Later on osinbajo -vice-president!
Later on Tinubu - president!

Bia nwokem, how many have u bn 'compensated' with??

Kukutente23:
Awolowo was not a fool. He couldn't have been when he saw through the north. It is Zik the northern mugu that turned you to a slave and 3rd class citizen. He supported Biafra at first only to later denounce it.
If Zik was any wise, he would have easily become PM by aligning with Awolowo instead of becoming an empty governor General who can't even command an office clerk. Ibos are suffering till today for Zik's political miscalculation

engrchykae:
Zik align with awolowo,the cross carpeter?
Zik knew that awolowo have never agreed with him on anything.
When they were in ncnc, awolowo broke out and formed action group.
He said Nigeria is a mere geographic expression and later when opportunity presented itself for him to secede as he wanted in the constitution,he all of a sudden was "irrevocably on the side of one Nigeria"
What do you make of such a low life?
Can you do business with such a man as awolowo?
That's why akintola broke away,

Kukutente23:

Your Zik that's not a bigot. How market for una now? It is the same North that he aligned with that's stopping you people from ever becoming president or getting Biafra

T9ksy:



I understand the rationale you put forward for Zik not willing to collaborate with Awo but can you expatiate why the same Zik chose to, not only joined the north (against the south) but also be a bag-man to sardunna's minion- a mere Grade II certificate holder? This was the man behind the death of many igbos in 1945 (kano) and again in 1953 (jos)?

The sardunna was quite open about how he views us southerners- dirty infidels that must be annihilated in due course. Yet the almighty zik was willing to serve under him

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.

Kukutente23:

Was the sadaurna not dead before the coup?
There's no way the North will have seceded in 1960

Rikkely:


Politicians has always aligned with each other from other regions to win election, i don't see anything wrong with it, no human being with conscience will use hunger as a weapon just to win a war, that's exactly what your Awo did, he's a definition of evil, bigot and heartless man. what he did was a crime against God and humanity

T9ksy:



Yeah, the sardunna was killed in the first coup by the igbos, in 1966.

And if they decide to go their own way, who is going to stop them? Certainly, not we yorubas. Probably, zik could, by offering them the ultimate power in the country however, no group (in Nigeria) can or is able to forcefully keep the north in the country against their will.

SuperOnyi:





I don't know why some of my Igbo brothers are trying to paint Zik blameless, that man made a terrible decision that ended up destroying millions of innocent souls. He was so delusional to think that unity meant that different ethnicities with different values should be forced together. Fvck!

Did he consult the Igbo nation before embarking on such catastrophic mission? Why are we being blamed for the mistakes of these guys we do not even know?

engrchykae:
I am not Zik advocate,here in Igbo land,Zik is hated.

You could have fooled me! Of course, zik is hated in alaigbo even as he was making salient , long-lasting decisions on their behalf. Come again, boss man.


Zik knew what the British wanted.
The British wanted the new nation to be controlled by their good boys(the North)

And, he zik went along with the whole show? He prolly was salivating at how easy it will be for him and his covetous group to snatch power from the semi-educated Northerners in due course.

This is because the North rioted when Chief Anthony Enahoro moved motion for independence.
This move made the British love them.
Always duplicitous, like you clansman. The North said they were not ready for self-rule, upon which, NCNC members booed and jeered at the northern repsentatives, making derogatory remarks about their persons and denigrating their spiritual father- the Sardunna of west African Muslims whilst on their way back to the north from lagos. The riot came by when NCNC officials came to Jos to campaign. It was their return match for what you guys did to them, earlier.

My point is that Zik has always been careless but awolowo have always acted as if he has sense only to Bleep up when opportunity presented itself.
oh I see.....zik is always careless but Awo was a fool, huh? Go on, tell me which opportunity did Awo messed up on? I hope you are not going to mention events that transpired before the civil.war commenced



To answer your question.
ZIK WAS BLACKMAILED BECAUSE OF A LOAN HE TOOK FROM ACB,AFRICAN CONTINENTAL BANK WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.

Are you now admitting that the almighty zik of Africa, was corrupt? Yet, he missed he Jan 15th coup plotters bullets by his kinsmen in the Nigerian army, who claimed they only wanted to get rid of "corrupt" public officials.


THE SAME WAY,TINUBY IS BEING BLACKMAILED WITH HIS DRUG CASE IN THE USA.
THE BRITISH HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE AFFAIRS OF NIGERIA SINCE THE DAYS OF ROYAL NIGER COMPANY

Kukutente23:

It is virtually impossible
They wouldn't have succeeded because the rest of the country would have also ganged against them. What you fail to realise is that Nigeria as a young country was seen as a proof that different African countries can join together and still live as one.
If they wanted to leave, as long as secession was not in the constitution, both Igbo and Yoruba would have stood against them

Wahabfuture:



Was it your father or mother that told you lies so as to have something to masturbate about ?
Your ancestors were a sordid sight to behold after they were mercilessly dealt with.
How would you like a repeat of that because I can see that ahead of you again ?






You must be mistaking him for Awolowo who killed himself with Rat Poison called Otapiapia and don't forget he's greater than your entire region and ancestors both live and dead's

If you don't like what's happening, you can go hug a transformer or you continue to wail ad infinitum.
The choice is yours.





Gibberish Staled propaganda, lover of one Nigeria look at what you have done to the Country, arguing with most of you guys is waste of time, why do you guys find it difficult to have your own country without the Igbos?

BlowYourMind:
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.

TimeManager:

Read the article very well or go get the full speech of Azikiwe against secession clause. Zik clearly argued that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable. He argued that Nigeria is an indivisible and indisoluble union. Impliedly, Zik was appealing to the British monarchy to arrest and jail Awolowo for supporting the inclusion of secession clause.

-Kiss the truth!

Uchek:
So why did Awo who advocated for secession clause in 1954 fight against secession when it finally happened in 1967? Does it mean that he was merely grandstanding when he advocated for the inclusion of clause in the independence constitution. Action speak louder than words.Zik verbally opposed secession clause. Awo on the other hand fought a war & killed millions of his fellow Nigerians who actionalized the very idea Awo advocated in the past.

How do you explain the dissonance between Awo’s words on secession & action on secession?

AlexBells:

You are not in position to decide that but I can guarantee nobody in your generation yet comes close to Zik in smartness. Same secession later plunged the country to 3 years of civil war and you think Zik wasn’t smart in avoiding that in the first place.

ElevationD:



If Awolowo was a visionary, why then did he go ahead along with the west into independence with the rest of the country?

Since Azikiwe had clearly stated before independence that it would be treasonable, why would he agree with the secession plan, knowing that he along with the east were signatories to Nigerian independence?

Or did you not read that secession was debated deeply and Awolowo took the whole day to present his point? Or you do not know that if Awolowo was not convinced, he would not have proceeded?

The only bondage there simply is the bondage of voting for very horrible leaders. When you vote for those who violate you financially, embezzle the common patrimony, put you in servitude and perpetual misery, do not blame Awolowo, Azikiwe, Sadauna and the rest, who were honest leaders and wanted better societies for their people.
