What really happened??

BEFORE THE AMALGAMATION
As early as 1898, the British considered combining the then three protectorates to reduce the administrative burden on the British and allow the rich South to effectively subsidize the much less economically prosperous north.

Northern Protectorate (Nigeria) had been running on a BUDGET DEFICIT for 10 years. Two Separate Countries Are Created in 1900
PROTECTORATE OF NORTHERN NIGERIA and the PROTECTORATE OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA. The Two countries were governed separately for 14 Years.

The High Commissioner: FOR NORTHERN NIGERIA: SIR LORD LUGARD
FOR SOUTHERN NIGERIA: SIR RALPH MOOR

The Two Countries had different: - *Colonial Personnel *Legal Systems * Educational Policies.
On January 1, 1914, Sir Lord Lugard merged the two separate countries together.

Ms. Flora Shaw, a journalist, girlfriend of Frederick Lord Lugard first used the name Nigeria in an article published in 1897 London Times; the future Lady Lugard coined the name Nigeria. (This was 125 years ago).
