Another Story

To understand Nigeria, you need to appreciate where it came from
In 1900, Britain officially assumed responsibility for the administration of
the whole of what we now know as Nigeria from the Niger Company
And then, gradually over the years, British protectorates were established
throughout the territory
In 1914, the protectorates were amalgamated into one Nigeria
Actually, there’s one additional detail that bears mentioning. In order to take
over the territories from the Niger Company, the British Government paid 865,
000 pounds. A huge amount in 1900. So let’s establish a simple truth,
the British didn’t travel halfway across the world just to spread democracy
Nigeria started off as a business deal for them, between a company and a
government. Incidentally, the Niger Company is still around today.
Only it is known by a different name, Unilever
But that’s another story
