Lord Lugard’s Magic and Flora Shaw’s Spell - by FFK

In an article titled 'Lord Lugard's Magic and Flora
Shaw's Spell', former PDP Presidential spokesperson,
Olufemi Olu-Kayode said Nigeria needs a lot of
prayers. He said the name Nigeria has some satanic
premonition which only prayer can solve. According
to him, Lord Luggard and his wife Flora Shaw, who
gave Nigeria her name, were occultic worshipers.
He
said the literal meaning of Nigeria is "the area of
darkness". The article after the cut...
In 1916, Lord Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, the 1st
Baron Lugard, the fourteenth Governor of Hong Kong
and the first Governor-General of Nigeria, said the
following:

"Lagos has for 20 years opposed every Governor
and has fomented strife and bloodshed in the
hinterland. I have spent the best part of my life in
Africa; my aim has been the betterment of the
natives for whom I have been ready to give my
life. But after some 29 years, and after nearly 12
years as Governor here, I am free to say that the
people of Lagos and indeed the westerners are
the lowest, the most seditious and disloyal, the
most purely prompted by self-seeking money
motives of any people I have met."

As if that were not bad enough, two years later, on
September 25th 1918, in a letter to his colleague
Walter H. Lang, Lugard wrote the following: "The
Hausa-Fulani has no ideals, no ambitions save such
as sensual in character.

He is a fatalist, spendthrift
and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is
seriously diseased that he is a menace to any
community to which he seeks to attach himself."
Lugard's words are utterly reprehensible. They
represent the most appalling examples of racial
stereotyping that I have ever seen. Yet he didn't stop
there. In his book titled 'The Dual Mandate' (pg. 70)
1926 he wrote the following:
"In character and temperament, the typical African of
this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person.

LACKING IN SELF-CONTROL, DISCIPLINE, AND
FORESIGHT. Naturally courageous, and naturally
courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with
little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving
weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. HIS THOUGHTS
ARE CONCENTRATED ON THE EVENTS AND FEELINGS
OF THE MOMENT, and he suffers little from the
apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His
mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of
the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of
the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise
beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages
THE AFRICAN APPEARS TO HAVE EVOLVED NO
ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS CREED, and though some
tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense
seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems
more often to take the form of a vague dread of the
supernatural . HE LACKS THE POWER OF
ORGANIZATION, and is conspicuously deficient in the
management and control alike of men or business.

HE LOVES THE DISPLAY OF POWER, but fails to realize
its responsibility... he will work hard with a less
incentive than most races. He has the courage of the
fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral
virtue... In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-
type are those of attractive children, whose
confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to
an older and wiser superior and without
envy...Perhaps the two traits which have impressed
me as those most characteristic of the African native
are HIS LACK OF APPREHENSION AND HIS LACK OF
ABILITY TO VISUALIZE THE FUTURE."
There can be little doubt that this arrogant
englishman was a rabid racialist who had nothing but
the deepest contempt for our people. He was also
one of the most uncouth and vulgar souls that ever
polluted our shores with his unwholesome and
malevolent presence.
It is one of the greatest ironies of modern history
that this ignorant seafarer was the individual that
recommended to the British Colonial Office that the
Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria and
the Lagos colony, should all be merged into one large
country. That recommendation was accepted and
consequently Lord Lugard can legitimately be
described as the chief architect of modern-day
Nigeria.
It was actually Lord Lugard's wife, Miss Flora Shaw,
that proposed the name Nigeria for our country.

This
was done in an article that she wrote for the London
Times on January 8th 1897. She and Lugard got
married five years later in June 1902 after which she
became known as Lady Flora Lugard. Shaw was well
connected.

Her mother was a French lady of Mauritian stock by
the name of Marie Adrienne Josephine and her
father was Major-General George Shaw, a respected
British army officer. She was colonial editor of the
Times of London where she wrote an influential
weekly column titled ''The Colony''.

