Yoruba, Igbo mistrust cause of underdevelopment – Adebanjo on october 16, 2013 at 1:42 am in news By CLIFFORD NDUJIHE & IKENNA ASOMBA ELDER STATESMAN and stalwart of the pan-Yoruba socio- political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has urged the Igbo and Yoruba ethnic nationalities to join forces and develop the country, arguing that recurring mistrust between them has stunted Nigeria’s socio-economic development. According to the octogenarian, if the late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Chief Obafemi Awolowo had closed ranks, collaborated and ruled Nigeria, the country would have been an oasis of development. He spoke yesterday in Lagos at the presentation of a 771-page book: “The Untold Story of the Nigeria-Biafra War,” written by Dr Luke Nnaemeka Aneke. Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello – founding fathers of Nigeria Adebanjo picked holes in age- long comments blaming Igbos for the 30-month civil war that claimed about three million lives, saying “When we chronicle the diary of what led to the Nigeria-Biafra war, a lot of people felt the Igbos must be blamed. There is no doubt that mistakes were made but the principle on which war was fought was on the ground of a person who does not want to be cheated.” The major mistake Said Adebanjo, who is in full support of ongoing efforts to hold a national conference: “The major blunder the Igbos and the Yorubas made was that they misinterpreted friendship. I, Azikiwe and Awolowo had come together, will we be where we are today? So, that was the major mistake that we made. If Azikiwe was Prime Minister of Nigeria then and Awolowo was Minister of Finance, where do you think Nigeria will be today? All the wonders of what happened in the West would have been replicated in the entire country, with such collaboration. But, it was never so.” He continued: “The history of the war has to be told very honestly. There has been a lot of prejudices here and there. And a lot of friends have been made enemies all because of book presentations. The meticulous way, intelligent manner and chronological order that the author put the book is commendable. The author has been able to move from the trend whereby previous authors make unnecessary comments in their books at a time we ought to ensure that Nigeria is united and the various ethnic nationalities live in oneness. This is not a time when we should be emphasizing what separates us. At this point, I want to direct your attention to what is captured in the book, how long the Yorubas and the Igbos have been coming together to ensure the unity and progress of Nigeria. When we discuss this, we have to talk about the crisis of 1963. When the crisis came, the President at that time, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe waded in to ensure there was peace in the West. “I must also mention that we must not allow minor things to separate us because we committed a lot to keep this nation one, especially the Igbos and the Yoruba. Therefore, the Igbos and the Yorubas have no cause to quarrel. We have our differences, so, I’m also not oblivious of the fact that the tongue and the mouth at times do quarrel. In those days, in spite of the fact that Zik was a non-Yoruba, he was very popular in the West. You hear Zik this, Zik that. In fact, when the Football Club of Azikiwe is going to play in Apapa, we all thronged to that place to watch the team play. But, we must remember where we are coming from and go back to the old times. In view of what is happening in the country today, let us learn our lessons. “It was surprising to some people when President Jonathan recently sued for a national conference because of his earlier arguments that there was no need for it. According Chief Obafemi Awolowo, only an unreasonable man will see a superior argument and not change his mind. In case many of you don’t know, Azikiwe during his time sued for one Nigeria based on Unitary government, The likes of Awolowo preached Federalism, which Azikiwe later got convinced and in 1956 said that federalism was imperative. “Federalism gives room for each region to develop at their own pace. After the 1956 conference, it was then Azikiwe and others were convinced that Federalism was imperative for there to be a healthy competitiveness among the regions. The West established its own university; the East did the same and likewise the North. National conference is imperative On ongoing debates trailing national conference moves, he said: “Our unity in this country should be that of unity of purpose. We should not allow minor things to disunite us. That’s why I’m grateful to the author in the way he has presented the book. It will make the young ones see the war from an unbiased perspective. Our unity should not be like that of a horse and its rider. That’s why this national conference is imperative at this moment. And one thing previous governments had used to confuse Nigerians is that a national conference will disintegrate Nigeria and bring the sovereignty of the constitution to question. But come to think of it, is this present constitution ours? Even when Obasanjo was been sworn-in in 1999, he swore to uphold the tenets of the constitution. Which constitution, is it the constitution, which he doesn’t know anything about the content? Even Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar himself said before the swearing-in that he doesn’t know the content of the constitution. So, why do you want to tie us down with a constitution that you don’t know the content? In fact let me say that the constitution that we had at independence was a better one because it preached that each region must be allowed to grow at their own pace. That was why the West had free education, the East had free education. Let us go back to that constitution. The sovereignty we all sue for should be that of the people.” |

