There Was A Country- When Nigeria Was United by chisom83(m): 8:16pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
Once upon a time. In 1956 there was a country... whose first Mayor in a place called Enugu was a Fulani man by the name of Mallam Umaru Altine. He was not appointed but elected TWICE as Mayor. There was a country which has a place called Port Harcourt. The people of Port Harcourt elected a man called Chief John Umolu (from Etsako in today's Edo State) to represent its municipality in the Eastern Region House of Assembly. In 1959 there was a country, a country where when its Eastern House of Chiefs was constituted a man named Mallam Umaru Yushau, the Sarkin Hausawa or Chief of the Hausas in Onitsha, was elected as a member of the Eastern House of Chiefs. In 1957 there was a country which has a city called Kano. Kano celebrated the appointment of one Felix Okonkwo, as a special member of the Northern House of Chiefs. In 1950 in a place called Lagos Olorunimbe was the first Mayor of Lagos with Mboni Ojike as his deputy In 1952 a man from Ogwashi Ukwu, by the name of Chike Ekwuiyasi represented Benin West in the Western House of Assembly There was a country....What happened to that country? To the Nigerian youth. Those who knew this country have deprived you of knowing your history to satisfy their own selfish needs. Copied and Edited. 1 Like 1 Share |

That country disappeared after the British left in 1960 and was proclaimed dead in 1966/67 As Ojukwu said in 2001 "Nigeria was a country that began the journey to see if it could be a nation on October 1st 1960, unfortunately, it never happend to this day" |
