5^                AFRICA  MUST  UNITE
                Azikiwe’s  West  African  Pilot  prepared  the  ground  for  the  in­
                dependence movement in Nigeria.
                  These,  and  other  newspapers,  have  undoubtedly  helped  in
                the  spread  of African  nationalism.  They  have  emphasized  the
                need  for  ‘freedom  first5  and  then  development.  If we  are  to
                banish  colonialism  utterly  from  our  continent,  every  African
                must  be  made  aware  of  his  part  in  the  struggle.  Freedom
                involves the untiring efforts of every one engaged in the struggle
                for it. The vast African majority must be accepted as the basis of
                government in Africa.
