British-Nigerian actress Laura Lake Adebisi has said Nigeria should never have been established as a country.
She argued that the deep ideological division between the North and South are sufficient grounds for the nation’s non-existence.
In a widely circulated video, the actress accused the British government of “empowering” Nigeria’s leadership to suppress Biafra‘s bid for secession, thereby allowing ongoing exploitation of the country.
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.”
