In 1916, Lord Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, the 1st Baron Lugard, the fourteenth Governor of Hong Kong and the first Governor-General of Nigeria, said the following:
“Lagos has for 20 years opposed every Governor and has fomented 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.”

As if that were not bad enough, two years later, on September 25th 1918, in a letter to his
colleague Walter H. Lang, Lugard wrote the following: “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.”

Lugard’s words are utterly reprehensible. They represent the most appalling examples of racial
stereotyping that I have ever seen. Yet he didn’t stop there. In his book titled ‘The Dual Mandate’
(pg. 70) 1926 he wrote the following:

“In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable
person. LACKING IN SELF-CONTROL, DISCIPLINE, AND FORESIGHT. Naturally courageous, and
naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music
and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. HIS THOUGHTS ARE CONCENTRATED ON THE
EVENTS AND FEELINGS OF THE MOMENT, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the
future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European
or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals’ placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the
State he has reached. Through the ages THE AFRICAN APPEARS TO HAVE EVOLVED NO
ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS CREED, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious
sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a
vague dread of the supernatural . HE LACKS THE POWER OF ORGANIZATION, and is conspicuously
deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. HE LOVES THE DISPLAY OF
POWER, but fails to realize its responsibility… he will work hard with a less incentive than most
races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue… In brief,
the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it
is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy…Perhaps the two
traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are HIS LACK OF
APPREHENSION AND HIS LACK OF ABILITY TO VISUALIZE THE FUTURE.”

There can be little doubt that this arrogant englishman was a rabid racialist who had nothing but
the deepest contempt for our people. He was also one of the most uncouth and vulgar souls that
ever polluted our shores with his unwholesome and malevolent presence.

It is one of the greatest ironies of modern history that this ignorant seafarer was the individual
that recommended to the British Colonial Office that the Northern and Southern Protectorates of
Nigeria and the Lagos colony, should all be merged into one large country. That recommendation
was accepted and consequently Lord Lugard can legitimately be described as the chief architect of
modern-day Nigeria.

It was actually Lord Lugard’s wife, Miss Flora Shaw, that proposed the name Nigeria for our
country. This was done in an article that she wrote for the London Times on January 8th 1897.She
and Lugard got married five years later in June 1902 after which she became known as Lady Flora
Lugard. Shaw was well connected.

Her mother was a French lady of Mauritian stock by the name of Marie Adrienne Josephine and
her father was Major-General George Shaw, a respected British army officer. She was colonial
editor of the Times of London where she wrote an influential weekly column titled ”The Colony”.

She was not only stunningly beautiful but she also had vision and substance. Given that, one finds
it difficult to comprehend what an enterprising and extraordinary woman like this found attractive
in an abominable scalywag like Lord Lugard. I daresay that this was a classic case of the beauty
and the beast.

Despite his pretensions of love Lugard despised the numerous ethnic nationalities of Nigeria and
he continuously expressed his contempt for us with his insulting and condescending
commentaries.

Perhaps his best known intervention was made in 1914 in a letter that he wrote to the British
government just a few weeks prior to the amalgamation. He wrote as follows:

“What we often call the Northern Protectorate of Nigeria today can be better described as the
poor husband whilst it’s southern counterpart can be fairly described as the rich wife or the
woman of substance and means. A forced union of marriage between the two will undoubtedly
result in peace, prosperity and marital bliss for both husband and wife for many years to come.
It is my prayer that that union will last forever”.

From this contribution it is clear that ours was a ”forced” union. It is also clear that Lugard saw
northern Nigeria as a ”poor husband” that needed constant attention and support whilst he saw
southern Nigeria as nothing more than a ”rich wife” or a ”woman of substance and means” whose
plight was to be constantly pillaged and ravished.

This was his vision: a northern Nigeria that was essentially the ”head of the household” and that
would remain in control of all the power and resources of the state and a southern Nigeria that
would play the role of a passive and subservient wife whose destiny it was to remain in perpetual
subjugation and bondage.

Sadly this was the crooked foundation upon which our union was built. What made it even worse
was the fact that the so-called ”southern wife” and ”northern husband” were never asked if they
wanted the marriage in the first place.

The truth is that the British colonialists were masters of divide and rule. The amalgamation of the
southern and northern protectorates was a Greek gift which was designed to fail and to crumble
at the appropriate time. Nigerians have done well to have held it together for so long and the fact
that we have only experienced one civil war is miraculous.

Despite all pretensions, the only thing that has kept us together is the oil of the Niger-Delta and
the extraordinary resilience, patience, faith, fortitude, zeal and strength of the Nigerian people
themselves.Mr. Sola Adebowale, a writer, understood the mindset of Lord Lugard. He captured it
rather well on Facebook in 2014 when he wrote the following:

”Lugard was a stark illiterate and it was quite unfortunate that that was the best that imperial
Britain could send to Africa. Hence he was noted to have vehemently opposed native education
for Africans. And he was said to have loathed the educated and sophisticated Africans of the
southern coastal regions who had been educated by the Christian Missionaries before him and
instead wined and dined and positioned the uneducated feudal hordes of Africa to the forefront
of leadership of Africa. Is that not the albatross against many African nations till date? Hence the
moral right of Devil Lugard to pontificate about Africans is questionable”.

Mr. Adebowale has hit the nail on the head. I concur with his submissions.

Permit me to end this contribution with an interesting aside. It is generally agreed though not
commonly admitted that both Lugard and Flora Shaw were Luciferians who practiced the black
arts and all manner of satanic rituals. He was a “High Priest of the Freemasons” whilst they were
both avid folllowers of Aleister Crowley, the leading satanist of his day and the self-styled “worlds
most wicked man”.

