”By Lugards 1914 Amalgamation Document, Any Region Can Secede in 2014-Shuluwa”

http://www.naijapundit.com/news/by-lugards-1914-amalgamation-document-any-region-can-secede-in-2014-shuluwa    Date Published: 29/11/2012 

Most of the nations with ethno-religious and inter-ethnic disagreements and failed to do a Sovereign National Conference, are either in armed conflict (Congo DR) or have since disintegrated – Yugoslavia, Sudan, Eritrea (from Ethiopia), and even Scotland, from the UK, is on the verge of opting out of an unpleasant union.

December 31st 2013 – January 1, 2014, will be the last 24 hours for an amalgamated Nigeria according to records trumpeted by significant Nigerians, not excluding ex military ruler Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB).

Perhaps that is why we hear things like: ”A Northerner Must Emerge in 2015 Or Nigeria Will Divide- Lawal Kaita”

But long before then was this quote: “Since 1914, the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite … Nigerian unity is only a British invention” – Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa who was reported by the TIME MAGAZINE of October 10, 1960 to have said there was no basis for Nigerian unity and it was only a wish of the British.

The word NORTH (AREWA), in Nigeria, is the most echoed in the polity. It must have be echoed a zillion times since January 1914 when allocation of political and economic resources in this vast land with vast opportunities and natural endowments, began.

“The British needed the Railway from the North to the Coast in the interest of British business. Amalgamation of the South (not of the people) became of crucial importance to British business interest. He said the North and the South should be amalgamated“.

“What is critical and important are the reasons Lugard gave in his dispatches. They are as follows: He said the North is poor and they have no resources to run the protectorate of the North. That they have no access to the sea; that the South has resources and have educated people“

I can imagine.... Its getting even more clearer wher those prophets get their prophecies from. Dey actually research dis things. But Lugard was'nt a prophet so how come we can't change dat by educating d north more other dan taking us back to stone age. More Almajiri schools will help. Gej till Musa goes to school cool
