Which Nigerian Citizen(s) Signed The 1914 Amalgamation? by Menh: 3:17pm On Oct 04, 2017
Nnamdi Azikiwe was born in 1904 (was 10years old when the 1914 treaty was signed).

Obafemi Awolowo was born in 1909(was 5years old when the 1914 treaty was signed).

Ahmadu Bello was born in 1910(was 4years old before it was signed).

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was born in 1912(was 2years old before it was signed).

Who and who signed these papers on 1914 and called it amalgamation of the Northern Region and Southern Region, that we shall live together as one family without War, Marginalization, Conflict of interest and crisis?

These Nationalists mentioned above are still sucking breast at the time of this agreement.
You can't mix Red Oil and Palm kernel Oil together to get a good result.

You can't play Jazz and Etigi or skelewu in the club house at the same time and expect a good dance. Is it that we are learning how to spell Democracy in our country or the teacher does not know how to teach?

Our problems started in 1914 because we don't know who signed it and there names and there intentions for signing it.

If the so called imperialists white signed it in the midnight while we were sleeping, the cock has crown, we have brushed our teeth, and taken our bath. Our eyes have opened to look for the amalgamation treaty and do something about it.

No Northerner can sleep with his eyes closed in the Southern part of Nigeria and no Southerner can do the same in the North. Inter marriage is a Golden egg.

After 100 years we are still importing toothpicks, going abroad for medical checkup, our lucrative cash crops has gone to moribund, Education for all by the year 2050, Unemployment is a baptismal name for graduates, a police officer cannot boast of his work because of vestige of his salary, our Obasanjo Space Center and Satellite Office at Airport Road Lugbe Abuja can not trace the location of Sambisa Forest.

Let's restructure this country based on equity and justice, the present arrangement of Nigeria is faulty and can no longer stand the test of time.

Restructure Nigeria or back to your tent oh Israel.

There was no treaty. Lugard sat somewhere in the North and wrote a letter to the colonial office in England in 1914 telling them that it would make more sense to amalgamate Northern and Southern protectorates. They wrote back to him giving him permission to do so and thats how Nigeria was created.

This so called "one Nigeria" and the "unity of Nigeria is non negotiable" was all just a colonial office permission.

Lugard was smooth criminal. He knew that bringing the North and South together was going to be a disaster. That is why for the 5 years Lugard was Governor -general of Nigeria (1914-1919) he rarely permitted Northerners to live or even come to the south.

Most Northerners did not know anything about Southern Nigeria until Lugard left in 1919.
