Let me get you straight. Are you saying you're being forced to vote? I think the sit at home is more forced than voluntary. People are scared for their safety. No such thing when it comes to voting.
That said, are you saying if Obi were to become president today, the Igbo agenda required if him will be to actualize Biafra? I'm sure you and I will agree that will not be the case. There are almost as many Igbo outside Biafra as there are in Biafra. Igbo have more stake and benefit in Nigeria collectively than any other tribe








I said, we have the right to vote since we are still part of Nigeria, i speak with my people everyday, the people you claimed they are being forced to sit at home are not even up to 10%

What is my business with Peter Obi ambition of becoming Nigeria president, how many vote did he got in the East during last election considering our population, I've never vote before, i don't even know how our voters card look like, I'm not interested in who benefit and who does not benefit in one Nigeria, this country was never designed to work, our differences is too much. i see it as a waste of time of everybody

The East had the highest turnout of votes to registered ratio. It shows that the igbo are also politically invested in Nigeria. You can't use your prejudices to describe how other igbos view the Nigerian question. Nigeria was designed to work.

If zik was wise and had foresight, he would have opposed the removal of secession, but he is blind to the future, he want to be premier in the south west.
Zik already knows what the British wants.
He knows the British are merely pretending to be debating about independence.
He knew the British are ready to kill in millions if they are to lose Nigeria completely.
But Zik is not my hero.
On the other hand,awolowo had opportunity to walk his talk but ran to gowon

This is another classic example of why the Nigerian, and indeed Africans, are backward

The white man comes from Europe, uses superior firepower to overrun your ancestors, bamboozled them all into a British colonial project called "Nigeria"

But long after the white man has gone back home, you are still killing your selves to preserve the country he created. You answer a name "Nigerian" that a white woman created in London as your national identity

When someone like Ojukwu, an indigenous son of the soil, wants to create a country, you fight war, kill your selves in the millions, just to uphold a country created by the white man

But there is nothing you as a black African will ever create that Will make the white man kill his white brother

An enforced illegal colonial contraption that the white man shed the blood of your ancestors to create, is what you now shed the blood of your African brother to uphold. This is what you call treason and terrorism.

Terrible

When Isaac Adaka Boro, an Ijaw activist questioned the ideals of the January 1966 and subsequently declared Niger Delta Republic for the Ijaws to secession from Nigeria, it was Ironsi and Ojukwu that truncated the secession attempt and arrested Boro and his group for treason.

Surprisingly, a little more than a year later, the same Ojukwu declared secession of Biafra Republic which even more surprising included the region of Niger Delta and Ijaws in the new republic.

While a casual observer may think that Ironsi and Ojukwu truly believed in One Nigeria, the truth is that they believed the "Igbo Coup of January 1966" had put Nigeria in the hands of Igbos and they didn't want anyone to rock the boat. In fact the Igbos chose that moment under Ironsi to destroy the Federalism in favour of Unitary government with their kin in the saddle. Unfortunately when things turned around with a counter-coup and reprisals, the same people who turned Nigeria to a Unitary Government made a volte face to declare secession in the name of Biafra Republic. And yet someone will say these are honourable men and the ideals of Biafra are borne out of sincerity? Common!!!

Absolutely right. He could have maintained a NEUTRAL STANCE and allow North & East to settle their political score. But he joined his enemy, Arewa North, to fight East just because Gowon “promised” him post-Biafra Nigeria presidency.

DMerciful:
He could have stayed neutral and preoare for a possible failure of the Nigerian state to pull his people out. By encouraging Gowon to create 12 states, he ruined the regions forever.

confusedlady:



Azikiwe was a very unstable politician whose ideology changed with each day.....NCNC.....Biafra......NPP......
He stole NCNC from Herbert Macaulay.......in Biafra he initially supported Ojukwu but midway through the war jumped ship and declared support for Gowon and Nigeria......He stole the Nigeria people's party (NPP) from Waziri Ibrahim who had to abandon the party for him to go and form Great Nigeria people's party(GNPP).

LifestyleTonite:


Your people's penchant to look away even when truth stares them in the face is legendary.

Look at how you excused Zik from the blame. Zik ought to have argued in favour of secession like Awolowo, but he probably thought his people would succeed in lording over other tribes. Sadly, the opposite is the case today.

If Zik had supported secession clause, that would have been two against one. His people won't be screaming Biafra or death today and begging to secede. So you see, Awolowo was a visioneer, he saw today from yesterday.

