• W3207625141 abstract "This paper navigates on North-South relationship in Nigeria: A socio-political and religious reappraisal. Nigeria is a country with different cultural, linguistic, political and religious backgrounds which have interaction among themselves via trade, commerce and other levels of interactions that characterize human relations. One of the memorable periods of her history is footnoted by the event of 1 st January, 1914, when Lord Lugard on behalf of Britain, amalgamated the Southern and Northern protectorates into one geographical entity called Nigeria. Forty-six years later in 1960, Nigeria became an independent state. Given that today, just over 107 years’ amalgamation and 61 years after independence, the country is still grappling with national identity and has remained in controversy. This study takes a look at Nigeria’s contemporary national issues especially those that emanated from the obvious domination of the polity by the Northern Hausa-Fulani extraction, lack of respect for true federalism and federal character principles. The study adopted qualitative and sociological methods to juxtapose the link between Nigeria’s contemporary national issues and the 1914 amalgamation. It notes that before Europeans arrived in the territory that is now Nigeria, a number of different civilizations existed whose presence is still felt today. The Study found that this marriage call amalgamation made the political management of the country very difficult. It observed that the implication of the 1914 unification of the protectorates of Nigeria was for administrative convenience of the colonisers and not for the people. The study also observed that the emergence of ethnic militias; the struggle and agitations for recognition and self-determination; as well as religious, ethnic and communal conflicts; evident in the activities of Boko Haram and ISWA terrorist groups; Fulani Herdsmen, unknown Gun men and the Niger Delta militia groups and the more recent case of the revived movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), from the South -Eastern part of the Country are the consequences of the fusion of the protectorates of Nigeria. It further established that the root cause of some of these national issues to the disaffections, marginalisation and failure of the central government to fully integrate the people of these regions into the affairs of the state and recognise the fact that the country is made up of people of diverse ethnic nationalities, religious groups and located in different geographical environment and must be treated alike and equally. It concludes that to address the problem of North-South relationship in Nigeria, Nigerian leaders should de-emphasize ethnic consciousness and should encourage postings of civil servants to other areas outside their states of origin to encourage unity of purpose among others." @default.
