- Nigeria gained its independence from Britain in 1960, having been a colony and separate protectorates as far back as 1885, but has its colonial history continued to shape its political present? We dive into the consequences of English colonisation and how it has continued to influence Nigeria.

I"m from Algeria and I was looking for some information about this topic for my next exam...it is really hepful...thnks chap!!
I am a Nigerian ,the history lesson you just gave is fair enough by me..thumbs up..
I'm from Nigeria too
Happy Independence Day Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️ greetings from
a ghanaian
This is a perfectly worded, perfectly organized and perfectly summarized lesson on Nigerian history. Thank you!
I want to be as honest as I can be, "I have never enjoyed learning about history this much"
Nice work bro!
Summary is, we were never meant to be together as one country.
Excellent videos my man. Very educational.
Wow amazing summary👍🏾
This was a great summary
So basically what this whole thing is saying is that if the tribes in Nigeria had been left alone then we wouldn't have to go through so much suffering and poverty today coz we would have never left our self sustaining farming to become wage earners.. understood
The brits taught our leaders corruption too.
Great video!
thanks! Great video
Nice explanation. Gj TRT world
very awesome video. explaining everything with in 5 mins
The presenter is on "Africa Stream" and is pretty good.
Nice work Sir, thank you.
YOU ARE A LEGEND
"Indirect rule meant that the bootlickers, collaborators and traitors could remain in power, as long as the British collected their taxes."
--Fixed that for you.
The Nigerians of the South fared much better because they ultimately welcomed the British because of all the infrastructure and education they were receiving. To this very day they fare much better as a result of their openness to colonialism. The North suffers because it rejects infrastructure, modernity and education.
@@MrJustonce123 That's not true. Northern Nigeria was the center of commerce in west africa before the british came, the arabs travel all the way to Borno State to exchange goods. The north was known to be a center of commerce as the majority of the people there were farmers, the british also used northern funds to drill out oil from the south. Before the 1970s, Nigerian economy depended on agricultural products from the north and south making the economy one of the biggest in the world at that time. The Nigerian economy started to crumble when the government started relying on oil as the main source of foreign exchange. The northern and southern part of the country only exists today as Nigeria because the brits needed a way to move agricultural products from the north to the south and then ship them to europe through the ports of lagos.
@@h_maina That history is a BIG lie. Go and verify. It was even cooked up less than 20 years ago
Thank you!
Well explained - the background music could be a bit quieter.
Another type of slave worth mentioning is the Chief Eunuch (known as the Chief of the Girls). He was an Abyssinian slave captured by the Ottomans whose job was to manage the concubines. He was made a eunuch for obvious reasons. People always like to stress that he was black because of their hatred for black people but his subjects were other East European Eunuchs. He became very powerful in royal politics kind of like Varys in Game of Thrones.
Tomorrow is my English exaaam.

Thank u bro
Super , greetings from jkrta
Brilliant
Good luck Nigeria

A very good overview. The British like the North as they had experience of Muslim countries in other parts of it's Empire, they liked the way in which it was a very Centralised religion and therefore easy to manage. Whereas in the South the various Tribal religions the few colonial administrators could not really fully understand them, it was simpler to have then covert to Christianity, also being coastal regions the Nigerian would have had exposure to Christianity from their contact with Europeans. The "Scramble for Africa" 1885 forced Britain to merge the various Tribes into one ( Two Southern/Northern) Nigeria this imperfect fit sews the seeds of conflict, partially abated by having a Federal system rather than a Centralised constitution. In my opinion one of the primary issues affecting Modern Nigeria is its dependency on Oil for it's Tax revenue, it represents about 80% therefore the the Government need to be swayed by the electorate desires as their Tax is but a small percentage of the National Treasure.
The North vs South problem is still existing. Just recently, my cousin in Nigeria (Igboland) was texting me about gunmen from the North coming to her area killing innocent people for no reason. She saw her friend get shot to death.
I am an igbo it is a lie those that killing people in the east are igbo called ipob created by Nnamdi Kanu so no fulani I'd killing anyone in igbo land.This group are agitation for their own country fulani dear not go to East and kill

