Nigeria Founders:Fredrick lugard Take On ,igbo,hausa,yoruba by Investigative: 3:30pm On Nov 14, 2021
In the handover note from Fredrick Lugard to his successor, there is something he said about the three nations in the contraption known as Nigeria which was established by him and his mistress, Flora Shaw. Take notice of his emphasis about the IGBO.

Fredrick Lugard was the governor general of Nigeria between 1914 and 1919. Earlier he was the governor general of Hong Kong between 1907 and 1912.

Sir Frederick Lugard handed over as governor general in Nigeria to Walter H. Lang on the 25th of September 1918, and by 1919, he finished his administrative duties in Nigeria.

Follow up please about his note on Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. This will tell you exactly how they view us.

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 fomented 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


They know all this thing and chose to give the power to the north so that it will be easier for them to indirectly rule others in proxy.

For those who believed they were nothing before the colonists came. Who told you? Igbo were already independently developed in their own world. They fought the British for over 30 years through the Ekumeku. They didn't want anyone to come and order them around. Igbo enwe eze. Ị bụ chi m? Are the philosophies guiding ndị Igbo. The British know this. The world know this. Igbo have their own republican and democratical system. The ụmụnna system unite the Igbo. If you try to impose ideologies and western leadership on Igbo, they must be rebellious to you.

Come to think of it, Lugard said: "though industrious". Don't you think this is the major reason some lazy folks hate on you? Industriousness is a follow come on every Igbo.

Being rebellious to the authority of the western world is not a new thing. The Igbo worldview is different. We worship no human. We lick no ass. We don't throw ourselves on anyone cos he or she has power. How can people from a different nation come to control us, tell us what to do in our own land whereas we were doing things, doing business with them; all of a sudden they decided to be forcing us to take those things we sell to them by force, then we begin to pay them tax over what we produce? Mbanụnụ.

A typical Igbo man will rather commit suicide than succumbing to any negative authority and subjugation.

When the Igbo like you, they massively like you. They don't hide it. If they hate you, they don't hide it. It's massive. They have the eyes on good market. Once they deduce bad market, they don't care...they back out no matter what you promise. They hate incompetency. Recent elections in Nigeria and their candidates can be used as a typical example of this.

I really wish some know who they are. Igbo anaghị eme nkụja
. It's even referenced on Vanguard Newspapers

Simple English semantics, you cannot even understand it, yet you want to rule.
And you wonder why they termed you "gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace to any community". grin

The reason Lugard didn't like the Yorubas was because the educated Yorubas of Lagos fought so hard against his Amalgamation Plan that he even had to set up a new Sea Port in Port Harcourt to get away from their influence because they were trying to frustrate his Amalgamation Plan in every single way

Many of them were ex Slaves who had been Sold into Slavery or had Parents that had been Sold into Slavery as a result of the Fulani Jihads invasion of Yorubaland and Collapse of Old Oyo , so why would they agree to an Amalgamation with the very same People who had turned their Lives Upside down

It was still too fresh in their memories

Some Lagos Yoruba People like Herbert Macaulay went as far as Writing the British Government in order to have Lord Lugard replaced

Very accurate. Igbo do not kotow to any foool in subjugation. Why do you think the Fulani wouldn't mind letting go of Igboland to give them the opportunity to enslave you all?

God brought us all together for his own purposes and reasons

To be honest even the Igbos would love to enslave the Ijaws Economically it's not just the North that is why IPOB always drags clearly Ijaw areas into its map

God has given Nigeria a natural kind of ethnic balance such that even Buhari couldn't become president without the South

Ojukwu tried to conquer the South for his own selfish Economic reasons and had already entered into agreement with the French to give them Crude Oil Contracts for their military Support before the War had even Started

Though industrious and religious, in deference to the objectives of her majesty and the crown

Religion: Brought by the whites to subjugate igbos
Deference : (Dictionary) great respect ; willingness to carry out the wishes of others (Oyinbo)

The key adjectives are Hausa-Fulani: Immoral, pleasure loving and depends on luck or chance

Yoruba : Betrayal, disloyal, backstabbing, treacherous, controlled by lust for money and greedy

Igbo : Hardworking, industrious, religious, can't be pushed around and fights oppression

A hundred years later, we can see the reason the country is moving in circles without progress. So when people ask you why the last time there was progress in these parts was when the colonialists were around, the reason is that the country has been governed based on luck like a game of chance by a particular group.

When I was growing up, I often wondered why older Igbo never speak well of Yoruba. If it was because of Biafra, were they the only ones that fought against us? Even the pogrom was mainly in the north. Everything started making sense to me in 2015 and also during End Sars protest. These are not people you can trust and not get disappointed according to Mr Lugard.

This is why every sensible person knows the tribe that has what it takes to make the country move forward, but envy, jealousy and hatred won't let these tribes see the source of their redemption.
This is the same reason they're afraid of Igbo exit. Less than a generation after Igbo exits, we would be competing with Europe while you guys will still be having national discourse on cattle and colonies of cattle.

Thank goodness, the analysis is from those who formed you guys into a country.

so it is actually true, the yorubas of lagos were slaves that were actually freed and dumped in lagos. that means the benis were right about this claims.