She was not only stunningly beautiful but she also
had vision and substance. Given that, one finds it
difficult to comprehend what an enterprising and
extraordinary woman like this found attractive in an
abominable scalywag like Lord Lugard. I daresay that
this was a classic case of the beauty and the beast.
Despite his pretensions of love Lugard despised the
numerous ethnic nationalities of Nigeria and he
continuously expressed his contempt for us with his
insulting and condescending commentaries.
Perhaps his best known intervention was made in
1914 in a letter that he wrote to the British
government just a few weeks prior to the
amalgamation. He wrote as follows:

"What we often call the Northern Protectorate of
Nigeria today can be better described as the poor
husband whilst it's southern counterpart can be fairly
described as the rich wife or the woman of substance
and means. A forced union of marriage between the
two will undoubtedly result in peace, prosperity and
marital bliss for both husband and wife for many
years to come. It is my prayer that that union will last
forever".

From this contribution it is clear that ours was a
''forced'' union. It is also clear that Lugard saw
northern Nigeria as a ''poor husband'' that needed
constant attention and support whilst he saw
southern Nigeria as nothing more than a ''rich wife''
or a ''woman of substance and means'' whose plight
was to be constantly pillaged and ravished.

This was his vision: a northern Nigeria that was
essentially the ''head of the household'' and that
would remain in control of all the power and
resources of the state and a southern Nigeria that
would play the role of a passive and subservient wife
whose destiny it was to remain in perpetual
subjugation and bondage.
Sadly this was the crooked foundation upon which
our union was built. What made it even worse was
the fact that the so-called ''southern wife'' and
''northern husband'' were never asked if they wanted
the marriage in the first place.

The truth is that the British colonialists were masters
of divide and rule. The amalgamation of the southern
and northern protectorates was a Greek gift which
was designed to fail and to crumble at the
appropriate time.

Nigerians have done well to have
held it together for so long and the fact that we have
only experienced one civil war is miraculous.
Despite all pretensions, the only thing that has kept
us together is the oil of the Niger-Delta and the
extraordinary resilience, patience, faith, fortitude,
zeal and strength of the Nigerian people
themselves.Mr. Sola Adebowale, a writer, understood
the mindset of Lord Lugard. He captured it rather
well on Facebook in 2014 when he wrote the
following:

''Lugard was a stark illiterate and it was quite
unfortunate that that was the best that imperial
Britain could send to Africa. Hence he was noted to
have vehemently opposed native education for
Africans. And he was said to have loathed the
educated and sophisticated Africans of the southern
coastal regions who had been educated by the
Christian Missionaries before him and instead wined
and dined and positioned the uneducated feudal
hordes of Africa to the forefront of leadership of
Africa. Is that not the albatross against many African
nations till date? Hence the moral right of Devil
Lugard to pontificate about Africans is questionable''.

Mr. Adebowale has hit the nail on the head. I concur
with his submissions.
Permit me to end this contribution with an
interesting aside. It is generally agreed though not
commonly admitted that both Lugard and Flora Shaw
were Luciferians who practiced the black arts and all
manner of satanic rituals. He was a "High Priest of
the Freemasons" whilst they were both avid
folllowers of Aleister Crowley, the leading satanist of
his day and the self-styled "worlds most wicked
man".

This explains a lot. It also explains why Shaw gave us
the name "Nigeria"- a name which has questionable
roots. Anyone that doubts this should consider the
literal translation of Nigeria from latin: it means "the
area of darkness" and there is a deep spiritual and
mystical reason that she gave us that name. It comes
with a lot of baggage because not much good can
come out of an area of darkness.
Most of the former British colonies changed their
names after independence for similar reasons but
because most of our leaders in Nigeria were not
aware of these matters they refused to do so.

Lugard
and Shàw were an unlikely couple who had no
children. What held them together was more spiritual
and mystical than anything else and Nigeria and the
Sudan are their joint legacy to the world.

Sadly both countries are having major challenges
today. Sudan has broken into two after a protracted
and bitter civil war whilst Nigeria is experiencing
serious regional, ethnic and religious tensions. It is
clear that our nation needs a good deal of prayer.

May God deliver us from Lord Lugard's magic and his
beautiful wife's spell.
