Was the almagamation of 1914 by Lord Luggard a blessing or Curse to Nigeria?

Lord Lugard, almagamated the Northern and the Sourthen protectorates in 1914, but what necessitated this initiative,but whatever reason behind Lord Lugards' actions , has that promoted peace and love among Nigerians or are we regretting this naive ,selfish action of the British. Soon after the British had acquired the Northern region from the French in 1900, they found out that it was going to be a drain on their finances and a big liability item  in their annual budgets from the British Crown to the colonies. Therefore they decided to create this artificial country called Nigeria by coercion so that the wealth of  the South would be used to support the North. Could this be the reason why we are still wandering in the wilderness of endless hope today?

Bros, i like ur view point. Nigeria  knows her problems and they can be remedied. why has it not be remedied yet?
If the almagamation of 1914 was indeed a blessing, and at the same time we still have problems that has not been remedied yet, don't you think that "blessing" should be thoroughly reviewed?