Jointly organised by Ndigbo Lagos, Aka-Ikenga and Lower Niger Congress, notable persons at the event included Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim (who was represented by his special adviser, Dr. Ferdinand Agu), Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (rtd), Chief Raymond Obieri, Professor Laz Ekwueme, Chief Fred Agbeyegbe, Igwe NP Iloeze, Engr Mike Uzoigwe, Mrs Nkechi, Chief Martins Agbaso, Professor Joe Ezeigbo and Kalu Onuma. Although, the event was meant to be a book launch, it became an avenue to rally the South and the Middle-Belt for President Goodluck Jonathan’s proposed national conference, for which a presidential advisory committee has been set up to tinker out modalities on how to proceed. For instance, the Ijaw delegation was led by Chief TK Ogoriba, the Itsekiri delegation was anchored by Chief Fred Agbeyegbe and the Middle-Belt Forum was led by Abuga Onalo and the ceremony was chaired by Chief Ayo Adebanjo, who is from the South-West. Speaking at the event, Dr Agu said Nigerians must do the needful to ensure that the country does not experience another civil war. “Lamenting the massive destruction wrought on the polity by the war, he said:”It is our duty as a generation to ensure that, that history does not repeat itself… We need dialogue. Let’s prepare our minds for national conversation. Let’s hear one another out. We have many things to talk about. Without dialogue we are preparing for confrontation. We have a nation to build for ourselves and future generation.” The Igbos have no problem with Yoruba — Anya In a welcome speech, the President General of Ndigbo Lagos, Professor Anya O Anya, said The book is a must read, as we are all aware that we have a young generation who don’t know the history of this nation. Therefore, it’s important that we make them conscious of history has been. We the old ones must remind the younger ones that the rules have changed, through a book like this. Before the war, the Igbos had no problems with the North or the West. But the Igbos were only standing up against the injustice meted against them. But the fact remains that we wouldn’t have gone to the war. The major problems we have encountered in this time past, is that Nigeria has been in disrepair in the midst of plenty and governance don’t face the welfare of the common people. It’s unfortunate that Nigeria has the highest level of poverty and youth unemployment in the world. It’s also sympathetic that I have never seen a nation like Nigeria where the people are dismissive and negative about their country. “Our politics is so bad that most politicians are never concerned about building the nation but what they can take out of the nation, even if they can take it from the pockets of others. Imagine, the North that has been at the helms of affairs in this country for over 40 years is engulfed in poverty and insecurity even till date. Their contradictions caused it. We might as well say that it serves them right,but should we allow them to continue this way? The answer is no, because should this continue, it will soon engulf the entire nation. From now on, the Igbos and other Nigerians should come together to build a greater and indivisible Nigeria. “Today, Jonathan out of pressure has bowed to National conference. Ironically, the earlier agitators for this conference are the ones saying no to it. This is why I say that our politics in this nation must change. It must no longer be the politics of nay saying. Reviewing the book, Dr Douglas Anaele passionately recounted the genesis of the war, pogrom against Biafran children, sacrifices made by white nuns and others during the war, how the war could have been averted and the role of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and General Yakubu Gowon and described the book as a ‘window into the untold story of the Nigeria- Biafra war.” He said if Awolowo had fulfilled his promise of having West Nigeria leave if East seceded, not joined Gowon to fight Biafra and used starvation as a weapon, the destruction would have been minimised. He also wondered why Nigeria did not reap from the technological know-how of Biafran scientists after the war if the Nigerian government did not hate the Igbos. Reacting to Anele’s review, Adebanjo, and Awoist said: “There has been a lot of misinterpretation on the part played by Awolowo before the war. Let’s not forget that during the war, Chief Awolowo went to see Ojukwu in Enugu, one of the things that is not on record is in fact, he went against the advice of Gowon and others. It was even said that he went to conspire with Ojukwu. Those who have confidential access to the report at that time will see what was written about Chief Awolowo, when he came back from the East. What happened then was he went to convince Ojukwu not to go to war. Let us stay here and settle these things amicably. Ojukwu assured Awolowo that he was not going to go to war, but two weeks later Ojukwu insisted that there must be war. That is the truth. Ladies and gentlemen, whether we like it or not, we are bound to live together, but I want you to imagine that until the starvation came, the war was on. Following the chronology of this book, Awolowo who was in Gowon’s cabinet, who never wanted the war said, the best way to end this fratricidal war is to stop the food allocation going to the Biafra region, because he said that anything that must allow the war end must be done.” www.vanguardngr.com |

We igbos have no problem with the Yorubas. The only problem we have with them is that "they fail to understand that the North is not friendly indeed". They keep on allying with the North and getting stabbed always but are yet to discover the true cause of their problems. If they would stand up against the North for a Southern president(Be it Yoruba, Igbo or Ijaw e.t.c) until 40 years time or agree to peaceful succession, then they have our backing.

