 | Nigeria @55: Prologue: Still groping in the   dark |  |  |  | One of the enduring topics of debate   over Nigeria's nationhood is the question: was Nigeria's amalgamation a mistake?   In 1914, Sir Frederick Lugard amalgamated the Colony of Lagos and the Protectorate   of Southern Nigeria with the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria.
