q17)
“The regeneration of the inferior or
degenerate races by the superior
races is part of the providential
order of things for humanity….
Nature has made a race of workers,
the Chinese race, who have
wonderful manual dexterity and
almost no sense of honor; govern
them with justice, levying from
them, in return for the blessing
of such a government, an ample
allowance for the conquering race,
and they will be satisfied; a race of
tillers of the soil, the Negro; treat
him with kindness and humanity,
and all will be as it should; a
race of masters and soldiers, the
European race. Reduce this noble
race to working in the ergastulum
like Negroes and Chinese, and
they rebel….But the life at which
our workers rebel would make a
Chinese or a fellah happy, as they
are not military creatures in the
least. Let each one do what he is
made for, and all will be well.” 2

q18) 1981
It should be noted that when the
npp led by Dr Azikiwe gave the
npn (led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari)
six months notice as provided
for in the accord protocol for
the re-negotiation of the accord,
the npn unilaterally terminated
the accord on the excuse that “if
your wife gave you notice of six
months…the husband should
sack her immediately.” This was
how the npn/npp accord was
terminated in 1981 [ — an accord]
which the military inspired to
provide a smooth transition for
the Northern led political party in
1979. (p. 339, n. 49)

q19) 1992
…right from the day General
Babangida assumed office
there was no doubt as to
whose programme we were
implementing. The transition
programme was a personal
programme of General Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida. It was
neither a military nor a Northern
programme. This fact was never
known by many people…When
it was clear that the President
was serious with the transition
programme, and it seemed
to them that he was actually
thinking of handing over power,
they [the North] initiated the
removal of Chief Olu Falae from
the office of the Secretary to
Federal Military Government and
appointed a Fulani, Alhaji Aliyu
Mohammed, with a mission to
turn the transition programme
into a Northern driven project….
From late 1992 when he was
convinced that the North would
find it difficult to take over from
the military President in a free and
fair election, Alhaji Aliyu did not
hide his plan to get the President
to abandon the programme of
democratic transition…[And
there were] many antidemocratic
plans which they [Alhaji Aliyu and
the North] hatched to stop the
Presidential election after March
1993.

BLACK RENAISSANCE NOIRE

Please compare Maitama Sule’s
allegedly divine division of roles, caste
system, with the notorious white
supremacist doctrine of the European
imperialists. As Ernest Renan, the
western humanist and idealist
philosopher from France, would
express it:

Caliphate ideology and
Agenda — Section B

[comment by chinweizu]
The quote from Maitama Sule, (See Q3
above) also articulated the Caliphate
caste system for Nigeria.
