Lugard has been vilified and accused of undermining the geopolity even before the inception of modern Nigeria! However, what he did was to ‘amalgamate’ the North and South. David-West (2012) reports the difference between ‘Amalgam’ and ‘Compound’ thus: in the former, an alloy say of A, B, C though bound together, neither A, nor B, nor C loses IDENTITY but whereas A, B, or C in forming a Compound each loses IDENTITY and forms A NEW ENTITY. So Lugard envisaged and respected the component parts of Nigeria’s uniqueness. Research on Nigeria’s actual socio-linguistic realities are ongoing as are attempts to fully describe her challenges for the survival of so-called ‘minority languages and their cultures’ from danger of extinction.
