Fatherofdragons:If you dont know or admit your mistakes there won't be the possibility of correction or progress. I fault the ops style of preesentation laced with insults to tribes and respected leaders. Insults to others is a sign of immaturity. The attitude of not accepting our mistakes and beliefs that our leaders are infalliable are the reasons for the sorry state of our country today. We can still pry nigeria from the grip of the kidnapoers who are holding us hostage if we admit our mistakes and make amends. Ethnic bashing and squables won't get us anywhere. Our strength is still in our size and diversity. 1 Like |

12Monkeys: I don't blame any Igbo that insults you....you deserve it and much more! It's clear as day that your intentions for starting this thread are not genuine at all and that you've unsuccessfully tried to mask your anti-Igbo sentiments! You fool no one but dyed-in-the-wool Igbo haters who just relish the thought of Igbos receiving a bashing from those they erroneously believe to be fellow Igbo who hate Biafra; Mazi Kanu; unity in the area of the old Eastern Region; but love 'one Nigeria'! You think you can throw us off the scent by abusing Awolowo and northerners as well, but it ain't happening! Try as you may it's just very hard to carry on the pretence for a sustained period of time, and sooner or later the hate, derision and bile you have for Igbos always manifests itself! I highlighted the portions of this post that show just that! Who told you IPOB have failed? Who told you Biafra has failed? Or is that what you've secretly been praying for? One would be forgiven for thinking you're actually from those certain parts of Nigeria that hate Igbos yet equally hate Biafra and IPOB that could be used as vehicles to get rid of them from Nigeria for good! For your information, the economic blueprint Dr M.I Okpara had for the Eastern Region was to make Port Harcourt the New York of the East, as Enugu was its political capital. It made sense seeing as Port Harcourt already had a seaport, railway linking it to the interior and already had gained some economic traction right from colonial times. Or were you expecting both Port Harcourt and Calabar to be the economic and political capitals respectively? One wonders why the same Igbo haters that would be cheering you over this find nothing wrong with their 'one Nigeria' moving the capital from Lagos to Abuja! 5 Likes |

I equally have my issues with Zik and his preference for Nigeria over his people, but i cut him some slack given the nature of his upbringing and political tutelage which was pan-Nigerian in nature. 2 Likes |

Zik was more than Stupid!! He was my father's contemporary and my father said it point blank about Zik. According to my father about Zik,... Oo nya tinyere anyi na ajo onofu a anyi no na ya, o na emenu ka o chia Africa. Zik was a compound Idiot, an opportunistic Buffon and also the same fool who defected back to the federal side when BIAFRA was on it's last legs. Let's be honest, what development strides did he bring to Eastern Nigeria? Apart from UNN and maybe Niger bridge, what did he do?. abeg 12monkeys, you are on point. I won't support an idiot simply because he was (arguably) from my tribe. 3 Likes 1 Share |

For those who wish to argue with their keyboards, lemme give you what to type.. How exactly do the British plan on subjugating the Igbos if they don't get a fool to do it for them. Zik was taken to London as a kid to be taught how to be stupid. You can now continue arguing with your keyboards. 1 Like |

PFRB: 1953. Western and Eastern Nigeria Parliaments are inaugurated. Northern Nigeria is not ready for Democracy as the British try to explain to the Islamofascist Emirs that Democracy isn't a bad thing. 1954. Easter Nigeria Parliament votes to make Enugu the new capital of Eastern Nigeria. Ibadan is voted to be the capital Western Nigeria. Here is the google search page link https://www.google.com.ng/search?q=enugu+capital+of+eastern+nigeria&oq=enugu+capital+of+eastern+nigeria&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.11708j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 And below is the screen capture.

I even got my dates wrong. Enugu was declared capital of Eastern Nigeria in 1960! Almost immediately after independence. So for all of you saying that it was the British that authorized the move, now you know it was Azikiwe! |

12Monkeys:In 1929, the Colonial Government gave approval that the administrative headquarters of Southern Provinces of Nigeria which then comprised of Onitsha, Ogoja, Owerri, Calabar, Ijebu, Oyo, Abeokuta, Ondo, Benin, Warri, as well as the Mandated of the Cameroon, be moved from Lagos to Enugu. Enugu remained the Capital of Southern Provinces until 1939, when the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. W G A Ormsby-Gore, in a memo dated September 17, 1937, approved the splitting of Southern Provinces into Eastern and Western Provinces with capitals at Enugu and Ibadan respectively. |

Azikiwe to me is a fool. If he had not been a typified Joe Igbokwe (Lagos lover) and an Nzeagwu (North lover), there won't have been so much animosity and suspicion of the Igbos by the other nationals of the old eastern region. Azikiwe was a Joe Igbokwe and a Kaduna Nzeagwu rolled up in one nigger. He was a deluded Marxist who believed in One Nijeriya. To me he is the architect of all Nigeria's woes. |
