1. The British met an organized people that had already developed administrative systems with emirs and their ruling councils which made it much easier for them to govern through the indirect rule system. This is documented in several historical books on the subject.

2. To suggest it was due to subservience is total rubbish. Sokoto fought several wars against the British in the 19th century and even defeated them in one battle. There is a throne (chair) sitting in the Sokoto museum to this day, which was gifted by the Queen of England to one of the early Sultans, and had the sculpture of a slave in chains at the top. The Sultan refused to sit on the throne until the sculpture was cut off from the shoulder up; another act of defiance from the sultanate.

A little education leads to a little information.
A little information leads to a little knowledge
A Little knowledge leads to a little more question
A little more question leads to people calling you Igboman
A little after that, they call you Biafran
..and then you'll soon be sounding like Nnamdi Kalu!

Is it not better just keep your ignorance, and hatred for Igbos?

horsepower101:
Good point. I don’t disagree with any of that but even though their conquest was on pause, their ambition was and is still alive.

Ojukwu also refused to play the dumb nigger role too which seal the fate of Biafra.

horsepower101:
Zik was a product of his experience. He studied in America and saw the racist treatment of black peoples. Just like kwame Nkrumah, he was a an Africanist. He wanted a united Africa.


Looking back now, it was a fantasy and a big disaster. We may all have different shades of black skin but we are not the same.

We have fundamentally different value systems.

horsepower101:
The British met the Fulanis in the middle of conquest.

They were both doing the same thing when they met each other.

Being that none of them are originally Nigerians or indigenous to Nigeria, it was easy for them to relate.

The Fulanis submitted to the British on the condition that they won’t interrupt their conquest in the North and also will not build missionary schools in the North to spread Christianity and western education.

YungMillionaire:
Gbam. Even in America if a black person seem to be too smart, the whites say he is an 'uppity ni55er.' No be today.

YungMillionaire:
Because the whites do not like black people who stand up to them...the Fulanis realized that and pretended to be fools so they British hand over the entire country to them.

AllenSpencer:
They are the smartest and most united!

Simple!

Onijagidijagan:
Jonathan marginalized the yorubas and insulted our leaders. He relied on d North, ss, se to win but d northerners betrayed him.

Atiku will be betrayed in d next election.

Kennyswagz1:
but ironsi and azikiwe made sure igbos dominated everything when they had power same thing during gen regime. stella oduah is an example.
What rubbish equity are you now saying?

mrvitalis:
Obj is from north right ?
He is not Yoruba candidate ?

Why not support Joe igbokwe to pay us back

bonianyi:
supporting SW is like adding salt to the injury. You people did not deserve any support both in election or otherwise from SE. Your betrayers and cowards

kettykin:
Why on earth should a state that is not the federal capital be given special status. The Niger delta region is the only region that should warrant special attention, Lagos should be treated same way as lokoja and calabar which were former capitals of Nigeria

Tobichimezie:
When you're done ranting like a lunatic, go remind your shameless father his 5 months rent to his Igbo landlord is overdue, Papa Emeka no dey smile this December ooo

Staro:
This OP is just an unrepentant tribalist.

The Lagos special status bill was knocked out by the majority
Northern law makers in the then NASS (not SE lawmakers).

By the way, on what grounds are you giving a special status to Lagos really?
We have Kaduna, Ibadan, Calabar, Enugu, Port Harcourt all craving for development.

Dedetwo:
Only when there is intellectual exercise based on logicality. Lagos was a mere township and built into a state by special federal government benevolence. It is a show of tribal selfishness to ask for Lagos State to be given special status when other cities in the federal have not even enjoy what have been granted to Lagos as a city from the federal republic of Nigeria. This is one of the reasons I have will continue to advocate for disintegration of the zoo called Nigeria. It is a matter of good will for ethnic nationalities to go their different ways because Nigerians do not mean good for other Nigerians who are not in the same ethnic block. Lack of unity.

Tranquillity360:
but you will never be president in this life.

Tell me how you are better than an Igbo man in the street.

Tranquillity360:
Shady and unreliable children of hate from sad waste.


Always hateful.

Charleys:
Lagos is just one state, Lagos is not the capital of Nigeria.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Yelobam coward spotted.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Happy birthday to a strong and brave Yoruba man. If only your kinsmen were as brave as you and FFK.

OsunSkullMiner:
I'm one of the others, mind your own state because I didn't mention your state or region.
I created this thread for someone else.

OsunSkullMiner:
Did I mention about the human trafficking/slavery/prostitution from your state to Europe? Why don't you mind your own region
