Nigeria is the creation of European/British Imperialism. To call Nigeria a country would be incorrect.

Even the name Nigeria was created by Flora Shaw, wife of Lord Luggard and is believed to secretly mean: Negro-area.

Nigeria is a combination of various tribes., most of which were ancient enemies. The Fulani conquered the Hausa. The various Yoruba wars which have not been properly documented. The selling out of the Alafin of Oyo and Oba of Benin to the British slave and colonial masters.

It goes on and on...
Nigeria was purposely created to oppress and suppress certain ethnic groups like the Igbo, Ijebus, Warri, etc
The amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates by the British was done to empower certain tribes over others.

Nigeria will never be united because it’s foundation was based on deep rooted cultural and religious differences which is till today being exploited by the colonial powers (neo-colonialism)

Sir....
You know what? This was very well written. I was waiting on an article like this cause I think that this is one of the main factors for why Nigeria is having so much difficulty.
I agree with this the more that I do research on this issue.
Why would hundreds of tribes be forced to live together peacefully when so many factors differ (mainly language and religion etc.)?

My brother it’s like putting English, German, French, etc in one country. Them don shove Nigeria down our throats by force. God dey!

I don't live in Nigeria...never have.
But clearly, there's a problem somewhere.
You are right about your first sentence.
I don't think it's a bad thing to have different types of people...but even in the U.S. where it's supposedly a "melting pot" of cultures, there still exists some of the most segregated neighborhoods in the world.
The segregation is based on language, culture and religion..people of like minds who can communicate with each other in whatever language they speak.
Oh and by the way..I'm a woman....
Hope you aren't offended by that.

Offended? Most def not..
I don’t live in Nigeria either., uk based.
It’s a conspiracy...the whole country is a fraud.
Conspiracy to hide the identity of certain groups

Conspiracy you say?
Perhaps....could be some truth to that
I'm learning to "never say never"...when it comes to human beings.
Just curious..but what "certain" groups' identities were they trying to hide?

Your write up is nice but calling the Oba of Benin a sellout is totally wrong.
It was due to his refusal to sellout that British went to war with Benin Kingdom.

Agreed he put up a fight against the British. By sellout I mean partaking in enslaving certain groups and selling to Europeans. The Oba of Benin also ensured his Edo-Bini people were not enslaved. The slavery was competition between Benin and Oyo
