The Reason Behind The North Controlling Nigeria Political Structure by Mc4larin: 7:37am On Aug 14, 2015 |
BRITISH BORN HAROLD SMITH CONFESSED & APOLOGISE FOR MANIPULATING PRE- INDEPENDENT CENSUS AND ELECTION TO FAVOUR NORTH. The man Harold Smith is not new in Nigerian history. He is one of the architects of colonial foundation that midwife Nigerian independence in 1960. I met him in a meeting three weeks ago where he opened up a bit about the lingering problem in Africa especially; Nigeria unbalanced protracted social political situations. We asked if he could make this known to the media. His response was “I am in my 80s now; I have agreed but in the past ‘they’ did not want me to say anything, but now I don’t want to go to my grave without telling the truth about the atrocities perpetrated in Africa by the colonialists. Brothers and sisters; on Ben TV last Thursday, Harold Smith was on a program to reveal what went behind the scene before the independence. The Oxford University graduate had this to say about his role in Nigeria pre and after independence era. ‘Our agenda was to completely exploit Africa. Nigeria was my duty post. When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; strength, intelligence, determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused life style, great hope and aspirations… the East is good in business and technology, the west is good in administration and commerce, law and medicine, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power “at all cost” to the northerner. They seemed to be submissive and silly of a kind. Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts. The west led in the fight for the independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. They will not rule Nigeria! Harold Smith confessed that the Census results were announced before they were counted. Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 Million. This was to be used to maintain their majority votes and future power bid. He stated that the West without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but we ignored that. The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military. According to him, they believe that the south may attend western education, but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given accelerated promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south. We truncated their good plan for their future. “I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them”. We tricked Azikwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria. However, Harold Smith justified theI British agenda of colonialism in Nigeria, which he believed was originally to help build Africa after the ruins of slave trade, but lamented that the British only looked after themselves and not after Nigerian interest. The British really let Nigeria down. When I see Nigerian been accused of fraud and from what I saw on the streets of Lagos; the British were worst fraudsters. Looking at the northern leaders now he said, “If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria. He stated that the British look after the British people and this is so all over the world. He said the time has come now to see people of intelligent minds with an open and inclusive agenda for all Nigerians in power…people who will really look after Nigerians large population…but ”I still curiously and sorrowfully see now that the British has not let go of Nigeria…her wealth,. her potentials, her future. He opined that the Caucasian people now assert themselves as the keeper of the “New Age” keys. He therefore said that it is only logical for Europeans to maintain their position of power, scientific superiority, economic exploitation, they must continue to perpetuate their lies and falsehoods and this is the most unkindest cut of all in relation to Nigeria situation! According to him, Nigeria, a great nation was crippled not because of military juntas or corrupt leaders alone but by the British and American fear of Nigeria great future. He confessed, “The fear of the place that will be our ‘dumping ground’ really occupied our minds”. Some of the things he said were not new to Nigerians or to the whole world but hearing it from the horse’s mouth is quite revealing and established more reality zones. He finally submitted that the colonial masters have caused havoc while they were in Africa, and planted timed bombs when they finally left. What we see since independence, the administration of new internal colonial masters by fellow Nigerians holding sway in power is doing more damage to Nigeria. Instead of detonating the time bombs planted by the British, the north is planting mines. He added that ‘It was my duty to carry out all of the above and I was loyal to my country. Nigerians should try to be loyal to their country leaders and followers alike. Love your country. You have got the potentials to be great again and the whole world knows this’. I am sorry for the above evil done to Nigeria. |

...and coincidentally, the Harold Smith subscribed to the already held prejudices and desires of the writer. The easterners were already selling their kinsmen to the Britons as slaves before 1914 so if they needed silly and submissive people, they didn't have to look far. Where's the link to this article anyway? It sounds more like the pained rants of sudden irrelevance. 5 Likes |

Nothing new here. What is important is that we know the truth and act accordingly. No one will come and develop ur own country for u. The British took advantage of us because we let them. If we r serious about development, then it shouldn't matter where the person in power comes from. But because most of us think of only ourselves we have a mindset that if the leader is not from our place we will be marginalinzed. 4 Likes |

Well I know all these all along cos the North is where we live. But the real truth, I mean the real hidden truth is the Ideology of Islam. With the mindset of hate, conquests, killing/jihad and above all seize spoils of war all engraved deeply in Islam against the infidels or non-muslims, what u get is what Nigeria is today! Dominate at all cost. Even manipulate to favour the side of Allah. When there are resources to gain from south. 1 Like |

Rawani:You need to watch what I watch in Aljazira last night... It was documentary on how France uses Elf to destroy African countries. ...from Benin republic to Algeria, even Angola. ....the white man gave power to those they can control for African resources ....they caused war on Gabon and other countries and watch people die...they did a lot of evil and enthroned evil leaders on africa |

truefact: And you think if they wanted control through manipulation they wouldn't go for the most greedy Nigerians? The system of administration the British met in the North was compatible with their own administrative system, that was the primary reason they chose northerners and established BBC Hausa to further enlighten them and make them even more politically adept. Voice Of America Hausa service was also subsequently established by the Americans and their Hausa partners. 3 Likes |

truefact: I know exactly what you are saying. It's quite true and I've been aware of this fact. However it's not just an attribute of the white man, but every capitalist human being on earth. Do you really think Dangote is taking over sectors of the economy of other African countries without influencing their government? |
Re: The Reason Behind The North Controlling Nigeria Political Structure by ZKOSOSO(m): 10:07am On Aug 14, 2015 |
Rawani: The North economically lacks resources for the 21 century realities. The so called solid minerals are not valuable enough for the high birthrate and religious intolerance of the North. How many foreign investors have express interest in coming over to the North?? No One except Jihadists from ISIS!! |
