Nigeria became a sovereign nation in 1914? This is the most ignorant assertion i have ever seen. Maybe you don't even understand what 'sovereign' means? Billyonaire: FASHOLA IS IGNORANT HERE. |

The circumstances might be different at the moment but I would like to end with words spoken by a great statesman, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in 1967, at another time when our country was at a crossroads: ‘Only a peaceful solution must be found to arrest the present worsening stalemate and restore normalcy.”“I adopt those evergreen words as my own today and urge all those involved in any form of conflict or disagreement to pursue peaceful solutions,” he stated. Even Awolowo, whose words mean so much to Fashola kept his distance from nationalism, preferring instead regional self rule. So why is my Governor such a strong advocate for national unity and community? 1 Like |

zomby: Abeg, Oga Fashola stop wasting your time. Good point! It makes no fvkng difference whether you celebrate amalgamation or independence, our togetherness is a poison thats killing the individual parts....give self rule back to the regions and downsize the center, period! We are not interested in a continued union at the center. The people should find their union in ethnic independence, not in Nigerian independence, whether you call that 100yr old or 53yr old. 1 Like |

What birthday does the United States celebrate? The birth of the first colony in 1607 or the amalgamation of the 13 colonies (1733) or the declaration of Independence in 1776? Secondly, should Southern Cameroon also celebrate the Amalgamation of 1914 since it was part of Nigeria in 1914? 3 Likes |

So many ignorant people on Nairaland here. Northern Protectorate and Southern Protectorates were amalgamated in 1914, thats when Nigeria became a Nation although a colony of Britain. 1960 is when Nigeria got Independence from Britain but her sovereignty was established in 1914. Any other assertions is bullshit. |

A-ZeD:Though you're right and i'm not disputing the original meaning, but it depends on the context that you're using the word. I could use "Concieve" to replace born dependind on what i'm talking about. Anyway, i don't even know what bearing the word has on my original assertion. |

1914 is rather a more important date that 1960 to me. 1960 is when we decided to rule ourselves and its been hell. 1914 gave us identity. |

Guys, what did we not have, that through the amalgamation of 1914 we were blessed with? Likewise, what did we lack, that through the independence of 1960 we have since acquired? This is the bottom line when we think of our current and future situations. |
Re: Fashola Condemns Nigeria’s Centenary Celebration Plan by Nobody: 1:39am On Oct 02, 2013 |
See ignorance at its finest! Some old dude with hairy nut sack doesnt know the meaning of sovereignty nd its application? My gawd! This is a major disgrace! 1914 is only relevant as regards uniting the Northern and Southern protectorates - this only set the stage for '1960 Nigeria'. Pretty much irrelevant and not worth celebrating - it is like acknowledging British imperialist and self-serving move to be a 'good' deed. 1960 remains the koko. 3 Likes |
