Nigeria’s Identify And History

PART 3: Facts, Dates, and Figures

About Nigeria

Nigeria is a country that has the highest population in the African continent. This is proved by the 21st to 25th March 2006 population census.

Nigeria’s population was estimated to be about 190.9 million (2017) and As of 2019, the estimated population of the country is over 200.96 million, ranking 7th in the world. The Current Nigeria Population as of 2021 ending is about 206.1 million.

Nigeria, which is officially known as The Federal Republic of Nigeria, stands as a border, the Benin Republic on the west, Cameroon on the east, the Gulf of Guinea on the south, and Niger to the north.

Currently, Nigeria is made up of 36 STATES and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
With 109 senatorial districts, 360 federal constituencies, 990 state constituencies, 774 local governments,
8810 wards.

Former Colonial Masters

These are the names of Nigeria’s former colonial masters. They are:

• Sir Frederick Lord Lugard ruled from 1900 to 1919.
• Sir Hugh Clifford ruled from 1919 to 1925.
• Sir Creamer Thompson, ruled from 1925 to 1931.
• Sir Donald Cameroon, ruled from 1931 to 1935.
• Sir Bernard Bourdilion. who ruled from 1935 to 1943.
• Sir Anthony Richard. Who ruled from 1943 to 1948.
• Sir John McPherson. Who ruled from 1948 to 1958.
• Sir James Robertson. Who ruled from 1958 to 1960.

ABOUT FREDERICK LORD LUGARD

Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, 1st Baron Lugard (1858-1945), was a British imperialist and colonial administrator in Africa. He made significant contributions to the theory and practice of the British colonial policy of indirect rule.

In 1906 Lugard resigned as high commissioner and the following year accepted an appointment as governor of Hong Kong, where he remained until 1911.

Then, in 1912, he returned to Nigeria as governor of both the Northern and Southern protectorates, charged with amalgamating the two territories into a single unit.

On January 1, 1914, Lord Frederick Lugard, the governor of both the Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria, signed a document consolidating the two, thereby creating the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria.

Forty-six years later in 1960, Nigeria became an independent state. Anniversaries are times for reflection, and given that today, just over 104 years after amalgamation, the country is still grappling with its national identity and a reanimated separatist movement, it is worth reflecting on how exactly Nigeria became Nigeria.
