The year 1947 when Olufunmilayo Kuti (Fela Mama) led an entourage of Yoruba Kings, Royals and Chiefs plus Nnamdi Azikwe to London on a major quest for independence from British colonial rule. Fela was right when he said "She is the only mother of Nigeria. 94 Likes 13 Shares

Zik was a great man who believed in strategic alliance and deployment of intellect to pursue a course and achieve a goal. Ojukwu and Kanu would have gone to such a place with sub - machine guns and RPGs. 176 Likes 10 Shares |

This same leading and political spoon feeding is what some people expected till death do them part. They have chosen to live their lives and political destiny on bitterness, "revenge" and "retaliation" till they die because the spoon feeding has stopped 33 Likes 5 Shares |

Sirjamo: That would have saved us from foreigners from Sudan and Cameroon. The Yorubas and igbos that championed the independence are foolishly at loggerhead today while the Fulani that played no role is calling the shots on all front and smiling to the bank 171 Likes 12 Shares |

This was the NCNC delegation led by Azikiwe (Igbo) that visited London to protest the Richards Constitution of 1945, the two men, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin (Ijebu Yoruba) and Dr Abu Bakar Ibiyinka Olorun-Nimbe (Ilorin Yoruba), were members of the delegation. Others were Malam Bukar Dipcharima (Kanuri), Chief Nyong Essien (Ibibio), P M Kale (Bakweri Cameroonian), and Mrs Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (Yoruba). They were also relatively young then She was 47 Zik was 43 Prince Obafemi Adedoyin was 35 Abubakar Olorun-Nimbe was 39 Nyong Essien, probably the oldest, was 55 110 Likes 8 Shares |

Nigerians always recognise and cherish their right to have sought after independence from Britain. Nigeria even has a day, 1st of October, set aside to celebrate its independence and freedom from Britain But if Biafrans like Ojukwu and Kanu talk about getting independence from Nigeria, the same Nigerian will start screaming "treason!", "python dance!", "war!" Hypocrisy is a Nigerian 26 Likes 4 Shares |

We were too young for independence then, Nigeria would have been better if independence had been delayed till much later when the Brits had fully developed the country. We got our independence without war on a platter of gold and we ran the beautiful country that was gifted to us to the ground. What a shame 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Now dem don use psychology to make sure we don't work together. So it's Afonja vs Biafra. Cone Head vs Igbo Brown Roof vs developer Skull Miner vs Baby Factory.
