Nigeria and Cameroons
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons was a mass political movement active in parts of Nigeria before 1948. Its name reflected the administration of a portion of Cameroons under United Nations trusteeship with Nigeria. Led prominently by Nnamdi Azikiwe, the NCNC formed alliances in the Northern Provinces before the Northern People's Congress became a major political force, and later participated in central governing coalitions.

Le récit
The National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons was described as a mass movement active in limited parts of the country before 1948. Its name derived from the fact that part of Cameroons under United Nations trusteeship was administered together with Nigeria. The organisation represented one of the principal nationalist forces in the political life of late colonial Nigeria.
Nnamdi Azikiwe, widely known as Zik, was its popular leader and an accomplished orator, even if the extract distinguishes his rhetorical ability from organisational skill. The NCNC had political allies in the Northern Provinces before the NPC appeared on the scene. Its influence was later challenged by the rise of northern political organisations.
British constitutional consultations and proposals for Africanisation of the senior civil service helped dampen the NCNC's political fire. Even so, the NCNC remained an important force and later normally served as an ally of the NPC in central government. Its trajectory illustrates how nationalist politics operated through both mass movements and regional coalitions.
