The amalgamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria in 1914 was to allow Lord Lugard to transfer or appropriate resources from the wealthy Southern Nigeria to develop the impoverished Northern Nigeria.

This was captured in a letter he wrote to his wife Flora Shaw in 1912.

In 1914, Southern Nigeria was joined with Northern Nigeria Protectorate to form the single colony of Nigeria.[2] The unification was done for economic reasons rather than political—Northern Nigeria Protectorate had a budget deficit; and the colonial administration sought to use the budget surpluses in Southern Nigeria to offset this deficit.[3]

Thanks for the tips.

It's because of fraudulent cases like this that gives rise to secessionists.
The sadest part is the north that gained from this transaction has still not been able to grow up and become self sufficient.
I always say that an unstable element will eventually crumble starting from its weakest point.
