”The footprints of colonialism are over Nigeria. Nigeria should have never been a country” – Actress, Laura Adebisi
British-Nigerian actress Laura Lake Adebisi has asserted that Nigeria should never have been established as a country.
She argued that the deep ideological divides between the North and South provide sufficient grounds for the country’s non-existence.
In a viral video, the actress also criticized the British government, accusing it of “empowering” the Nigerian government to prevent Biafra’s secession and perpetuate the country’s exploitation.
Adebisi said, “The footprints of colonialism are over Nigeria. Nigeria should have never been a country! The difference in ideology from the northern side to the southern side is insane.
“When the Eastern side tried to secede and form Biafra, the ex-colonialists [Britain] were like, no, we don’t want that. So they instead empower Nigeria to crush that country.
“They were like, we want you guys to stay like this so we can continue to pillage and take all of your resources.
“So the footprints of colonialism are still all over Nigeria. It’s in the shape of the country. It’s on the map.”
