lugard to make friends with Attahiru and went to war against Sokoto. Even when Sokoto fell, Attahiru refused to be friends with Lugard. One cannot expect him to have anything good to say about the three major tribes.

This was beyond Lugard. It became necessary because the northern protectorate placed too much burden on the British treasury. The amalgamation was simply aimed at freeing the British treasury of that burden. You can check that here: https://books.google.nl/books?id=lDFEOHnOl-0C&pg=PA85&lpg=PA85&dq=nigeria+amalgamation&source=bl&ots=L-IpQqa3Ny&sig=VgH_veQ4w7A0z8d0XG-2DpTnJNk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiy-bGTx7vUAhVIMZoKHc3qCpc4ChDoAQhTMAc#v=onepage&q=nigeria%20amalgamation&f=false

See this excerpt if you have problems following the link:
"It took effect with Northern Nigeria's 1913/1914 fiscal year and continued through the first four years after amalgamation, ending in 1918. No doubt the Treasury and Colonial office were pleased with the new arrangement. Treasury officials were rid of Northern Nigerian as a drain on the Imperial funds...."

If you're interested, you can also research statements about "the promising youth and the southern lady of means"

Now, when you hear trash from certain people saying the resources of the north were used to develop the south, you know what to reference.

Shut your dirty igbotic mouth! You make provocative statements and expect people to like you, how is that possible? Look at the way you insulted yoruba and hausa in this thread. Lugard insulted all ethnic group, but you decided to use it to boost your stupid ego while rediculing other tribes.
I think you igbos are irritants and useless.

korent265:
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

You're the only commenter on here who has actually contributed any real information, rather than simply using this transparent fabrication to engage in empty tribalistic chest-beating. Unfortunately, your valuable contribution won't make any difference to the many intellectually-challenged individuals who are busy using the OP's nonsense to insult millions of people from outside their own ethnicity; low-IQ bigots don't want to read anything that will interfere with the ridiculous feelings of tribal "superiority" that seems to be their only means of justifying their otherwise impoverished existences.

The very first slave en route rebellion ever to happen in the history of humanity was by Igbos called "Igbo Landing".

Fiscal federalism will not change anything. It will only increase ethnic tension in the country. Dont you guys learn from your father's past? You want to repeat their mistake.
Total disintegration is the key, not regionalism.
If we yorubas have our country, then we can practice regionalism.
