This paper pinpoints the role of colonial education towards the emergent of social split between the western educated elites and the majority people of Northern Nigeria whom were Islamically educated. This thesis examined that British induced educational model have created westernized elites during British rule who during and afterwards the colonial era occupied most significant positions in state bureaucracy and economic life. Accordingly, those who took Islamic education thereby were not permitted to obtain white color jobs in the colonial and post-colonial administration offices.

Paradoxically, the same all educational system also provided Nigerians with a modernist ideology with which to first imagine a unified nation and then to mobilize it in order to accomplish political sovereignty, in 1960s.
