proeast:stop turning history upside-down, trying to re write your own online, internet never forget, No1 NCNC was founded by a Yoruba man Herbert Macaulay, its not Zik party. NCNC is as much a yoruba party than any other region party in the South, the Oba of lagos was a staunch supporter as well as many others, after Herbert Died Zik who was the second in command took over. No2 Awo and Herbert Macaulay had no love lost relationship with themselves till he died, Awo had nothing personal with Zik.. He founded his own party Macaulay NCNC and Awo's AG already had political issues before Zik came to the scene. No 3 no one cross carpeted from NCNC to AG. None of the two popular party could could form a government with the number of seats they won, only a "coalition" could form a government, it was a parliament and to form a government there is a number of seats a party must win in parliament, Awo'AG and Zik's NCNC didn't win the required seat, AG formed "coalition" with a small party and got the required seat to form government, please how is that a betrayal? ZIK did the same thing on the national level when he formed coalition government with the hausa/Fulani party, did anyone cried betrayal? No4, no one stopped zik from becoming premiere in the most richest region in the country, he lost out in politics, you forgot Zik betrayed his constituents in Yaba lagos who are mostly Yorubas who voted for him, he abandoned the mandate they gave him, went to the east, made igbo in parliament to make Eyo Ettah to give up his seat, a member from onitsha had to give up his seat too for Zik to be a member of Eastern parliament and subsequently be elected the premier, all the history are at the national archive. You cant rewrite history, stop lying we wont stop exposing you, no one is perfect, no tribe is perfect but stop lying, its not good for your health. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

masseratti: I hate blind argument. I know you guys are just arguing blindly because the truth is too bitter to accept, especially to people who lacks the maturity that comes with honesty. Pls go through the excerpt I attached below, it is a New York Times publication that was released in the 1970's. From the above excerpt, one can easily deduce that Citibank was one of the biggest banks operating in Nigeria and the American owners refused to accept the dictates of the Indignization decree and they left Nigeria. Some too like them left while others complied. The truth shall set you free, kindly accept it and stop arguing blindly. 1 Like 1 Share

proeast: Abegi, produce the election result that shows clearly that the said NCNC, won the premiership election in western nigeria in 1951 or else just shut the phock up, Why are you ibos still wailing 7 decades after the fact that the yorubas didn't allowed their main enemy to be in charge of their political affairs? Why didn't the "omo ibo" that was born in the north attempt to became premier where he was born? Was it not "tribalism" that would make an ibo man contemplate been in charge of his rival's region? 6 Likes 1 Share |

Let me help you to decipher or summarize what that article is saying, that article was talking about constitution review in 1972,it mentioned Awolowo im his capacity has a regional Ethnic leader, not as a Government official, which he was no more as at 1972,he resigned January 1971 and became a private citizen, the decree you postulating was promulgate in 1972 Awolowo was a private citizen then,read your article well before you post please, the article talked more about census if not anything, no where in that article did it say Awolowo suggested or implemented indigenization. 8 Likes |

You should be the one to be honest with yourself, be specific. And from your article can you read that the banks were sold to the federal government? Through the CBN? No Nigerian owned a bank in the 70s,80s...not until the 90s their shares was sold to the general public. Or you cant comprehend what you posted?

proeast:what do you even understand by the indigenization decree. Many of you just go on shouting about things you know nothing about. Twisting facts.Bringing up stories to suit your narratives.Since independence there As been a clamour for the shit in ownership of economic power from the colonialists to Nigerians.Despite been freed Nigeria was still economically colonized.Go back an read your history proper. NEPC 1972. NEPC decree of 1972 was a legislation to effect changes in the ownership structure of light industries such as retail and small scale businesses. ... A new bank, the Nigerian bank of Commerce and Industry came into existence to facilitate loans to Nigerians for the purpose of investing in foreign owned firms. Even the Government full implementation of the law was more pronounced during obasanjos era as head of state. You can check the New York times take on the issue https://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/30/archives/nigerias-indigenization-policy-under-fire.html During this time it was not only Nigeria that was involved in this process.Many freed african countries had their own from outright nationalization to indigenization.Nigeria chooses that part because it believed 40% ownership was fair to the Foreigner.even today many of you shouting are the first to ask for control in your own local domain.it takes various toga like resource control. It's same. Re writing history to suit your lies is a waste of time. During the indigenization period many Nigerians including the easterners jubilated and bought into it. Please I don't need to tell you to stop propagating your lies. The truth is it will fetch you nothing 7 Likes 1 Share |

