Scarpon: best president Nigeria ever had

mind you! He was just a mere ceremonial president! He had no Executive Powers! His impact as †ђξ president was not felt! Coz he was just a representative of †ђξ queen. Tafawa Balewa was †ђξ man incharge as †ђξ prime Minister!

LEGEND

Is this as a reminder of our old glories or to make u believe that My Azik would have done something about the Igbos being intra-deported.....

Na Pan Africa, not pan Nigeria!

Sorry fellas, I'm just yanking chains.....

I'm just happy today, don't know why!

God bless Nigeria....One Nigeria forever!

Wow!!!

Igbo man was the first Nigerian president. Why are some folks keep saying the tribe have not provided a president in Nigeria.

What powers did the President posses? That question was the cause of the January 1965 constitutional crisis, in which President Azikiwe refused to call on Tafawa Balewa to form the next government and ordered the armed forces to enforce his orders throughout the federation, by virtue of the fact that he was the Commander in Chief.

Hmmmmm u well?

Cool

The beginning of 50 years of failure.

Hmmmmmmm nce 1

Fazhy: Igbo man was the first Nigerian president. Why are some folks keep saying the tribe have not provided a president in Nigeria.

Because then the Igbo wouldn't get to cry discrimination all the time, and we all know they love to cry discrimination as much as they like to make ridiculous claims (like being Jewish, or contributing 600 trillion to the economy when our entire GDP is only around 40 trillion).

It would also ruin the lie that everyone hates them. They love to tell themselves that lie. If they find out that Hausas and Yoruba voted for an Igbo president, their heads will explode.

They don't even want to be a part of the same country as the rest of us, so what can you tell them?

interesting!
