Yes. Awolowo was visionary enough to prevent the nepotism of Igbos to come to play in SW. That is why he is greater than Zik in all ways. A yoruba man Herbert Macauley handed over NCNC to ZIk but what was noticed after assumption of Power, he started filling NCNC with igbo people in their usual characteristic nepotism manner. He used his Nepotism to force Igbo VCs on Uni of Ibadan and Unilag. Awo must be a fool to allow an Osu Nyamiri to be a leader of our region after telling the world their mission in 1945 and 1949: Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile). ”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949). Awo told he mofo to support insertion of secession clause in the constitution, rather Zik thwarted it. Awo proposed forming of Govt with ZIk, rather the useless Zik opted for the North Zik used his cousins to kill the leaders of other regions with the hope of entrenching the nepotism of Osus in place. Something they could not do democratically. The same Zik left his people in their time of need and defected to the Nigerian side. What did ZIk do for his people with the money FG released after the war into his ACBank? 68 Likes 17 Shares |

Very true. Awo pulled a great cog in Nigeria's wheel of progress. I don't even understand why his face remains on our currency because he never believed in one Nigeria. He was the one that said, "NIgeria is a mere geographical expression." Now, how can a nationalist say this? 3 Likes |

So what is the fool saying in essence? That an igbo man should have been allowed to dominate Yorubas or what? Can the igbos allow a Yoruba become councillor in their place at that time talkless of premier. Now I see why Ojukwu didn't get Awo's nod.. fools think Yorubas should always be under them. Stupid talk from a very stupid man. And for the records, Nigeria's problem started with the first Igbo coup not land grabbing resistance. Such nonsense 33 Likes 3 Shares |

What a load of horse shit ![]() ![]() Awolowo was a brilliant mind who correctly identified way back that the current political configuration of the nation was not going to work. He was of the view that the biggest element of disunity was language. And back then advocated the re-organization of the using the parameters of language and economic viability. Calling Awolowo a genius is an understatement. Based on his babel theory, he accurately predicted the split up of many countries. 39 Likes 3 Shares |

BuariCopyPaste: If you can read and understand this post, your paranoia will cease. IGBOS in their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes. Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos. There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse. Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples. I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North. As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria. As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement. In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle. Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist. The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner. After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP. The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest. #Akin writing from PH. 80 Likes 24 Shares |

It's a good thing Awolowo didn't allow Azikiwe to take over the West. He had an abnormal propensity to aspire to leadership but he unfortunately was a mediocre. Azikiwe that stole funds meant for development of Igbos im the Eastern region and used it to start ACB Bank. The only reason he refused to support Biafra was because he didn't want Ojukwu to outshine him in Igbo leadership. The Hell fire that would burn Zik would be powered by gas. It would be burning blue fire. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Guestlander: Azikiwe worked closely with Herbert Macauly in agitating for independence. The National Congress of Nigeria and Cameroun, NCNC was the only national party and was led by Macauly until his untimely death. After Macauly's death, Awo began scheming by using Yoruba Obas to convince Yoruba party men of the NCNC to defect to his regional tribal party, AG.
