Life has already judge you - a man who was unsung and unknown all his life! Even in Biafra days, you were neither a hero or a peon to be reckoned with, in Nigeria you are pained that you are still bossed around and you never made it, so shall it be when you kick the bucket too! You are not worth even the shaite of a dog, so I refuse to engage you and wish every poster could do the same! Your voice has never counted in Nigeria, whether in he past, present or future so shut it!
Don't mind Gull. The shrapnels that got into his skull have remained there. They really need to be removed.

Honestly, Yoruba's don't need a green snake under the green grass to tell them what they already know. He might believe what he said and he probably has a lot of respect for Awolowo. However, that doesn't negate the politics being played here and what's at stake.

I believe GEJ is doing everything possible to placate the Yoruba's, and nick votes from them in 2015. He knows Yoruba's are at the forefront of SNC, hence why he has decided to create this ruse to generate interest. Then pulled another smart one by making a Yoruba head the SNC committee. And subsequently he made a Yoruba the head of the Nigerian Intelligence thingy. I'm sure he would throw more baits at the Yoruba's, in the next few months.

They're trying to play chess towards 2015 and Yoruba's need to be vigilant. I'm not partisan, however, I believe APC would cater more to Yoruba interests, than the incumbent. The man, GEJ, is utterly useless - and he needs to be booted out. Yoruba's need to vote as a bloc and vote against him.

PS: who the fekky fvck banned my handles? This fugly and smelly albino definitely wants to be e-slapped on his fvcked face for red-face syndrome. No time for inconsequential peasants. You can ban this one as well, you narcissistic midget, whose only claim to relevance is by butt-hugging the next man's sweat. How about get your bum ar.se off the forum and go create something you can actually own by yourself, you reprobate son of an eunuch?

I'm out!
Ahmed Tinubu and other Yoruba people that knew GEJ is using this and others you've mentioned as well as the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as baits to get them have expressed some reservation on the SNC. It's unfortunate only the South West, Edo State and some few states are seeing the handwriting on the wall.

'In political terms, he would be considered an adversary of the igbos given the intense rivalry between him and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe. As a leader of the modern cast, he has left Nigeria standards which are indelible, standards beside which future aspirants to public leadership can be eternally measured. He was firm, articulate, painstaking, and uncompromising. He was, for a long time, the only Nigerian leader who enunciated principles and played down personalities. He was a brilliant political administrator and a most erudite teacher. He not only identified himself wholly with the aspirations of the Yoruba people of Nigeria but also he was able to convince the Yoruba people of Nigeria that he and only he epitomized the highest point of their political aspirations and consciousness. He was loved, he was feared but above all he belonged to the people he professed to lead. At his death I had the singular honour of proposing for him the epitaph that has endured – ‘he was the best President that Nigeria never had’.

Many have wondered what I meant by this, but I believe the statement was clear. Nigeria would have benefited from his presidency because of his inate presidential qualities. Nigeria must continually regret that he never, for many reasons, had the opportunity to serve at the presidential level. Awo was a leader of great stature. He was a leader who was eminently successful. That he did not fulfill a presidential ambition cannot detract from his leadership, and us, poor us, who were not his people, must continue, to regret that our own leaders had not led us as he did his people or achieved for us as he did for his people.

He perceived his job as leading his people and God his soul. He did a lot for them. Whenever he saw an opportunity for his people, he went for it. He had a dream for the Yorubas and was steadfast in the pursuit of that dream. He knew where he was going and took his people with him without deceit. That is why he will remain immortal in the area of his influence.'

Is that clear enough for you?

For the second bolded part, Igbos produced the first VCs because Igbbos were in power with the North. Same reason why Ironsi was made GOC even though the outgoing British GOC recommended Ogundipe.

You really need to gain some knowledge and increase your logical reasoning before you dive into debates.

The dark sides of Awolowo’s free educational system in western region of Nigeria are being loathed on this forum and suddenly you decided to increment the odds. The people of eastern region of Nigeria were been killed in other regions of Nigeria and were asked to relocate to eastern region by irate crowds supported by indigenous folks in uniform. When the easterners obliged to relocate to eastern region yet Gowon initiated a war against them.

If the best option for Ojukwu was to approach the UN for self determination, may I ask you in what capacity?
Any person could have appraoched the UN, but Ojukwu wouldn't want this because of his selfishness to rule a sovereign state which became clear when he declare Biafra three days after 12 states were created on 27-05-1967. He was pained because Rivers (today's Rivers and Bayelsa states) and South Eastern (today's Cross-River and Akwa Ibom states) states were carved out of the defunct Eastern Region.