This explains a lot. It also explains why Shaw gave us the name “Nigeria”- a name which has
questionable roots. Anyone that doubts this should consider the literal translation of Nigeria from
latin: it means “the area of darkness” and there is a deep spiritual and mystical reason that she
gave us that name. It comes with a lot of baggage because not much good can come out of an
area of darkness.

Most of the former British colonies changed their names after independence for similar reasons
but because most of our leaders in Nigeria were not aware of these matters they refused to do so.
Lugard and Shàw were an unlikely couple who had no children. What held them together was
more spiritual and mystical than anything else and Nigeria and the Sudan are their joint legacy to
the world.

Sadly both countries are having major challenges today. Sudan has broken into two after a
protracted and bitter civil war whilst Nigeria is experiencing serious regional, ethnic and
religious tensions. It is clear that our nation needs a good deal of prayer. May God deliver us
from Lord Lugard’s magic and his beautiful wife’s spell.

source pls, this is a wonderful piece from my friend femi as usual

I think this should grace the FP.

I once heard a motorist, B.Sc. holder, making such a claim though. He advocated for a change of name.

I believe in one Nigeria!

Africa as a whole was bewitched by white spell. Directly or indirectly we are still be governed by the western world.
Only God can help.

Aareonakakanfo:
As much i agree with some of the things said here, i feel the article is too one-sided. One can easily percieve the fact that FFK has some grudges with the guys up north. Just my opinion though

the truth will always be truth wheather we accept or not,,,,,,,the word "Nigeria" is one mighty evil,,,,there is a curse to that Name.

SOUNDKING:

you the didn't put it well for the fellow, " the truth is a bitter pill that must be swallowed for healing to take place"

we igbos have made our stance clear long ago, we have no shared values with the feudalist north or the monachist west, we and some minorities that made up old eastern region have a comon histroy of republicanism.

I did not read this text

Lalasticlala.

FFK is a man of high cerebral composition, an avid historian and a man who says the truth irrespective of whose ox is gored.Initially, I didn't seem to like his utterances much,basically because of the weirdness such utterances epitomized,however, I have come to appreciate the level of awareness his recent write-ups on our sociopolitical dynamics has brought . Concerning the the post,he has absolutely hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head. Nigeria is one because of the southern oil,once the oil is gone, there shall be no geographical entity called Nigeria.

Even though Femi Fani Kayode is unreliable and inconsistent, but he makes sense sometimes.

If any attempt is made to change our name today, the same people that have problem with us being called Nigeria, will kick against it. I have always advocated that, if we desire to, our name should be changed to "Songhai", after one of the three kingdom that existed in West Africa during the Trans-Saharan era. Fani-Kayode will be the first to kick against it. Songhai covered parts of today's northern Nigeria, which he has some reservations for.

Apart from Ghana (Gold Coast) and Benin (Dahomey), I will want to know which other African country changed its name after independence.

Cote D'Ivoire is the same as Ivory Coast. The former is French whiler the latter is English.

this mad man called olukayode has started again.Is he trying to insinuate dat we divide!May the spell continue if that we keep d unity of this country

So, you can't decipher what the son of Fani-Power is stoking? His father was like that too. I remembered how he generated ruckus with the Igbo's sometimes last year and how he tongue-lashed GEJ too. He too perfectly after his father who are either paranoid or simply love tilting the facts to achieve a predetermined end.
No sane Yoruba man can take a man that at a point in time wanted us to take arms against Igbos, was the greatest attack on GEJ and the man who inadvertently popularized PMB.
He is a very untrusted man whose stomach is his GOD and even when he seemingly speaks the "truth" , its for a nefarious agendum. He is more than despised by any man who can see beyond his ploy and may generations mourn the dark art usage of talented oratorical sophistory nature bestow them.

so Denrele could be related to Flora Shaw?

Aareonakakanfo:




Eeeer..... but how come these differences weren't discussed when Azikiwe was collaborating with northerners

Zik was an Hausaman forget About the name
No Igboman had ever held him in high esteem
Have you ever heard any igbo taalking about Zik

When shall we assume responsibility for our destinies?

God doesn't build nations; people do!

We lack the capacity to know that the Whites only created nations that will benefit them! How long shall we blame others for our woes? A thousand years?

I respect this man so much.. he speaks with zeal and utmost alacrity.

True talk notwithstanding we still need the help of Jah.

True talk notwithstanding we still need the help of Jah.

Within us lies limitless powers, abilities and faculties designed by Providence to enable us create and design the very type of society and life we desire. Whether or not we will deploy those resources accordingly and pay the price needed for our success and development, is another issue; but God has ALREADY made all help available.

Aareonakakanfo:

No is not one sided my friend. Femi's high light is not even deep enough. Spiritual #3 was also inculcate in crafting into "A Nigeria of heagelian dialectic matrix in dystopia". Occultist minds were also involved. Dystopia which means chaos or anarchy in perpetuity can be crafted in dialectic, using a primary dialectic material. The primary dialectic material used in nigeria dystopia were the falsification of the first National census showing the arid north as more populated than the densely populated south. Crafting for a desired outcome required absolute understanding of the subject matter to be act upon, hence the above observation of the tribes by Lord Lugard as highlighted by Femi. #3 is a spiritual #, and is also understood by the occults. Inside the spiritual ring, 2 will always stand against 1 cos there is no other one(making it 4) to counter balance the 2 in order to create a balance, stability peace, development etc, instead of dystopia.

Time on
