Why didn't the UK, France and other colonial countries create a unic african state during the de-colonization era with either english, french or even both as lingua franca instead of creating unstable geographical constructs ?

What do you mean with Unic African State? Does that stand for a United African State? United Nations Information Center? If you mean united I am quite puzzled why that wouldn't be unstable (given the size en ethnic diversity of the continent)
