| Abstract: | Strike action in a colonial setting is usually characterised by a marriage of interests between labour and nationalist politicians. As for that, the Nigerian General Strike of 1945 seems a classic example. This paper analyses the events which led to the strike and the strike itself, which did bring unforgetable sufferings but not the much expected 'paradise' Notes. |
