Britain colonized Nigeria after the transatlantic slave trade became more of a burden than a source of profit. The empire’s focus shifted from human trafficking to extracting raw materials for British industry and imposing a captive market for manufactured goods, ensuring capital accumulation and profit.
Infrastructure, especially railways, was not built for the people but to transport raw materials from the interior to the ports for export. These trains needed fuel. The British Imperial Institute conducted mineral surveys in Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1903 and 1904 to identify exploitable natural resources beyond existing agricultural products. They discovered vast coal deposits in Onitsha Province, present-day Enugu State.
At the turn of the twentieth century, coal was to capitalism what oil is today it powered industry, railways, and maritime transport. Local coal exploitation in Britain had already fueled its industrial revolution.
In 1915 and 1917, the colonial administration acquired land from Ngwo community chiefs “without charge” and began production immediately: 7,000 tons in 1915, 24,000 tons in 1916, and quadrupling the following year. By 1929, annual output had reached 364,000 tons, most of it used to power railways.
But coal extraction required human labor, and the colonial regime initially relied on forced labor, conscripting prisoners and poor peasants. Many farmers resisted leaving their lands to work in mines without prior experience. Local warrant chiefs collaborated with the colonial authorities, extorting bribes from those trying to avoid conscription, while the colonial police protected these corrupt collaborators much like today’s authorities protect entrenched elites against the masses.
As labor demand grew, the colonialists turned to wage labor, recruiting workers from other regions, who primarily worked underground digging coal, while non-local recruits filled clerical and technical roles a deliberate strategy to prevent workers’ unity.
The Great Depression of 1929 halted coal expansion. Demand fell, and by 1934 production dropped to 120,000 tons. Wages were cut, forcing workers to bear the brunt of this global capitalist crisis. With only one union in Nigeria by 1930bthe Nigeria Civil Service Union, formed in 1912 workers began organizing. Over the next decade, at least a dozen new unions emerged, including among coal miners, who protested wage cuts and poor conditions.
By the late 1930s, coal production recovered, but wages did not. Workers launched a dispute in 1937 to restore pre-1931 salaries and won. In response, management created ethnically divided advisory councils, but these failed to contain workers’ growing solidarity.
In the 1940s, coal miners formed unions, including the Enugu Workers Trade Union in 1940 and the Enugu Colliery Surface Improvement Union in 1941. These merged in 1944 to form the Colliery Workers Union (CWU), led by Isaiah Okwudili Ojiyi, a former teacher respected for his knowledge of labor law and his deep ties to the rank-and-file a key lesson: genuine union leadership must emerge from the workforce itself.
The CWU demanded better wages and working conditions. Management initially refused to negotiate, leading to dismissals, the hiring of replacement workers, and the banning of the union, while reintroducing ethnic councils. The union continued underground, raising worker consciousness. Its legitimacy came from the workers, not government recognition.
After World War II, workers’ anger grew as living conditions worsened. They demanded a Cost-of-Living Allowance (COLA), sparking Nigeria’s first General Strike from June to August 1945. CWU activists coordinated local actions, strengthening worker confidence. Workers rejected ethnic councils and pushed management to recognize the union, eventually winning wage arrears and restored allowances after further go-slow strikes in 1947 and 1948.
Colonization did not end with flags and anthems.
It built nations designed to fracture, economies wired to drain, and borders drawn to bleed.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said it clearly: we were set up to fail.
But our survival is our rebellion.
Our unity is our repair.
Our story is our reclaiming.
Most Africans lack foresight and don’t even read history. When you understand what colonialism, apartheid, and imperialism have done to the African continent and its doing, you will know that the only solution to African problems lies with Africans who put the people’s interests above their own.
South African activists plan to launch a large civilian-led flotilla to Gaza in March, with more than 100 boats and 1,000 volunteers, including medical professionals and aid workers.
South Africa 🇿🇦 and China 🇨🇳 have signed a partnership deal allowing South Africa to export all goods to China tariff-free, according to China’s Commerce Ministry. China is also ready to increase investments in South Africa’s automotive, mining, agriculture, and renewable energy sectors.
The agreement follows the US imposition of 30% tariffs on South African imports. South Africa is the 33rd African country to sign such a deal with China. China has further announced that 53 African countries with diplomatic ties can export goods to China tariff-free to boost African exports.
