Abstract.
The paper examined the amalgamation of 1914 and its effect on the political leadership of Nigeria. It argues that the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria has not yielded it expected result as the two parts see themselves as different from each other especially in the area of political administration thereby giving room for mediocracy instead of competence as each part struggles to produce a representative from their area. The amalgamation of North and South seem to have further divided Nigeria especially since 1999 as each group view other as different people .It has continued persistently thereby frustrating the national integration efforts.
Keywords: Amalgamation, Nigeria.
