Laura Lake Adebisi, a British-Nigerian actress, recently expressed her belief that Nigeria shouldn’t even be a country.
She pointed out that the deep ideological divides between the North and South are strong enough reasons for its non-existence.
In a video that’s been making the rounds, she criticized the British government for allegedly supporting the Nigerian government in preventing Biafra’s secession, which she claims allows for ongoing exploitation of the nation.
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.”
