Below was what he shared on his Facebook page:
“Our agenda was to completely exploit
Africa. Nigeria was my duty post. When we assessed Nigeria, this was
what we found in the southern region; strength, intelligence,
determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused
life style, great hope and aspirations… the East is good in business and
technology, the west is good in administration and commerce, law and
medicine, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power “at all
cost” to the northerner. They seemed to be submissive and silly of a
kind. Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all
fronts.
The west led in the fight for the
independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. They will not
rule Nigeria! Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the
north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 Million.” ~
Harold Smith
This was to be used to maintain their
majority votes and future power bid. He stated that the West without
Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but they ignored
that. The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military.
According to him, they believe that the south may attend western
education, but future leaders will always come from military background.
Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human.
The northerners were given accelerated
promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their
superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south. We
truncated their good plan for their future.
“I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a
great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo
and Azikwe well, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord
among them”. We tricked Azikwe into accepting to be president having
known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to
jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria.
‘’Looking at the northern leaders now,
If they have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the
north, and nothing for Nigeria….’’ ~ Harold Smith “Study the past if
you would define the future.” ~ Confucius
