Maintaining The Imperial Status Quo Called One Nijeriya by SHTFguy: 8:27am On Sep 02, 2017
In 1963, during the era of independence, the Organization of African Union agreed to a policy of inviolable borders, which dictated that colonial-era boundaries were to be upheld, with one caveat.

It is this same outdated decree by African imperialist disguised as freedom fighters that oppressive states like Nigeria has deployed over the years to re-echo the non-negotiable stance of a "united" one Nigeria.

Reviewing the caveat on maintaining colonial borders, we can also deduce from history, that the African imperialist was only interested in maintaining the status quo.

The African imperialist appealed to morality on the part of the European and to his fellow natives a false sense of patriotism- Africa for Africans was more a racist plot used by African imperialist to rally support from the natives to oust the colonial masters.

With the exit of the colonial masters, the African imperialist transformed himself to a supreme dictator. It was thus no surprise that the gathering of African despot will agree to support each other to maintain the colonial estate they were handed on a platter of gold by the European.

Since independence era, African countries have been competing among themselves to roll out despots and repressive authoritarian rule and the few rights the average African enjoys was not in anyway by the magnanimity of their leaders and governments but by Western and European human rights groups and govts.

Africans and their leaders have justified their brutal tribal wars just like that of the Nigerian civil war as an African affair that should not bother the European. We have read of how the Nigerian govt and field officers defended the genocide on the Igbos as a necessary evil to keep the European map intact and they were quick to both cite the 1963 AU caveat and that of other African imperialist leaders support in keeping Nigeria one.

If you blindly support a one Nigeria then you support the despot and native imperialist continued oppression of you, your family and entire populace.

The greatest evil about Nigeria is that it is a false nation and to be patriotic to a myth is to deny reality.
