Amalgamation House: A Historic Structure In Deplorable State
The Amalgamation House is, among other things, the location for the signing of the treaty which merged the Northern and Southern protectorates to make Nigeria one entity in 1914.
The historic ceremony took place in Lord Fredrick Luggard's office located in Ikot Abasi then in Opobo Division now in present Akwa Ibom State.
Channels Television takes a look at the state of this historic facility and its use today.

yes ooo
They came through Calabar, settled in Calabar, knew that the Calabar region has nothing in common with the north. Why did they join them together if not to create problems. It's about time the UK government bring out the amalgamation documents for us to review.

Imagine!
I just visited this place on May 31, 2022 and the government has still not deemed it fit to make changes to ensure safeguarding of such an iconic structure in the history of the country. It's a shame.
Deeply, the thought of what went down in that bandit lugard dilapidated structure is no differ for what Nigeria constitution now comes to signify.
Fredrik Lord lugard will ever rest in peace for the amalgamation of this country called Nigeria.
Where it began = where we are today, every where jagajaga.
THE HOUSE IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT SITUATION OF NIGERIA TODAY
Hmmm. When you think about it, this building represents the origin of Nigeria’s problem. The amalgamation shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Whatever!

True
The building is just the exalt situation and sample of the country call NIGERIA.
Safe the building for historical facts, keep the artefacts and high time to change the name Nigeria to another name. Africa government lack maintenance.
To be preserved. Tourist attraction. Local government should not wait but give it to individuals to invest in renovation.
I pray that the lifes of all the One-Nigerianists will be like this in Jesus name.

We should ensure the expressions "slave masters" or "colonial masters" be replaced with "colonial enemies" and "enslaving enemies"
Nigerian government is a shame, this structure ought to be maintained for history, we are such an animal even comments here to burn this edifice from commentators tells how devilish we are as a people, yet we run to foreign land and admire them.

Do you know the kind of atrocities that happened in that premise?. The slavery, torture,rape, abuse, separation of families, killings,maiming forceful amalgamation.
We don't have value as a people and as a nation,so the deplorable state of the house has shown clearly we don't exist anymore,the effect of the edifice is prevalent now than ever,but time will tell if can still stand because the symbol and the model of our existence is weak and broken.
If you guys think what the British did was wrong then let fix it by going our separate way period, I’m tied of all this Big Big English 😡
The local government should build higher structures to cover up the old building.

I stand in agreement with you!
The real aim of the amalgamation is only to serve as impediment to success of the south but many people up till now do not understand that.
This Where Nigeria Was Given Birth
The biggest mistake started here
So there was no agreement for the regions and kingdom to come together as Nigeria. Reject that name created by evil doers.
Who else heard, " the name Nigeria was simply singlehandedly coined by Flora". What a shame! Lugard's girlfriend. This is what everyone is jumping up for saying, "I am a proud nigerian". God forbid.

who do you think coined the other names that have no meaning in the local dialect!.. Certainly the europeans. Names like Opobo, Bonny, Biafra or Biafara or Biafada, Lagos, Calabar, Brass, Sapele etc.
One of the greatest evils in African history happened here
That evil building have to go down by fire
The history does us no good. The house is better pulled down to help obliterate the memory from our brains
Ours is a house of cards
Let it continue to rot...
The house and the properties should be protected and use as tourism place