Awolowo never had a genuine intention of working with Zik. Their alliance would have been like that of Tinubu and Buhari, where one props up another as leader but secretly working to undermine him. Zik saw beyond the facade of Awo's pretended friendship and chose to allign with the enemies he knows( the devil you know...). Awo succeeded in proving his love for the Igbos during and after the civil war. Tinubu has embarked on same venture today. Let us go back to fiscal federalism. Let every state develop at it's own pace. This would spark off a healthy competition and make the centre weak. Until then, any alliance with any or between ethnic nationalities to dominate another will be likened to white-washed sepulcres, full of rotten flesh and bones. It would be a matter of time before the betrayal sneeze would blow the leaves off the rotten corpses and we are back to square one! 4 Likes |

Dz yoruba's keep living in falsehood and lies, well I don't blame them that's der nature,,, The only reason y d Biafran Army ever ventured into the southwest wz because of Lagos which was Nigeria's capital as at then, I heard dat as at then they had info that GOWON was der. Y d hausa/fulani fellows, one thing I ve for u is that ur time shall come, 4 soldiers planned a coup, and coincidentially the soldiers were from d south, u ppl killed d soldiers dat initiated d coup, after u finished killing dem, u ventured into the ordinary soldiers dat had nothing to do with d coup,when u were don't, u went to the civilian population that had no business with military,nor govt, when they left and went back to there region, u ppl started planning on attacking them in there region,,,the leaders went to ghana made a conference and agreed on how d country was to be run, ur leaders came back from ghana and made a U-turn, d Igbo leaders declared BIAFRA, war started, u said they must come back to one Nigeria,,, d one's that said they don't agree with Biafra dat stayed in Nigeria u located them and killed them, the ones that fleed and joined Biafra u did the same too... Even Asaba that was not part of Biafra, u went to the City, lined up every male dat wz above 10years and shut them... When Biafra wz declared defunct by Philip effiong, d Igbo's came back,just for u ppl to seize all der money, der properties, etc, for 20pounds...lol''' ppl don't know y when this northerners threaten we Igbo's we keep laughing,its other southern tribes they can threaten and they shiver, because there is nothing this northerners want to do to us that we haven't experienced b4,,, and do u knw one special thing, this story reminds me of d Isrealites in Egypt.

cKaiser:You must be a baby joking with a stranger. The other Nigerians has problem with the igbo people not the other way round. Yorubas are much more afraid to hit the Hausas even when they gave you guys several blows Yorubas bow cowardly remember, the JUNE 12 election & Ahaji Mustapha release, the man that kill Abiola's wife since than what happen. The Yorubas are best men to Hausa people always scare to take risk. The only major connection btw Hausa and Yoruba people is the fact that they both share the same religion(Islam). If you watch cloesly Yoruba govnors are largely Muslims and if you wna get to the top join muslim just like what is happening in Kwara state. I am not aganist it but it play a role. You know Muslims operate like cult boys. Islam is one thing that bring Hausa/Yoruba together esp their government. Dnt say how? in Nigeria politican/government in charge determines the direct of the people. The Hausas and Yorubas also shared Nigeria immediately after the civil war and even the Niger Delta oil well. The Hausas took the lion share history can tell us more. The top richest Nigerians touched oil wells in blocks before any other thing ,non of them use their brain like the Bill Gates. That one of the hiding conspiracy about Nigeria, a situation were Hausa man will rule for 20years before given Yorubas man one one chance to rule and thats OBJ.

So the best and quickest option is to create a fiscal federalism as you pointed out. BTW I find it interesting as well that NL people that were not even born in the 60's would continue this counterproductive tribalism, when in actuality all the tribes are co-existing in harmony, every where in the world. I also find it interesting that those spewing the most hate don't even live in Nigeria and are the main culprits causing confusion and promoting hatred among the tribes. When will we learn that the true enemies are the elite that have been ruling us for the past 50 years. Divide and conquer, is an old game and we the spectators are continuously falling for it. The leaders/elite in 9ja regardless of tribe all eat, drink and spread money together. They are just laughing at us fighting for parties, tribes etc; |
