The Two "Nigerias": Why Dissolution May be the Final Solution

By: Afolalu, Julius

Discover the untold story behind Nigeria's divided identity

Did you know that during British colonial rule, Nigeria was seen as two separate countries, Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria, instead of one united country?
Lord Lugard, the architect of this colonial creation, viewed these areas not as a single entity but as two distinct nations, leading him to choose the term "amalgamate" over "unity" to describe their relationship.
Delve into the notion of "Two Nigerias," a phrase coined by the renowned George V, British monarch (1865-1936), reigned during WWI, which uncovers the profound division deeply rooted in the colonial framework.
Despite this recognition of Nigeria's dualistic essence, why do we persist in imposing a singular identity upon it? Since attaining independence in 1960, Nigeria has grappled with discord rather than harmony, often witnessing ethnic tensions escalating into bloody violence.
Instead of trying to force this incompatible union, why not embrace the diversity and let each country go their own way? This book argues for the dissolution of Nigeria and encourages readers to join the conversation and help shape a future of post-Nigeria.