It's sad that you now want Awolowo to commit a treasonable offense like Ojukwu after the latter's brother Zik supported the law that placed secessionist tendencies as treason.

The moment you fail to acknowledge the truth, no matter how bitter, you will start to make horrible decisions. That's what is wrong with your people.

Armaggedon:
Zik stood for regionalism and federalism with financial and legislative autonomy where the regions developed in their own pace. No contradictions.

One of the most confusing figures in Nigeria's history was Awolowo. He claimed he wanted secession and zik rejected. But when the opportunity presented itself during Biafra, the same Awolowo made a complete U-turn and and started fighting for a unitary one Nigeria as championed by gowon. His attitude justified Zik's opinions about him.

For those who claim his demand was in good faith, his demand was rediculous and he knew it. He was neither here no there. There is no sovereign state in the world that has secession in it's constitution. If he truly wanted his region to be alone he should have demanded a pre-independence referendum like southern Cameroon or pre-independence partitioning as in British India. Opting for a secession clause instead of pre-independence referendum clearly indicated lack of commitment to specific ideology from Awolowo. You can't officially keep one leg in the country and keeping one outside. A snake he was.


Yorubas get called snakes for this but I'm realizing it's just a part of their culture. Yoruba people believe in doing and believing in everything at once while Igbo people believe in all or nothing on beliefs. I'm not necessarily saying one is better than the other.

Yoruba people believe in having one foot in everything so that whatever works or wins, you can be a part of it. They're not idealists or ideological. A single Yoruba man will go to Mosque church and shrine 'just in case'. They will put the eba in the soup and serve them in the same bowl, they will be pro-separation and pro-unity at the same time. Even in family and relationships, they do not want to be on the potentially sinking boat. What is important to them is waiting to see which one wins and not being fully committed to the losing end. Some Yoruba fathers will have a child who they will not see their entire life, but once that child becomes successful, they will be fully in that person's life. This confuses a lot of non-Yoruba people and of course these are extremes that I'm talking about.

Igbo people tend to believe in jurisdiction or have a strong commitment to the idea of everything having it's own place and everyone having their own calling. So if you're a christian, you're 100%, if you're into business 100%, if you're married, 100%, etc. Igbo people only support things they want to support whether or not it has the highest odds of winning. At the same time, they don't support things that are impractical and are slow to give support unless a very strong argument is used to persuade them that is rooted in reality. So like Yoruba people they're not ideological, but if they decide to commit to an idea they were 100% in because they have seen that it's the best possible choice. Their believe is whether it sinks or swims they'll be ok, and it's up to them to make sure is swims. Yoruba people tend to believe they can contribute to something sinking or swimming but external factors that are not in their control will also have say.
Again, when Igbo people serve food, the garri and the soup have their own bowls. These small cultural details tell you a lot on how people operate.



So Awolowo, link most yoruba politicians, are pro-everything and anti-everything at the same time. Whereas Zik was committed to Zikism and Nigeria even to the point of it ruining his political career, ruining his support among his people, and for the majority of a genocide against Igbos. I'm not writing this to be disrespectful, I used to think Yoruba people were just 'wishy washy' but I'm seeing that in their culture, they would rather survive that have 'their way'.

Till tomorrow I still can't understand the rationale behind Azikiwe's decision. Just imagine being played for a fool by some pesky aboki with all his education
I suspect he thought the 1960 constitution gave same powers to the governor General like the 1954 constitution.
This is more reinforced by the fact he did not know he had no control over the military until 1965!!
Zik was a mugu who was the first northern puppet from the South!!

Azikwe was a 'Northerner' by birth and he probably assumed that the NCNC will be able to dominate and control the government in comparison to an alliance with an Action Group party that was filled with experienced politicians from Southern Nigeria.

Things fell apart between Azikwe and his 'Hausa-Fulani' brothers, when the Great Sardauna decided they have had enough of Azikwe and his cohorts and decided to settle for an alliance with SL Akintola, a Yoruba man.

zik's initially pretense of supporting the Biafra struggle, was just politics, because he was never convinced of abaddoning his delusional Nigerian unity.
his passion was for Nigerian unity and never the actualization of the Biafra nation.
Even his passion was never for any Nigeria unity brother. His passion was for power. One Nigeria nah hin form of campaign. It’s all politics..

He wanted power so bad but lacked the vision and tactics. He was also a coward. The north saw his desperation for power and took advantage of him. I’m busy now but I’ll come back to write more later..