horsepower102:It is not an issue if you feel Igbos are good administrators. Just the way I feel about my tribe, Yoruba, too. However, where you are going wrong is saying 'Yorubas destroyed the economy that Igbos built'. That is ridiculous! Literally, you are saying it is only Igbos that are wired to be good administrators in Nigeria, and that other tribes cannot just be! Yet, looking at Nigeria today, South-Western part of the country has the most GDP and IGR in the entire country. Becoming this was no accident! A lot of works went into it; although I agree that we can do better. With the way you try to berate other tribes, I expect the South East to be the most developed region in the country but that is not the case! You claimed you are good administrators and your region is still badly managed by your leaders. Or do you want to claim that what happened decades ago is the reason Igbo leaders have not been able to develop South-Eastern region till today! We see what is happening in your region today. NO MAGIC is happening there! I am not trying to berate you or your region. I am just trying to let you know that it will not do us any good insulting or ridiculing ourselves. Let us leave what is behind where it belongs and focus on what matters. Nigeria needs to visit its core foundation and make necessary changes. Even in our diversity, nothing stops us from being a developed nation. It is our lack of morals and discipline to do what is right and needful that we are where we are today. Cheers! 6 Likes |

T9ksy: Same old tribalism we are talking about. What is wrong in Zik aspiring to a political position in the West? Is West not part of Nigeria? Is Zik not a Nigerian? Obama was originally from Kenya but eventually became United States president. Nigerians are being elected into positions in UK, Canada etc but a fellow Nigerian was discriminated against and denied being elected based on tribalism.

Again, the Indignization decree only took effect in 1972, does it mean the idea also came into effect that same moment it was implemented? The idea must have been brought forward much earlier!! 4 Likes |

proeast: Macaulay did not FORM NCNC. Herbert Macaulay was instrumental in the formation of NNDP which fielded many candidates for seats in Lagos legislative council. The party's candidates were trashed by the candidates fielded by Zik's Nigerian Youth Movement. During formative hours of NCNC, Zik invited Herbart Macaulay to join the process. At this juncture, NNDP ceased to exit as a political party however the name was invoked in 1964 when SL Akintola formed another party in western region and named it NNDP. 1 Like |

solmusdesigns: You guys have time sha. Igbos are singularly the most shamelessly dishonest ethnic group, out of over 300, in Nigeria. Lying childishly and shamelessly, plus revising history fraudulently, is second nature to Igbos. Buhari has been replaced by Jubrin. Trump is ready to declare Biafra, UN about to decree the existence of Biafra, Igbos own 99% of Lagos, Accra and Joburg etal. Their lies are so shamelessly senseless that one can only feel pity for those who take seriously whatever an Igbo writes or asserts. This mumbo jumbo thread is simply another false narrative, out of literally millions, the Igbos create in cyberspace daily to blame Yorubas for everything and assassinate our character before the world.

masseratti: I really do not understand why certain cretins in Nigeria love to make fool of themselves publicly. Herbert Macaulay was invited by Azikiwe to join the factional NYM and trade unions which were in the process to form NCNC. The party NCNC was not formed by Nigerians alone hence National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons. Macaulay's NNDP had been rendered useless by NYM in the Lagos Legislative Council election and party ceased to exist as a political party. Your # 3 is arrant nonsense!! The only two parties with national posture to stand election were AG and NCNC. The mushroom parties were only allowed to contest election under the umbrella and manifesto of a party with national coverage. Zik was the national president of NCNC but leader of NCNC in western region was Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu. If you are in doubt of what transpired in western region during the wee hours of 1951, I urge you to read the biography of Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu not craps and propaganda vomited by partisan Yoruba people. 2 Likes |

The same Igbos that lost their jobs and whose accounts were wiped out through state santioned policy will be jubilating over an Indignization decree they're in no position to partake? You really must think you're talking to kids. Nigeria lacked the technical ability to successfully operate all those franchises at that point in time, and why would that even be the priority of a country that just emerged from a civil war? Why the rush to take over the economy from foreign companies when a significant part of the country was yet to recover from the devastating effects of the war? It was all a smokescreen, an agenda to hand over the economy to a particular section of the country! It is same lies and mischief that has made us to be going in circles. 1 Like
