Modern day Nigeria battles with a series of plagues brought about by the amalgamation monstrosity- the Boko Haram ethno-religious insurgency, continuous incensed struggles for lofty position of power, shaky secession plots nursed by the Igbos under the umbrage of MASSOB, internecine clashes between major and minor ethnic groups on different scales and in different theaters, continuous angling for a larger chunk of the national cake with certain region feeling exploited with others bringing little or nothing to the revenue table, militancy et al.

@Nazgul, do you think all these negatives wouldn't have occurred if there were no amalgamation? Countries like South Sudan, Somalia, Niger Republic have their fair share of negatives despite their homogeneity/anti-amalgamation beliefs

Presently, Nigeria is in the grip of pernicious domestic terrorism, corruption,poverty,high level of unemployment, kidnapping for ransom and sundry of other violent crimes which have become so pervasive to make the country unstable. Who is to be blamed for all these misdeeds? Lord lugard? 1914 amalgamation?of course it is an absolute No!
The major problem facing Nigeria is the issue of bad leadership and the citizens don't got it wrong in the way our leaders emerge. Many who found themselves at the higher echelon of power did not merit such position which makes it difficulty for many of them to live up to expectations.
