The British by 1903 had conquered almost all the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri areas.
It took them till the 1930s to conquer the Middle Belt and merge it with the North.
Max Siullon writes of the Kibaku and Marghi (Adamawa/Southern Borno)holding British forces with arrows in 1906/1907.
The middle belt comprises of minority tribe which share similar culture, tradition and custom. According to Moses E. Ochonu in his book "Colonialism by proxy: Hausa Imperial agents and middle belt consciousness in Nigeria" the Map of middle belt below is the authentic map certified by researcher any other map is a scam.
Nigeria as a country need full re-structuring to correct the past error of the British that have cause lost of lives and properties as a result of agitation.
The agitation for self determination by the minority tribes have led to religious, tribal crisis in many States in Nigeria like Southern Bauchi, Adamawa, Kaduna etc.
The British due to there ignorant of Nigeria diversity hand over independent in 1960 in accordance with writings of Mohammed Bello the son of Danfodio in his book“Infakul Maisuri” that Middle Belt areas was under the Caliphate which is false without re-structuring.
Hugh Clapperton a British historian was also deceive when he visit Sultan Bello in Sokoto and use most of his writings that claims middle belt is a conquered territory under the control of Sokoto Caliphate.
