Investigative: If you truly knew the meaning of democracy you wouldn't be maintaining this unintelligent line of arguement. Azikiwe never pursued one-Nigeria as an individual project but in representative capacity of the Igbos who voted him to the federal parliament to represent them. Was it the British that appointed Azikiwe into that federal parliament in which he fought against secession clause motions by Awolowo, Enahoro, Ahmadu Bello and even Tafawa Balewa, or Zik voted himself there? Look the constitution back then made recall process very easy hence if Igbos found Zik's activities in the federal parliament unrepresentative of their interest, they would have moved a motion to recall him. If you don't recall a representative of yours in a democratic assembly then you implicitly agree that he is still doing your bidding. That is how democracy works and indegenous participation in democracy started in Nigeria in 1922 which was at least 22 years before Zik began to use his representative office on behalf of the Igbo nation to thwart all pro-secession motions. The British didn't appoint any puppets anywhere. That Nnamdi Kanu's line is already stale and proven to be a face-saving revisionism. The 1959 elections ended in a stalemate and Azikiwe, in pursuit of Igbo interest, decided to reject the proposed all-South alliance (which would have made him prime minister) in preference for the NPC-NCNC master-slave coalition which made him a relatively powerless Governor General. In his own words and on behalf of Igbos he was representing, "I made that choice because an alliance cutting across North and South was better for "national unity" and the sustenance of Nigeria". It is not recorded anywhere in the annals of history that the British forced him to reject the proposed all-South alliance that would have made him prime minister. So cut this British involvement theory. It is has over time become a hard sell. If you expect that Tafawa Balewa could have recognized secession clause while he was prime minister, then where do you place the principle of separation of powers? How possible is it for the head of the executive arm of a democratic government to just amend a sovereign people's constitution without first sending it to the legislature in the form of a bill? What are you even saying? Cannonization of secession clause referendum or any other constitutional amendment are all duties of the legislature and never that of the executive. So your rhetorical question on why Tafawa Balewa couldn't recognize secession clause only shows you don't know the guiding principles of democracy. Wasn't it in the legislative parliament that all the motions for and arguements against secession clause played out between Awolowo, Azikiwe, Enahoro, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa all before Independence? So why are you expecting it to shift to the executive post independence when we even became officially a democratic society guided by the principle of separation of powers? If Igbos sincerely didn't support Azikiwe in his fight against secession clause, then why didn't the Igbo members of the post independence federal parliament move the motion afresh for secession clause knowing fully well that the British was gone and the other tribes whose leading lights had been moving the motion were still favourably disposed to it? Again, were you expecting secession clause to have made it into any of the constitutions that came after Independence Constitution knowing fully well that they were all documents midwifed by the military? If it was so easy to imput secession clause into a military-midwifed constitution, then why didn't Ojukwu himself propose such in Aburi Accord at a time he was even contemplating secession? 1 Like 1 Share |

Investigative:We began with democracy in 1960 and sustained it until 1966 when Ironsi introduced military rule and it was thereafter everything fell apart into the mess Nigeria has become. If Ironsi never introduced militarism, Nigeria would have by now been rubbing shoulders with USA, UK, Germany, Canada, China, etc in terms of development and perfect system of government. 1 Like |

Investigative:You are the dumb and silly one fooling yourself here. What can be more democratic than a new country having its constitution drafted by an assembly 100% composed of freely elected representatives from all federal constituencies who all attended the London Constitutional Conference? Go and watch the proceedings of that conference on YouTube and see for yourself that there was no soldier, be it from Britain or Nigeria in attendance. It was all purely done by those elected representatives acting on the sovereignty of the people back home. The US is a strong example of democracy today because its own Independence Constitution too was drafted by the American people through the representatives they all duly elected to Philadelphia. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way to make a constitution is by the people directly or through the representatives they freely elected by themselves. If Nigeria was able to fulfill this condition in drafting the independence constitution, then only a crass ignoramus and incorrigible idiot would keep blindly insisting that Nigeria never practised democracy. The same Britain you have been falsely accusing of imposing a constitution on Nigeria by virtue of colonization also colonized America which we all know to be the most perfect democracy in the world today as US shook off British vestiges later and made an American peoples constitution for themselves. Same with Canada, India and even South Africa. We did same in Nigeria too and later took it a step further by making a complete breakaway from the British vestiges by way of derecognizing the Queen of England in the 1963 Ammendment. But unlike USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc, we were unfortunate to have one half baked education army GOC who abused his office to misadventure into politics and brazenly do away with that peoples sovereign constitution only to replace it with his tribe's own hidden agenda ladden constitution. So we never operated a British imposed constitution as your likes would claim in order to exonerate Ironsi from the mess Nigeria has become on account of his idiotic subversion of the independence constitution. If anything, what we are suffering in Nigeria today is Ironsi imposed constitution. Colonization doesn't automatically translate to imposition of imperialistic constitution. Ironsi was the imperialist who imposed on us a constitution alien to our collective identity and aspirations. 1 Like 1 Share |

Investigative: The mentality of an ignoramus. If you had such republican cum decentralization leaning constitution you operated pre-colonial era and you made progress by it, then how come you people became the one chanting one-Nigeria and pushing for a centrifugal constitution post colonization? How come you people ended up being the ones suddenly talking of the need to do away with ethnic consciousness for Nigerian nationalism? How come you people became the very ones mounting pressure on the colonial overlords to declare Lagos a no-man's-land rather than just being satisfied in remaining back in your region to keep operating that pre-colonial republican constitution that was supposedly giving you tremendous progress? How come your political elites became notorious for the advocacy of a Nigeria in which ethnicity would be outlawed as Ironsi would actually later attempt? How come Ojukwu, one your very own, ended up being the one who attacked Isaac Adaka Boro and forced him back at gun point into the same Nigeria you claim was imposed on you by the British? And in the end you all later gathered yourselves together to declare that Ojukwu your all time overall hero. A hero who once thwarted an opportunity to disintegrate the very Nigeria you claim was imposed on you by the British. Why are you wasting your comedy talents on NL when the likes of I go die and Teju Baby face are smiling to the banks everyday with the millions they make from their dry jokes?

