The Frederick Lugard colony whose 1914 merger of the Northern and Southern Protectorates created "Nigeria" as an administrative convenience, and whose 1960 independence defined Nigerian unity ever after.
Colonial Nigeria (1914-1960) — the British-administered territory created by Lugard's amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates into a single colony whose name, suggested by journalist Flora Shaw, united peoples as distinct as the Hausa-Fulani Muslim north, the Yoruba southwest, and the Igbo southeast under one administrative framework. Britain's indirect rule system governed through existing traditional authorities, deepening regional differences rather than forging national unity, while Nigerian nationalist movements led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello negotiated the independence that came on October 1, 1960. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Lugard amalgamation and Colonial Nigeria heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
