ploitation. It is no compensation but
confiscation and this can only hap
pen because Nigerians are subject
people and also because the govern
ment is empowered by legislation to
acquire lands by compulsion.
Americans who visited Nigeria
during the war would have been able
to see the conditions under which
the people live.
The people are feeling terribly
anxious about their lands as news
from London indicates plan to set
tie Europeans in this country in
large numbers, Pole especially. The
people of this country feel that it is
a subtle attempt to turn Nigerna to
South and East Africa.
Against this alienation of their
lands in any shape or form, Niger
ians are protecting, and this is one
of the reasons that the National
Council of Nigeria and the Cam
eroons is touring Nigeria,

NIGERIANS TIRE OF BRITISH
IMPERIALISM; FIGHT
FOR FREEDOM

LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 80. (ANP)
No administration has been so
much criticized as has that of Sir
Arthur Richards, governor of Nj
geria. The reason for this avalanche
of criticisms is mainly due to the
general awakening of the people of
Nigeria coupled with dissappoint-
ments suffered by them.
Americans may not be aware of
the contributions made by Niger
ians in men and resources towards
winning the last world war. The peo-
pie did not do all these to help per-
petuate British rule in Nigeria.
They expected, in view of the prom
ises made by British statesmen and
colonial governors, that their con-
ditions would change. But as things
are, it is becoming increasingly evil
dent that British imperialism is de-
termined to maintain the status quo.
Sir Arthur Richards, G.C.M.C., in
a recent speech, attempted to de-
fend his administration.
There is a sort of folly in the gov
ernor's defense of his much-criti-
cized administration We admire
him much as we admire the invinci-
BILE old lady who watched her son
march past, and pointed out with
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-08-30

modest pride that he alone of all the
regiment marched in step.
Sir Arthur Richards has courage.
He is insisting on the unbelievable
and maintaining the absurd.
The fact is that there is a clash
of interests between the people of
this country and their overlords,
whether in London or in Nigeria.
There are more students than
schools. People are eager for educa-
ton. Illiteracy is on the ascendancy.
1t will not be out of place to inform
Americans that there is no free ed
ucation at any stage in this country.
The very few educated Africans and
professionals who point out the bane
of British rule in this country are
branded as ".agitators.
The whole imperialist set-up in
the colonies requires a thorough
ovehauling. Colonial people cannot
be hewers of wood and drawers of
water for life. They are in their
countries and it is wicked for any
powers to deny them ordinary hu-
man rights in their own God-given
land because they happen to be sub
ject peoples.
1t would be we'll to inform Amer
leans that the land is the life of the
African. So when the British gov
ernment in Nigeria embark on mass
acquisitions of lands 'for public pur-
poses" the people of Nigeria are
rightly anxious about their lands.
The people cannot understand why
the government should acquire
their lands simply to lease them out
again to European. The land is the
Africans.
Twenty-Five years ago, govern
ment of this country paid "a cents
per square yard of land acquired.
Today government is offering in
certain cases less than six cents per
square yard in the same area. This is
regarded as downright ex-