Cusubaba: Did i hear u said Yorubas opened the doors of education and development to Igbo's? Guy ur poky olodo. The first Vice Cancellor of University of Ibadan which is in yoruba land is an Igbo man. The first Nigeriaa to trade with European is an Igbo man ( Jaja Nwachukwu). The first richest man in Nigeria is an Igbo man ( Linus Ojukwu) The first President of Nigeria is an Igbo man. The first millitary president of Nigeria is an Igbo man. The first Senete president of Nigeria is an Igbo. The first graduate to enter Nigeria military force is an Igbo man( Odimegwu Ojukwu). shut up poky! The time Igbos open eyes, Yorubas were blind in their cave called Oduduwa Republic( banana).
And you call this achievement. Awolowo's achievement are there in:
1. The first skyscraper - the 25 storey Cocoa House, Ibadan.
2. The first olympic size stadium in Africa, Liberty Stadium, Ibadan.
3. Ikeja Industrial Estate.
4. The first TV station in Africa. This feat was achieved before France and Spain in Europe.

0monnakoda: The other issue is weighting. Weight referes to he relative share of federal legislature or power to determine presidency. The arbitrary creation of states has advantage certain regions more than others and this needs to be redressed. The problem is on what basis or what "starting point". No one gives away advantage without a fight or for nothing.

What basis is good question.it needs to be redefined. When a duckling thinks he is swan. A minority tribe in a small enclave think they are equal to a region.

5. In the West the grant of Regional self-government has on balance been justified. The Action Group Government, led by the Premier, Chief Awolowo, have proved reasonable and competent administrators and, although with the steady run-down of the cadre of overseas officers there is bound to be some decline in standards of administration, the advanced educational programme of the Region should in time provide sufficient replacements. The Premier aspires to national leadership and has to this end formed a close alliance with the principal Opposition elements in the North and East.

6. In the East government has seriously run down. Dr. Azikiwe (" Zik "wink, leader of the N.C.N.C. remains in power as the personification of Ibo tribalism, but his chronic unwillingness to tolerate around him men of independence of mind has brought into being a Regional Executive Council, almost all of whom are nonentities. Some of the Federal Ministers drawn from his Party, notably Dr. Mbadiwe, have recently lost their posts through constant but so far ineffective warfare against his personal dictatorship of party affairs. His star may be on the wane. At present he has no serious rival as leader of the Ibos, who are much the largest race in the Region, and although it would be much healthier for Nigeria if his hand were removed from the helm, the time has passed when Her Majesty's
Government could take any effective action to hasten this process. He must be left to the disillusionment of his own people.

7. The vast Northern Region is still well behind the others in " progress." Two-thirds of its 18 million people are strict Muslims, accepting the authority of their Emirs. Educational progress is still slow and there is no prospect for a generation of the Region being able to replace from its own resources the overseas officers who have served them so well. The North fears and dislikes the more educated Southerners and if they were not economically bound to the Federation would be glad to be quit of it. The Emirs have for the most part recognised that they must come to terms with democracy and support the party at present in power, the N.P.C. The Premier, the Sardauna of Sokoto, is himself of a princely family.

That is funny but that is why there should be devolution of powers and resource control. Is it right to go swanning about with a duckling's resources.
The key issue is that I don't think there can be true negotiation if there is no secession option. Though I don't think secession should be immediate. If a group are not able to reach a compromise then they should be allowed to conduct a plebiscite on secession with perhaps a ten year timetable.This would have to be UN sanctioned.
A situation where minorities are terrorized by majorities is not ideal and I don't think minorities should hold the majority to ransom but people should have a right to opt in or out. I am not opposed e.g to Biafra but the use of force was a mistake. It is most likely that if the North does not make significant compromise Nigeria will split. For one we have to scrap all forms of Sharia in the political space and resource transfer schemes from South to North. Again resource control can be phased so we increase from 13 to 14 to 15 ,16,17 etc year by year or a similar formula till we reach an agreed level and the rest shoul go to the FG I don't support the idea of oil revenue from Rivers forming the basis for the budget of Oyo State or Kebbi State.

The option to secede is sort of a "bargaining tool"; secession will be the last resort if there is no agreeable compromise between all parties, but that option should fundamentally be on the table.

Well war is possible and even likely but such is life. The Soviet Union did split up though without war but in the case of Nigeria I think war is very likely particularly as there are likely to be different foreign powers at play. That is why I say the North need to think deeply. I don't think force can hold us together for ever and so we need to either find genuine unity or split and face the pangs that that will bring. After a war you can focus on development. Our present "No war No peace" condition is a lot worse than war.
