The history of north “Nigeria”, early 1800s-1900, in 2 sentences

TWO imperialisms: British, from northwest Europe, and Fulani, from northwestcentral Africa, on the prowl in this Africa’s central region ... Both later, amicably, switch to a relay race, post-1900, conquering state after state with catastrophic consequences for scores of constituent African peoples, laying the foundation where they collaborate, beginning 29 May 1966, in executing the Igbo genocide.
