- British-Nigerian actress Laura Lake Adebisi has criticized Nigeria for not being a country.
- The ideological differences between the North and South are deemed sufficient reasons for the country’s inexistence.
- In a viral video, the movie star accused the British government of enabling the Nigerian government to prevent Biafra’s secession and continue pillaging the country.
Laura Lake Adebisi, a British-Nigerian actress, has expressed her belief that Nigeria should not have been established as a nation.
She argues that the significant ideological disparities between the Northern and Southern regions provide sufficient justification for the non-existence of the country.
In a widely circulated video, the actress criticized the British government for allegedly enabling the Nigerian government to thwart Biafra’s secession, thereby allowing for the continued 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.”
