I don't do nonsense talk. I deal with facts..Imo and Abia joined together is like a peanut in personalities..

Show us where they said that Ironsi was the first president of Nigeria.



Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe, P.C. (16 November 1904 – 11 May 1996),[3] usually referred to as Nnamdi Azikiwe, was one of the leading figures of modern Nigerian nationalism. He was head of state of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966. He served as the second and last Governor-General from 1960 to 1963 and the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966, holding the presidency throughout the Nigerian First Republic.

Nnamdi Azikiwe, the First President of Nigeria, Dies at 91

By HOWARD W. FRENCH
Published: May 14, 1996

Nigeria's first President and a vigorous champion of African independence from European colonial rule, died Saturday in a hospital in his native eastern Nigeria after a long illness. He was 91.

Dr. Azikiwe, an Ibo from southeast Nigeria, presided over a democratic Government that was in power for a mere three years before the regional tensions that have marked the country's politics ever since led to the first of many military coups. But as a lawyer, political scientist, journalist, political activist, President and for many years Nigeria's elder statesman, Dr. Azikiwe towered over the affairs of Africa's most populous nation, attaining the rare status of a truly national hero who came to be admired across the regional and ethnic lines dividing his country.

After years of agitation for nationhood, Dr. Azikiwe became Governor General of the Nigerian Federation at independence from Britain in 1960, and President in 1963, when the country was declared a republic.

While in office, he introduced universal adult suffrage and moved to extend schooling throughout the country.

Early in his career, Dr. Azikiwe seemed to realize that his Ibo group, the smallest of Nigeria's three major ethnic sub-divisions, could never rule the country outright. This insight led him to form alliances with northern politicians from the Muslim Hausa-Fulani ethnic constellation that would give him a far greater say in the country's affairs than he could have hoped for alone.

Throughout his life, Dr. Azikiwe's alliance with northerners put him at odds with Obafemi Awolowo, a socialist-inclined leader of the Yoruba, the country's other important southern group. In the view of Mr. Awolowo's supporters and many other Nigerians, Dr. Azikiwe's compact with the north opened the country to domination by the north and by the military, whose senior officer corps is dominated by people of Hausa and Fulani background.

Born Nov. 16, 1904, in Zungeru in northern Nigeria, where his father was stationed as a colonial civil servant, Nnamdi Azikiwe attended English-run missionary schools. He then went to the United States, where he studied at Storer College in West Virginia, Howard University in Washington, D.C., Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and Columbia University in New York City.

Dr. Azikiwe taught political science at Lincoln University for three years in the early 1930's before returning to Africa, where he founded the first of five newspapers he would create, The African Morning Post, in Accra, Ghana, in 1934.

In Ghana, Dr. Azikiwe became a mentor to Kwame Nkrumah, the Premier of that British colony who would go on to become the President of the first African country to free itself from European rule, in 1957.

Dr. Azikiwe returned to Nigeria in 1937 and worked as an editor and essayist before throwing himself into the limited local politics under colonial rule, becoming a member of the Legislative Council in 1948.

Making a name for himself as an outspoken advocate of independence, he went on to become Premier of the country's Eastern Region in 1954.

After he disappeared from public for several weeks in 1989 following the death of his wife, Flora, associates of Dr. Azikiwe announced his death, provoking an outpouring of emotion in his honor. Clearly relishing the affection shown for him, Dr. Azikiwe resurfaced from seclusion, saying "I am not in a hurry to leave this world, because it is the only planet I know."

As a traditional chief of the Ibo, Dr. Azikiwe is expected to have an elaborate funeral guided by ancestral customs. The Nigerian Government has also announced that he will be given a state funeral.

HAHA I AM ANUOFIA OR ANUOHIA

YOU DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS EXECUTIVE POWER I ASKED YOU TO READ YOUR HISTORY YOU ARE QUOTING New York Times BLACK MONEY WHEN WILL YOU BE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR SELF




In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch. In such systems, the head of state or the head of state's official representative (i.e. the monarch, ceremonial president , or governor-general) usually holds a largely ceremonial position, just with reserve powers. A position, function, or event that is ceremonial is considered to be representative of an institution, but has very little authority or influence. That was Azikwe position

Zik was quite a great man having gotten western education when it was rare. However, he didn't do anything for Igbos east and west of River Niger.

To Igbos these people were more relevant: Ojukwu,MI Okpara,Alvan Ikokwu,Kaduna Nzeogwu,Akanu Ibia,Dennis Osadebe.

Zik is like Ironsi. They pleased Hausas n Yorubas

asha90:
Chidi, go and eat first before you comment. You are so hungry and frustrated to make any useful comment.

Zik was a Pan-Africanist and not a local champion. Maybe you expected him to give you stomach infrastructure when we was meant to get you independence which he did.

he then Chief Justice of the Federation, Sir Adetokunbo Ademola and Ibekwe, a member of the supreme court judges went to Zik, looked at him and said Zik unless you want to cause crisis in this country, you have no constitutional power to refuse to call upon the Prime Minister, Tafawa Balewa to form government. Zik accepted and complied. Because of that intervention, he called Balewa. Balewa then formed the government and ordered election in the other parts of the country where it was not held, hence the rise of a broad base government

My good people of Imo state;

More than two years after our governor Okorocha promised repairing the only road to IMSUTH, Orlu, which has been bad as shown below since Owelle became guvnor, and a year after IMSU students protests over the road and other matters; no action yet. The road measures about 1.2km long.

But since then, Owelle has developed new roads, new layouts, new flyovers, new dual carriage ways, in Owerri, even in areas where no body lives in Owerri - in anticipation of expansion of Owerri City.


What is in Owelle's mind?

Is this how we build our Imo-one-city-state?
