Today marks 104 years after Sir Fredrick Lugard almagamated the Southern and Northern Protectorates which later formed Nigeria. He did so by opening the railway bridge over the Niger River at Jebba.

Railway construction started in Lagos in 1893 with the Lagos line passing through Abeokuta and Ibadan.

That merging of the northern and southern protectorates will soon go into the Guinness book of records as the biggest blunder anyone has ever committed since the days of Adam!

The day should be declared a public holiday, as a national day of mourning!

The gateman that brought this trouble upon us


It should be stated that Lugard wasn't an expert but just a mere gateman of a company that left only for him to stay back and create this calamity

The worst Blunders are

* Greedy Azikwe stoping refernedum cluase in our pre colonial constituition and screaming one Nigeria because he is adicted to yoruba land
* Nzeogwu bloody coup killing yoruba and fulani leaders for power
* Aguyi Ironsi cancelling regional constituitional and Prof nwabueze writing a central unitary constituition thinking Ibos can lead forever
* Ojucrook decieving children and dumb adult to fight a war against who fed the here by starving 3 millions to death and running like a coward only to come back in 80s to contest and fail a senatorial election

Lord Lugard and his successors built
*India
*HongKong
*they built Sea Ports like Port Harcourt
*they thought us western Education
*they brought christianity and reduced ritualism
*they stop caniberlism in one primitive region
*they stopped killing of twins in a primitive jungle
*they built makor Educational instituitional that are still present today

It was the biggest mistake in West Africa to have amalgamated the North and South protectorates. Had the British known what calamity this would bring, I dont think they would have done it

"One Nigeria" is the scam of the century

Evil day.
Imagine a white harlot suggesting the name Nigeria after hot sex.

Country born out of fornication.
