The Three Cities Established By Britain In Nigeria by Basic123: 9:30pm On Oct 24, 2017 |
.The 3 cities established by the britain in Nigeria are Enugu,port Harcourt and Kaduna.That is why those three cities dont have very old districts like kano city and Ibadan city. 1.PORT HARCOURT 1912/1913 The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group (a controversial claim). [16] The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Enugu located 243 kilometres (151 mi) north of Port Harcourt, [17] to which it was linked by a railway called the Eastern Line, also built by the British. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Harcourt

ENUGU 1909 In 1900 the Southern Nigeria Protectorate was established by the colonial administration of the British Empire . The discovery of coal by the colonialists led to the building of the Eastern Line railway to carry coal from the inland city to the port of Port Harcourt , a city created for this purpose located 151 miles (243 km) south[11] of what was called Enugu Coal Camp. Enugu was then renamed simply Enugu and developed as one of the few cities in West Africa created from European contact. By 1958 Enugu had over 8,000 coal miners. As of 2005 there are no significant coal mining activities left in the city. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enugu 1 Like

KADUNA 1913 Kaduna was founded by the British in 1913 and became the capital of Nigeria's former Northern Region in 1917. [3] It retained this status until 1967. The first British governor of Northern Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard, chose the present site due to its proximity to the Lagos-Kano Railway. [4] Sir Ahmadu Bello, the premier of Northern Nigeria (1954-1966), was assassinated in Kaduna on January 15, 1966 in an all Igbo military coup. This contributed to the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaduna

Stinking hypocrisy!!! If the ikwerres being Igbo is subject to controversy... Then the '66 coup is also subject to controversy. In my view.. Until the Anioma are reunited with the SE, the Jan '66 coup should always be known as an SS coup 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Basic123:It was not an all Igbo coup. For instance, Wale Ademoyega was one of the plotters. You should also have pointed out that the coup plotter's stated number 1 aim was to make Obafemi Awolowo Prime Minister, a post then held by Tafawa Balewa. Awolowo was then in jail for allegedly plotting a coup in 1963. 5 Likes |

There is nothing controversial about the Coup,it was a majority Igbo military officers Coup with a few Soldiers from other tribes. The main masterminders of the coup were Igbos so what should they have called it. |
