Obafemi Awolowo: Hero Of Yoruba, Killer Of Biafra, Betrayed By The North

- Obafemi Awolowo is the undisputed hero of the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria whose wartime policy of starvation and currency change helped kill the Biafran dream. The post colonial era of Nigerian history was dominated by three actors, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello. Dr Azikiwe was an avowed nationalist who preferred one Nigeria above anything else. Sir Ahmadu Bello was a tribalist who initially preferred a balkanized Nigeria to enable his people live their religious and cultural life without external negative influence and was later reluctantly convinced to seek an agenda for a united Nigeria. Chief Obafemi Awolowo from the onset did not hide his preference for an Oduduwa Republic.

Loooooooooooool
Awolowo permanently ensured igbos never forget his name
All hail tha Emperor Awo

Stop this victim mentality. Ojukwu starved 3mill igbos because he was afraid Nigeria will poison the food. He refused our help. We're soldiers not animal.

Its was the same Awolowo you hate that save your people from post war crisis.

But I did that for the Ibos, and when the war was over, I saw to it that the African Continental Bank, ACB, got three and a half million pounds to start with. This was distributed immediately and I gave another sum of money. The attitude of the experts, officials at the time of the ACB was that ACB should be closed down, and I held the view you couldn’t close the ACB down because that is the bank that gives finance to the Ibo traders, and if you close it down they’ll find it difficult to revive or to survive. So it was given.

I did the same thing for the Cooperative Bank of Eastern Nigeria, to rehabilitate all these places, and I saw to it as commissioner for finance that no obstacle was placed in the way of the ministry of economic planning in planning for rehabilitation of the war affected areas.

TWENTY POUNDS POLICY

That’s what I did, and the case of the money they said was not given back to them, you know during the war all the pounds were looted, they printed Biafran currency notes, which they circulated. At the close of the war some people wanted their Biafran notes to be exchanged for them. Of course I couldn’t do that; if I did that the whole country would be bankrupt.

We didn’t know about Biafran notes and we didn’t know on what basis they printed them, so we refused the Biafran note, but I laid down the principle that all those who had savings in the banks on the eve of the declaration of Biafra, will get their money back if they could satisfy us that they had the savings there, or the money there. Unfortunately, all the banks’ books had been burnt, and many of the people who had savings there didn’t have their savings books or their last statement of account, so a panel had to be set up.

It boils my blood to see the unholy lies igbo elders told the present day generation ibos.

The elders are the real enemy of Nigeria!

how potent is rat poison?

Ask your grandfather

Ojukwu should have surrendered? He was out gunned and out manned, and he was still forming never die attitude. The man even had the audacity to come back to the country to contest for an election after such evil. Rubbish!

If we all continue bashing ourselves everyday, then we will all be backward for a long time. Out diverse tribes, ethnicity and religion should be part of our strength, unfortunately we have turned it to our weakness just as we turned Oil to curse which ought yo be a blessing, even I myself, I am a tribal e-warrior, what a disappointed

Some people will just sit with comfort in their room, bring out their phone when they done have a reasonable thing to say or do, come on a faceless forum and type complete rubbish.
How did u come about this ur take story sef? It's not by mouth but which u can still even counter since u have an access to Google. The only tribe in Nigeria that can stand and die for a true course, if u did not know before, is Yoruba. Their people can trade their lives even for a friendship, if it so demands.
Try and research how Adekunle Fajuyi did for Aguiyi Ironsi at his government house in Ibadan.
Would u want to blame Awolowo for being proactive by making education free for his people when same could have been done by his fellow premiers on other regions?
So u want to blame him for being on the side FG of Nigeria he was an important member of, to allow Ibos achieve their self-rule? The same ambition that still suffers some setback since they cannot really settle so many score within and among themselves internally?
Do u know Abiola literally traded his own life for a course he wholly believed in? He would reneged like Ojukwu did who eventually ran away and left his ignorant people die ignorantl?
Try and google how Tunde Idiagbon stood so firmly in support of a regime he was part of?

We cannot continue to act as if we are wise, when on the contrary, we are wide apart from simple wisdom. Enough of all our ethnic blindness!!!
