Mr. Gwnfor Evans MP, the great Welsh
politician, lawyer and author and the leader of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh
nationalist party, for no less than 36 years before he passed on in 2005, made
the following historic and profound observation many years ago.

He said, “‘Britishness’ is a political synonym
for ‘Englishness’ which extends the English culture over the Scots, the Welsh
and the Irish”.
As a student of English and
European history and one that was not only trained and educated by the British
from the age of 7 but that is also highly conversant with their system and
their ways, I can confirm that Evans is absolutely right. His words are
relevant to our situation in Nigeria
