What Lord Frederick Lugard Had To Say About Hausa, Yoruba And Igbo ... by ariesbull: 3:28am On Sep 05, 2018 |
*The handover notes Lord Lugard wrote to his colleague, Walter H. Lang, on the 25th of September 1918. The quote reads inter alia:* #HAUSA 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. #YORUBA Lagos has for 20 years opposed every Governor and has formented 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. #IGBO These people of predominantly Eastern Nigeria are fiercely rebellious with no regard for authority. Though industrious and religious, in deference to the objectives of her majesty and the crown, they are highly dangerous to be trusted with power. http://asabapost..com/2017/06/lugard-on-nigerian-tribes-how-true.html?m=1 http://ceekaymadu..com/2017/06/lord-lugard-handover-note.html?m=1 6 Likes 3 Shares

What is the source of this information? I though agree with his position to an extent, especially for the Igbos. This explains why they have always worked against Igbos presiding over Nigeria or being independent. They understand that they will ruin their indirect colonialism. So, to safeguard their interest in Nigeria is for the Igbo man to be sidelined and placed on watchlist. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Well, all he said about the ethnic groups were negative attributes but in the case of the Igbos, he has something positive to say about them I.e they are industrious I'm shocked that he was able to analyze the characteristics of the people of Nigeria and these people still exhibit all those characters he mention even to this day 11 Likes 3 Shares |
