The Royal Niger Company did well for themselves, after all, it was a business company They came to West Africa, tricked the natives that the came for trade and set about taking over the land. When the natives became angry that the white man was now taking too much, the Royal Niger Company brought in a Soldier called Frederick Lugard. They funded Lugard to set up an Army called the West African Frontieer Force. It was with this Army that Lugard overran the area and his wife then bastardised the overrun area with the name "Nigeria" in 1897 That same year, the area that Lugards wife had bastardised with the name "Nigeria" after the River Niger, was sold to the British government for less than 1 million pounds. A British business company came to west Africa and sold our lands, property and people to the British Government for less than a million pounds! Tomorrow, you will continue to answer the same slave name "Nigerian"[/b]proudly We Igbos must reject this slave name imposed on us by the British as well as this contraption and seek our right of self determination as [b]Biafrans It is s disgrace to be called a "Nigerian" |

Nigeria is a name given to us by the adulterous wife Of Lord lugard. We were doing well on Our own till the harlot arrived But we all know that what is keeping Nigeria Together today is Nothing but the Oil. Adekunle the Black scorpion even confessed That the fought for Oil and not the Unity of Nigeria. The British are still ruling Nigeria today by Proxy. The Fulani's are there tools. Wise Up and ask yourself why can't you Rule Nigeria today without their support. The State Creation is also a tool of Divide and Rule. Wise Up. I believe restructuring would solve the problem But if the Elites planted in the House don't want it Then Secession is the only way |
