Do you know that the Obong of Calabar was one of the only six Nigerian signatories of the Amalgamation Document?
- HRH R Henshaw (Obong of Calabar)
- Usuman Dan Maje who later became Emir of Kano
- Sir Kitoyi Ajasa a lawyer
- HRH Oladugbolu Alaafin of Oyo
- HRH Maiturare Sarkin Mussulumi and Sultan of Sokoto
- Abubakar Shehu of Borno
The location of the signing of d amalgamation document was Zungeru, Niger State. That was the Capital of the British Protectorate of Northern Nigeria from 1902 until 1916
There were 6 people and the rest of the 22 were British.
The document stated that after 100 years, each party can re-evaluate & determine if they want to continue together or go their separate ways.
Just like Hong Kong has reverted to the Chinese from the British after 100 years.