So Nigeria needs to leave aside this pseudo conflict set up by the british invaders and not only have territorial unification but also unification of the hearts.
There was no need for the unification of North and South, we are totally different in everything.
not gonna happen nigeria is full of tribalism and religious seperation if only you knew what was happening in the middle belt of nigeria where the two religion meet and the three sides converge you would understand why it is necessary for division
Nigeria is a Country of many Nations.
@@apogeemars8735 yep and that's one of our weakness if split there will be up to 7 nations with so many different tribes as the country would be split by geography, religion, and so on
@تشارلز حكمة it's not three people if it were to split there would be at least 6 nations and we have over 250 ethnic groups and over 500 languages , if we tried federalism (each state governs itself and has a certain lvl of autonomy) like our constitution says we should then maybe it might work or something like what the UK did with it's different nations but the ones in power won't let it happen as demonstrated by the civil war .to top it all of we also have religious differences to settle

The British were more active in the south cah there was bare lucrative oil fields the South was dominated by the Igbo and Yoruba and the British invested heavily in education for the locals
as well as infrastructure such as road and railways the South were predominately Christian . The people of the North were Muslim not as rich in resources and not as educated as the people of the South
They should have broken off the country back to her previous colonies before granting independence. Nigeria was born out of colonial interest and I personally don't see the need to maintain the status quo. Oh wait, we have selfish leaders who couldn't care less about the average Nigerian plight, as long as they have fat bank accounts.
The brits taught your leaders corruption. Before colonialism it was difficult to be corrupt to your people
They officially took control of roughly modern Nigeria in 1885 and divided it into North and southern Nigeria
"Thousand died" - do you mean 3.5m?
2022 and it is still a problem
Hello. May I have your permission to share this on my Instagram page?
no

Correction- Arab not Egyptian, your people are not indigenous to Egypt nor Africa. The Arabs in modern Egypt are no different than the Europeans in south Africa.
Africa does not mean black. Africa is a diverse continent, even the black people are mixed themselves. The Northern part of Africa had always lighter skin color, even before Europeans came. Arab people only account for 14 percent in Egypt.
Ironically most modern Egyptians have more African admixture than those from Antiquity.
@@seanezeh2290 ironically the ancient Egyptians were described as black skinned and woolly haired by all ancient sources.
@@Ufu4847 black people are the only indigenous people of Africa. similar to how white people are indigenous to Europe and red people are indigenous to america.
the Berbers are a mixed race people who incorporated Arab and European blood through interracial relations.
@@Ufu4847 North Africa always had a large black population dating back to the earliest times. The Romans, Arabs, Vandals, Greeks, Assyrians, Persians, Jews, vikings, Gauls, and Turks brought lighter blood into north Africa.

The Ottomans had this slavery thing on smash. Like I said, different ethnic groups were suitable for different work. For example, the Mamluk were a warrior class of slave (the sons of East European concubines) that were given military training then manumission (freedom) but were expected to remain loyal. They went on to establish the Mamluk Empire in Ottoman Egypt kind of like the Romans.
The West African slavery is so shameful because it was the result of intense infighting amongst indigenous tribes. For example the Yorubas raided and captured an entire village in their spiritual motherland Ile-Ifa, the cult of Ochossi were all packaged and sold to the British and the Portuguese in exchange for whiskey and mirrors. These slaves were willing to die to protect their religion and culture to the extent that their masters began to worship the same idols. These idols go wayy back to the Babylonian era under the Assyrians. History just repeats itself.
I’m from 🇬🇧
I'm a Nigerian. It's was three protectorate system/ region, North, West and South before the 1914 amalgamation. Any way nice job
No, he is right. it was South and North initially and then It was later divided to west , north and east
You lost the cultural appropriation debate when you wore that hat 😜.
I know, right? He even has no business wearing a dishiki. That's for Africans only. He is not apart of the African tribe.
@Shaggy Maluze: Says who?
@Shaggy Maluze: Sorry, I respectfully disagree. I'm black just like them. Rather they come from the east, west, or from a different country. I believe we are one global family throughout the disapora. I'm just saying.

