Some Nigerian politicians and the activists claim that Nigeria is a fraud. They say this to support their cheap desire to divide Nigeria. If we go by their claim that their Nigeria is a fraud, who are the fraudsters? To my humble understanding, the fraudsters are the British. They came down and forced us to be together without our consent. This is one of the reasons some good Nigerians believe that Nigeria will not last beyond 2015.
Events are proving that the expectation of these great Nigerians will be granted. Take for instance, nobody can correctly predict what will become of Nigeria when the next general election comes in 2015. Some leaders have already made up their minds never to accept any result of the election not favourable to them. The insurgency in the North, the presence of OPC in South West, the roaring of the militants in the South South and the activities of the kidnappers in the South East pose a great danger to the survival of Nigeria come 2015. In addition to these, the war of supremacy among the political leaders is even more dangerous. This is because the feared militancy and terrorism are products of politics. Despite how guilty we Nigerians are over the state of our dear nation, we still call Luggard a fraudster because of the 1914 amalgamation.
May be somebody should help to make us to understand how to address a political leader or political activist who calls Nigeria a fraud and has refused to refund any part of Nigeria's money in his foreign account. Same person still runs to London to take permission to run for an election in the Nigeria he calls a fraud. Same politician owns houses in London while his kinsmen die of hunger.
How do we define fraud?
Who do we call the fraudsters? The British or their accusers.
Even if there were mistakes made since 1914, why haven't Nigerians seen enough reasons to forgive both the British and fellow Countrymen?
Why?
