Obafemi Awolowo: Nigeria Is Not A Nation. It Is A Mere Geographical Expression.. by wrexs: 1:04pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
Nigeria as a british expression not a nation made by God? Please read from Awo, Zik and TB! “Since 1914 the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite … Nigerian unity is only a British invention” – Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, 1948. “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French,’ The word ‘Nigeria’ is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not” - Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 1947. “It is better for us and many admirers abroad that we should disintegrate in peace and not in pieces. Should the politicians fail to heed the warning, then I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of Congo will be a child’s play if it ever comes to our turn to play such a tragic role” - Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, 1964. 3 Likes |

Oga Seun, dont you think that the chances of Nigeria being a federal state should be discussed rather than promoting disunity and hatred among ourselves. |