It’s Millions, not thousands
Honestly, his bias shows throughout the video. It’s not even the first time he lied.
1)He says the January coup was done by “Igbo loyal” officers despite the fact that literally every historian, even the pro Nigerians historians, maintain that that is not the case and there is no evidence of this
2) he also omits the fact that it was the north who” rejected western education” who were in favor of colonialism and lynched southern peoples for opposing colonialism. The 1953 Kano riots are a prime example of this.

Hi
Muslims talking about "colonization" . ROFL :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))). How did Northern Nigeria become Muslim? It just happened? True, the quality of "colonization" differs. You can see the different standard of British Christian vs. Arab Muslim colonizers in how the South vs. North is today in terms of education, security, crime, infrastructure, women's right etc.
Islam arrived in Nigeria in the 11th and 12th centuries through trade, migration, and through the travels of the scholar-mystic-wayfarer along trade routes, through the regions of Kanem and Bornu had been in contact with Muslim traders as early as the 9th century.
@@Ainanshe0fficial good story, bro. Please tell me how it got to the Balkans through mystics. Hell, tell me how Turkey got to 99% Muslims through "peaceful" means and trade.
@@abygorsonabor7982 it’s not an opinion or something me and you can explain it’s history and the history of How Islam come to Africa is through trade and then intermarriage occurs, then what do you expect then it’s easy to change a persons identity through intermarriage than their religion.
@@Ainanshe0fficial yeah, yeah, cool story bro. Please explain to me the historical factuality of the 1001 nights as well.
@@abygorsonabor7982 are we just arguing here or we educating each other. You don’t even approve to me if what am writing for you here is correct or incorrect. You just saying yeah yeah cool history🤦🏽♂️ educate yourself man. Don’t feel like I hate christian Nigerians but don’t ever come here and try to defend the disgusting European colonizers. You should have been shamed to yourself.
TRT - Why don't you talk about OTTOMAN CRIMES?
Ottomans were justice governments not like west
Hahaha, Ottoman itself was destroyed by British devide and conquer. Just burn your Union Jack. It is a useless jack
@@__Man__ Divide and conquer? No, we put an end to that useless outdated empire that had no place in the world.
@@JJaqn05 why outdate? 600+ years is not outdate. Now the Levantines are suffering in ethnicity and religion because of Sykes-Picot agreement due to devide and conquer during British and French rule in Levant
I was born and raised in USA but my dna revealed that I’m 21% Nigerian 21% Ghanaian and west Bantu. I see your wearing African clothing do you just like our patterns? Or what I’m genuinely curious are you some African?
I will make sure Biafra becomes a country
I am with you bro
Ottoman empire also imported a ot of slaves from East Africa. Just sayin´
Nobody denies what Ottomans did, even in really popular Turkish soap opera's .You can see how people where kidnapped, how woman who are offered food on the ship heading to Ottoman empire said "I'd rather die than eat your food you filthy Turk!", where other females inspect the female slaves (concubines) of the sultan on health by looking at their face, eyes and even between their legs.
But you can't find the same things about western countries, the very few movies are not as graphic as they where.
You don't see how people picked apples with muzzles on their face and how the hands of their children where cutt of when they didn't work hard enough as a punishment.
No countries is completely good or bad, but the truth is, the difference between some countries is really big.
Divide and conquer? more like Unite and conquer.
get rid off this narrator trt world. cringe 1.15
It's like the Yorubas doesn't exist.
What ??
Stop playing ugga dugga bongo in the background please