Investigative: Do you know what makes you a very terrible idiot? Your tendency to continue lying with a straight face even in the face of hard facts bursting your lies. So if you purportedly fought a war with the British in resisting colonization and well after colonization you willfully joined other tribes in sending representatives to London in 1958 to draft a constitution for the new Nigeria, it can still be said that you never supported Nigeria? Are people not judged by what they did most recently? It is obvious that you are one of the eaters of Lamidi Cownu's shit hence the bug of his illogical and anomalous way of reasoning has taken a very deep sting into you. Which tribe didn't fight against the British if I may ask you? Haven't you ever heard of the massive Benin Invasion provoked by the Binis' resistance to British colonization? You are just a brainless cranium parading your ignorance on public space. Mr. Idiot, get this into your coconut head. When a people don't support an idea, they completely disocciate themselves from anything that has to do with the idea or anyone who ever once acted in defense of that idea. Ojukwu arrested Isaac Adaka Boro and nearly got him killed for trying to dismember Azikiwe's fraudulent one-Nigeria, the same Ojukwu, in later fighting for Biafrau.d made the same one-Nigera propagating Azikiwe the foreign minister of Biafra. Then Ojukwu himself would later return to Nigeria to denounce Biafra, identity with one-Nigeria and even contest severally to rule one-Nigeria and after failing repeatedly you Igbos in a grand ceremony gathered yourselves and officially declared Ojukwu as your all time leader and hero and you this insignificant idiot in Igbo land is resident on Nairaland twisting history here that Igbos never supported one-Nigeria? Ipob recently disrupted a symposium in Igbo land and chased all the attendees away from the venue with gunshots because they saw Azikiwe's name in the list of those to be honoured with posthumous awards for invaluable contributions to the Igbo nation's interest. Their arguement was that Azikiwe put Igbo in the mess they are in till today and added that had Azikiwe aligned his thoughts and ideology with those of Awolowo, Enahoro, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria would have evolved differently to the good of everyone today. That is how to genuinely dissociate from an idea. So we can correctly say that IPOB has so far never supported one-Nigeria. But for the general Igbo nation which continues to venerate Azikiwe and Ojukwu who at different times promoted one-Nigerianism, it is stupid for anyone to say Igbos never supported one-Nigeria. The worst part of your annoying hypocrisy is your consistent refusal to answer the question as to why Igbos who elected Azikiwe to the federal parliament to represent them couldn't simply set out collecting signatures for his recall when he was fighting against all pro-secession motions being moved on the floor if truly his position wasn't representative of Igbo aspirations. All you could say in your usual evasive response was that Nigeria wasn't practising democracy and that Azikiwe was made a figurehead by the British as if his becoming Governor General happened before independence when he fought and killed secession clause motion. Can't you see that you hardly make sense? 1 Like 1 Share |

Investigative:And you remain a fool and an irredeemable ignoramus for not answering the question as to whether Zik elected himself or Britain appointed him to the federal parliament where he propounded one-Nigerianism, fought against secession clause motions and even played the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempt to get the Yorubas in present day Kogi and Kwara States carved into the Western Region to join their Yoruba kit and kin. Then your continued avoidance of the question on why no Igbo man moved any motion to recall Zik from the parliament if his activities on the floor were divergent from Igbo aspirations is the final evidence seal of the worthlessness of whatever you carry as education certificate. Mumu boy trying hard to sell a senseless narrative just to deny being the originators of what boomeranged badly on them. Why did NCNC members from Igbo land try to pressure the colonial overlords into declaring Lagos a no-man's-land? Why is it that till today only Igbos keep arguing that Lagos is no man's land when every other tribe is seeking restructuring that would constrain everyone to remain in their region and develop it with resource control or better still make way for outright disintegration? Why were you people the only tribe Ahmadu Bello had issues with as Northern Region Premier who believed strictly in Northernization policy as against one Nigeria? That a person who was committed solely to his region's interest as enshrined in the constitution back then had a reason to be resentful of you can only mean that your ideology was directly opposite his thus you were preaching one-Nigeria which he found dubious and offensive. 1 Like 1 Share |

Investigative:Zik firstly became Governor General in 1960 and it was in 1963 the constitution was changed by the federal legislature by which he became president. The same constitutional amendment dereconized the Queen as ceremonial head of government. So how does it even make sense that the British made a constitutional ammendment to derecognize their own Queen in favour of a black man Azikiwe? You know nothing. 1 Like |

Investigative:If the British was still controlling Nigeria well into independence as you would have your gullible followers believe, then how come Balewa and Zik defied the Privy Council with a retroactive ammendment in 1963 by which they upturned the judgement that Akintola's reinstatement without election was illegal and should that Akintola should vacate that seat for fresh election to be conducted in the Western Region? Keep hiding under blaming the British. I guess you would also say that it is the British that is presently controlling Buhari hence Buhari can't be accused of misgovernance.
