Explanation

The question is asking about the year when the centenary anniversary of the amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria will be celebrated. To understand the question better, we need to know what amalgamation means. In 1914, the British colonial government combined the northern and southern protectorates of Nigeria into one entity, which is what we call Nigeria today. This event is known as the amalgamation of Nigeria. Now, the question is asking when the centenary anniversary of this event will be celebrated. Centenary means a hundredth anniversary, so this means we need to add 100 years to the year of the amalgamation to get the year of the centenary. Looking at the options, we see that only one of them is a year that is exactly 100 years after 1914, which is Option A: 2014. Therefore, Option A is the correct answer. It is important to note that the celebration of the centenary anniversary is significant because it marks 100 years of Nigeria's existence as a nation. It is a time for reflection on Nigeria's history, progress, and challenges, as well as a time for celebration of its diversity and unity as a nation.
