İNGİLİZ KOLONİ YÖNETİMİNİN NİJERYA’DAKİ HÂKİMİYET ARAÇLARI VE GÜNÜMÜZDEKİ YANSIMALARI

Year 2021, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 121 - 144, 30.01.2021

Abstract

Afrika kıtasında sömürgecilik, yıllardır tartışılan bir konu olmuştur. Bu sürecin en önemli aktörlerinden birisi de İngiltere’dir.
İngiltere’nin Afrika’daki en stratejik kolonilerinden birisi Nijerya’dır. Gine Körfezi kıyısındaki Batı Afrika ülkesi Nijerya
bugün “Afrika’nın Devi” olarak nitelendirilmektedir. 200 milyonu aşan nüfusuyla Nijerya, Afrika’da en yoğun nüfusa sahip
ülke konumundadır. 250’ya yakın etnik kabilenin bulunduğu ülkede birçok yerel dil konuşulmaktadır. Geçmişte tarım
ürünleriyle denizaşırı güçlerin sömürgesi olan ülke, bugün petrol ve doğal gaz kaynaklarıyla öne çıkmaktadır. Sömürge
yarışında önemli aktörlerden İngiltere, 19. asır ile birlikte Nijerya topraklarına ulaşmıştır. İngilizler, Güney Afrika ülkelerinin
aksine Nijerya topraklarına yerleşmekten daha çok bu topraklardaki doğal kaynakları elde etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Nitekim
Sanayi Devrimi ile birlikte fabrikalar için kauçuk, pamuk ve palm yağı gibi hammaddelere ihtiyaç duyulmuştur ki bunlar
Nijerya topraklarında bolca bulunmaktaydı. İngiltere, Nijerya’daki hâkimiyetini ekonomik, siyasi ve sosyokültürel olmak
üzere farklı alanlarda arttırmıştır. Bu amaçla şirketler ile ekonomik nüfuzunu; imzaladıkları anlaşmalarla siyasi nüfuzunu,
işgal yöntemiyle toprak ve misyoner okullarla kültürel hâkimiyetini sağlamıştır. İngilizlerin Nijerya’daki sosyolojik yapıyı
göz önüne alarak sürdürdüğü koloni politikalarının yansımaları günümüzde de görülmektedir. Bu makale kapsamında, bir
Avrupalı koloni devleti olarak İngiltere’nin Nijerya’daki sömürge yönetiminde siyasi, ekonomik ve sosyokültürel olarak kullandığı araçlar ve attığı adımlar incelenecektir. Diğer taraftan, sömürge yönetiminin Nijerya’ya ve Nijeryalılara etkisi
masaya yatırılacaktır.

THE TOOLS OF DOMINATION OF THE BRITISH COLONY ADMINISTRATION IN NIGERIA AND THEIR REFLECTIONS OF TODAY

Year 2021, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 121 - 144, 30.01.2021

Abstract

Colonialism in the African continent is an issue which has been debated for years. In this process one of the biggest actors is
Britain. Nigeria is one of the most important colony in Africa for Britain. With a population of over 200 million, Nigeria is
the most densely populated country in Africa. Many local languages are spoken in Nigeria, where nearly 250 ethnic tribes
live. While Nigeria stood out with agricultural products in the past, today it stands out with its oil and natural gas resources.
After the Industrial Revolution, these raw materials have been very important for international powers. By the way Britain
has increased its dominance in Nigeria in different ways especially economic, political and sociocultural. For this purpose,
British colony has increased its economic influence with companies. It ensured his political influence with the agreements
which signed local and international powers. British colony took over territorial sovereignty through by occupation and it has
increased its cultural dominance with missionary schools. We can see today different reflections of the British colonial
policies carried on Nigeria. The article will explore the political, economic and sociocultural tools and steps Britain has taken
in colonial rule in Nigeria as a European colonial state. On the other hand, it will discuss the impact of the colonial
administration on Nigeria and Nigerians.
