<\/span>Femi Fani-Kayode <\/span><\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nThe former minister said this in a Facebook post titled, \u2018Lord Lugard\u2019s Magic and Flora Shaw\u2019s Spell.\u2019<\/p>\n
Fani-Kayode, who also served as the Minister of Tourism under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said the manner with which Nigeria was created in 1914 was the reason the country was still struggling.<\/p>\n
He said both Lord Fredrick Lugard, who was the first Governor-General of Nigeria; and his wife, Flora Shaw (later Flora Lugard), who gave Nigeria its name, were worshippers of Satan.<\/p>\n
Fani-Kayode said, \u201cIt is generally agreed though not commonly admitted that both Lugard and Flora Shaw were Luciferians\u00a0who practised the black arts and all manner of satanic rituals.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Lugard) was a \u2018High Priest of the Freemasons\u2019 whilst they were both avid followers of Aleister Crowley, the leading satanist of his day and the self-styled \u2018world\u2019s most wicked man.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis explains a lot. It also explains why Shaw gave us the name Nigeria \u2013 a name which has questionable roots. Anyone that doubts this should consider the literal translation of Nigeria into Latin: it means \u201cthe area of darkness\u201d and there is a deep spiritual and mystical reason why she gave us that name.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt comes with a lot of baggage because not much good can come out of an area of darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fani-Kayode, who was the spokesperson for former President Goodluck Jonathan\u2019s campaign organisation, said most of the African countries that were colonised by Britain had since changed their names.<\/p>\n
He said only Sudan and Nigeria refused to change their names and that was why they were still struggling.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cMost of the former British colonies changed their names after independence for similar reasons but because most of our leaders in Nigeria were not aware of these matters, they refused to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cLugard and Shaw were an unlikely couple who had no children. What held them together was more spiritual and mystical than anything else and Nigeria and Sudan are their joint legacy to the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, both countries are having major challenges today. Sudan has broken into two after a protracted and bitter civil war while Nigeria is experiencing serious regional, ethnic and religious tensions. It is clear that our nation needs a good deal of prayers. May God deliver us from Lord Lugard\u2019s magic and his beautiful wife\u2019s spell.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fani-Kayode said Nigeria was created such that the North could rule forever while the resources of the South would continually be exploited.<\/p>\n
The former minister said it was a miracle that Nigeria had only witnessed one civil war since it gained independence in 1960.<\/p>\n
