Nigeria Can't Divide Because Nature Formed It - Nnamdi Azikiwe Blasts IPOB, ESN by SocialCritic: 7:30am On Mar 25, 2021 |
In 1953 when Northern Nigerians were beginning to consider secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be a nation, Nnamdi Azikiwe gave a speech before the caucus of his political party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in Yaba, Nigeria on May 12, 1953. That speech, while not disallowing secession, suggested that there would be grave consequences if the Northern region became an independent nation. Ironically, fourteen years later, Azikiwe led his Eastern Region out of Nigeria and created Biafra, a move that prompted a bloody three year civil war. Azikiwe’s 1953 speech appears below. I have invited you to attend this caucus because I would like you to make clear our stand on the issue of secession. As a party, we would have preferred Nigeria to remain intact, but lest there be doubt as to our willingness to concede to any shade of political opinion the right to determine its policy, I am obliged to issue a solemn warning to those who are goading the North towards secession. If you agree with my views, then I hope that in course of our deliberations tonight, you will endorse them, to enable me to publicize them in the Press. https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/1953-nnamdi-azikiwe-speech-secession/ 1 Share

Marriage is not by force This speech was given in 1953 It doesn’t hold any water , except you want to say Azikiwe has risen from the dead Even Gowon who fought for Nigeria to remain one is regretting his fooooooolish decision I wonder why Arewa is afraid of staying on their own 8 Likes |

The m.o.ro.n thought he was gonna be able to use the north to continue using his ibo brethrens to rule over nigeria by proxy. Man no knw say jungle dey mature. Saw he's lost it and plan failed then planned coup with his folks just to make sure they return to ruling way. Such a useless greedy bastard. The most useless of the black race. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Except the content of the post is far different from the heading I didn't see were he sent army, police, vcivil defence, air force and navy to kill un armed northerners, I didn't see were he ordered shoot at sight to any northerner canvassing for arewa or holding the flag, I didn't see his speech on NIGERIA CAN'T DIVIDE BECAUSE NATURE FORMED IT....I only saw a STUPUD Igbo man who was born and raised in the north....who never stepped feet in the east stupidly looking out for the north as usual....thinking north first Same thing GEJ did What you think NNAMDI Azikiwe was loved so much in the east? It doesn't matter how great books or other people think you're an Igbo access you before rating you... Azikiwe is not that a great man to us in Igbo land because he was busy doing I was born and raised in north, same happened to Kaduna nzeokwu 1 Like |

You may ask me to agree that if the British left Nigeria to its fate, the Northerners would continue their uninterrupted march to the sea, as was prophesied six years ago? My reply is that such an empty threat is devoid of historical substance and that so far as I know, the Eastern Region has never been subjugated by any indigenous African invader. At the price of being accused of overconfidence, I will risk a prophecy and say that, other things being equal, the Easterners will defend themselves gallantly, if and when they are invaded.I like what Zik said here. The north think the east will ever bend over to be fvcked. Their only saving grace is the continued support they receive from the yorubas and UK |

Is Azikiwe back to life... Nnamdi Azikiwe is not an Igbo man, we keep saying this but it seems you guys doesn't want to listen. His Paternity is still in doubt.....Some say he is a Bini man, some say he is Ijaw, some say he was Itshekiri and some say his mother has some kind of friendship with then portuguese traders....and he was a product of such international affair. So until we unravel his true paternity , you guys should stop calling him an Igbo man.. If it means exhuming his bones or using the sand where he was buried and conducting DNA test, we are going to do so |
