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?
Thank u but osus will not accept the fact.

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?

If Chief Unongo was oblivious to all these activities going on around him at this point in time in the history of Nigeria then what claim does he have to the title of an elder statesman?
There were probably less than 5 major newspapers in Nigeria at that point in time.
Perhaps Chief Unongo did not know how to read newspapers or he didn't care. Anyway, even I cannot spoonfeed the Chief, let him find the articles provided by Chief Awolowo and disprove them as inaccurate.
What we know according to Chief Awolowo is that Azikiwe was promoting tribalism as far back as 1939, let him disprove that.

Obafemi Awolowo will always be an hero of the whole yoruba race. He will never be forgotten. No matter how some people try to destroy his name. No matter the hate, he will always be a god to us. Even when this shitty country splits, awolowo will always be respected and adored by ooduans.

A fulani prince from Sokoto, Umaru Altine was the first elected mayor of Enugu, our capital from 1952-1958.

The truth is Zik was too much of a bridge builder. Could Awo have allowed an Igbo or any other ethnicity become mayor of Ibadan??

Awolowo liberated yoruba people from the grip of azikiwe.

StOla:
Why didn't Azikiwe resume in the Western Region as a leader of opposition? Atleast he still had his single seat he won and his party was now holding minority seats when compared to the majority seat that Awolowo and his independents alliance held?

Because he only wanted to lead and not follow. So he ran back to the Eastern region and usurped Dr Eyo Ita as the Premier of that region. All of a sudden, Azikiwe remembered he had a village in the East, yet he wanted to be a Western Premier, when the North had a Northerner and the East had Eyo Ita an Easterner. Or could Awolowo have ran to the East to contest for Eastern Premier if he had failed in his Western bid like Azikiwe quickly retraced his steps?

A man who having schooled in the US and not UK like Awolowo, did not understand parliamentary system of government. He foolishly chose to partner with the Northern NPC to become ceremonial president as opposed to being executive Prime Minister in an NCNC and AG alliance. The same American education would not allow Azikiwe to agree to Awolowo's demand to have a secession clause in the constitution. America had fought a civil war to keep it's territory intact between the slave owning South and the emancipated North Yankees. While a parliamentary Britain had managed to settle for Irish separation from the UK.
In the end, it is his people that suffered for his political ignorance, and ended up fighting a civil war like the Southern Americans and lost like them.

But seriously, how can a tremendously educated Western Region have an Easterner who was only the first generation of educated Igbos as Premier? Even the poorly educated North had a Northerner. What did Azikiwe who was a Lagos politician know about the yearnings and aspirations of the Western Region?

In retrospect, Awolowo proved to be a blessing to the Western region and scored many firsts in Africa, that the rest of Nigeria had to play catch-up.

Abeg, cry me a river.

Ofemmanu1:


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.

U must be a bubbling fool

Answer my question

Who introduced tribalism?

Awolowo?

If u can't when swerve to a nearby lagoon

So because Zik lost out in a political contest using legal means makes Awo a tribalist. But the northerners who will drive cows into your campaign ground or use violent attacks to keep you in check are nationalist to Ibo.

Have you wondered why it was Eyo Ita from the East that emerged as Eastern region premier initially and not Adeniran Ogunsanya or TOS Benson?
So Zik could not find a worthy Yoruba to push forward as premier except himself but he found someone from a tribe in the east for the East?
If his plan was popular with westerners why did it fail?

IBO failure to think strategically has been their bane that got them pogrom in the north and made them play host to civil war. You always fail to take the idiosyncracies of others into perspective, it's always just what you want. You are yet to learn to give up little things for greater reward.
