British-Nigerian actress Laura Lake Adebisi has stated that Nigeria should have never been established as a country.
In a viral video, Adebisi argued that the ideological differences between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria are too vast for the nation to function as a unified entity.
The actress also accused the British government of interfering in Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly during the Biafran secession attempt.
Adebisi alleged that Britain empowered the Nigerian government to prevent the Eastern region from forming Biafra, in order to continue exploiting Nigeria’s resources.
Adebisi stated, “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,” she added.
