This news is bull_shii. A regent is not a king. She's just there till the council of elders decide who is going to be king. She will leave the post when a king is found and installed. Get your facts right before you come here to make a fool of yourself. 2 Likes |

[quote author=ndu_chucks] This is the very reason why my heart breaks when the tribalists, secessionists, and separatists among you people start exhibiting gross, senseless bigotry on NL. You people were not like this until you tried to fight your misguided war. (QUOTE) No, blockade had already happened. Look, blockade did not happen because Awolowo said so. It was the military system that created the blockade because the soldiers had already surrounded the Eastern region and the soldiers ensured that only they got the resources being brought in. It was the soldiers that starved the children of Biafra because they did not allow even the Red Cross to distribute the foods properly to those who really needed it. We have been reading Alabi Isama. We all know that one of the greatest failings of the Biafra side was that they moved populations from where they could farm and moved them to areas where they were bloody refugees waiting to be fed. That was a plan- less revolt. When you don’t plan your revolt and you do not think it through, when people talk about genocide in that kind of situation, for God’s sake we should also ask them where their brains went to. Because if you say children are dying, it means you are taking a military decision. How many children will I let die in order to wait for ammunitions to come? The point I am making therefore is this: When you hear of the word ‘genocide’, don’t look at it as something Nigeria did to Biafra. It was something that the Biafran military and intellectual class did to their own people. They had to make a choice, as to how many children they would allow to see dead in order to continue with their revolution. They preferred to see the children dying. 1 Like |

victorlexa: So to some igbo's nw dis is some sort of victory? Na wa oooooo 4 dis country sef... Until Igbos can overcome their anti-Awo sentiments, they will not be able to find out how their leaders misled them during the war. After the second coup that brought Gowon to power, the Middle Belt soldiers were now in control of power in Nigeria (something they never could have imagined) and they used it to liberate their people in the North by creating states. Middle Belters were oppressed by the Hausa-Fulani historically and had an opportunity to liberate themselves at last after Gowon came to power. There was no one monolithic North. Remember that before the first coup, there were massacres against the Tivs ordered by the Sarduana and many Christians leaders in the North were in jail. Ojukwu’s insistence on going back to the regional arrangement was a no-starter and Awo understood that point well. In fact, Awo had advocated for the creation of states for the Minorities. Remember that Awo was the ONLY independence leader who fought for the minorities while Zik and Sarduana refused to give the Minorities their rights in the East and North respectively but created a region for the Midwesterners out of the West in their Anti-Yoruba Alliance. Igbo leaders made many tactical mistakes; they shouldn’t have gone to war. Blaming Awo alone for their misfortunes during the war will not help them to understand what happened so that they can prevent a reoccurrence in the future. 1 Like |

victorlexa: So to some igbo's nw dis is some sort of victory? Na wa oooooo 4 dis country sef... It began by saying after the colonialist must have been driven away, the northerners, who will take over the government do not have enough educated people to fill the job that the Oyibo man will be leaving. So the NCNC representing the East organised for the job to be taken over. They took over the job and ensured that people from other regions were eliminated from strategic positions. Don’t never let us forget it. Chinua Achebe himself became director of external broadcasting as a young man fresh from the university. They took over as many jobs as could be taken over. But they did not count on something while they were taking over the jobs. The northerners whom they thought were silly and did not know what to do made sure that all the railway extensions in Nigeria, all the military installations, the Kainji Dam for electricity and even the iron and steel industry, which was already proposed to be sighted in the east, all of them went to the north. It was at that point in 1964 that the easterners realised that the northern ruling class was not as bankrupt, ignorant or unthinking as they had imagined. It was at that point that the idea of a coup began in Nigeria’s history because that year, when the NPC (Northern People’s Congress), NNDP (Nigerian National Democratic Party) coalition NNA (Nigerian National Alliance) won the election, ZIK (Nnamdi Azikwe) refused to call them to form a government because, as he said, they had rigged the election. They knew if an Awolowo had been the President of Nigeria, Singapore would be just small stuff, in relation to the kind of achievement we would have had. We had television in the western region. Before many Europeans heard about it, we had a free education system before most people in the world heard about it. The health policy that is throwing Obama into a hate figure for the rightist in America was already in place in the old Western Region. It was moving speedily on. Americans were getting on to it in the 21st Century and we were there in the middle of the 20th Century. When the World Bank opposed free education in the Western Region, Awolowo went to court and pursued the policy and succeeded. But they took a group of Nigerian social scientists away from this country, trained them in miserable World Bank economics that devalue productivity in favour of consuming what the west produces and it has become the culture. In South Africa, it has also become the culture. We had people who genuinely fought. In Nkurumah’s case what they did to him was a different ball game. Like Awolowo who could not become the head of state of his country, and therefore could only perform his magic in a region, Nkurumah had a country to play with. And what did they do to him? They went after Nkurumah consistently and hacked him down. When Nkurumah shouted against imperialism, people always asked what was he talking about – until Nkurumah was thrown out of power and died. And then the issue became obvious and clear through true confessions by CIA operatives who admitted that they were the ones who created Nkurumah’s problems. Actually if Awolowo had pursued genocide, the war wouldn’t have gone the way it went. Awolowo insisted that Nigeria must remain a united country. And that was number one and he said so from the day he left prison till the day the war started and he went out making every effort to ensure that all the regions came to the common table to take the decision. Unfortunately, those who did not have guns, but were campaigning for war, are the ones talking of genocide. No, the genocide started by those who went to a war they knew they were not prepared for. It is wrong to land your people in a mess because you refused to make use of the practices you learnt in a proper war school. They weren’t proper soldiers. What they learnt in the war colleges, they refused to make use of them. No it wasn’t genocide. It was about a group of intellectuals and military men who refused to make use of the knowledge available. Their failure is now being interpreted as the genocide bid of the other side. No, it is wrong to interpret the Nigerian civil war as that. 2 Likes |

She's only there for the moment. And even if she isn't her kids can never be made Oba in Akure or anywhere else. Paternal lineage is considered not maternal. I suspect the exiled oba would return, if he presents a good case. The problem is that there's rivalry in the two royal clans and Adesida's daughter seems fair enough as a regent- but make them do comot the woman |

ndu_chucks: Misguided war? Igbos were being slaughtered like chicken in the north and west, yet you have the temerity to call the war misguided. So we should have stayed put like statues were we get butchered. We came out of our shell very early with intention to embrace the concept of one Nigeria, but we were pushed back and tagged "over ambitious". all the problems igbo ppl have are by products of the war. Our sense of rationalization have been so dulled that paranoia is almost a part of our life. Read books by renowned igbo elites and see how they feel about the way Nigeria treated them. Read with an open mind free of tribal jingoism, and you will understand that we were left with no other option. Nobody stays in a house that he is not welcomed or wanted. PS: I believe the war would have been avoided if the government had done the right thing and I also believe in the unity of Nigeria but please don't call the civil war a misguided one. |

The Op is really ignorant. She's not a king but a reagent "adele oba". And she isn't the first female to acquire the position. I guess she's the late king's first child that was why she was chosen. It's only a matter of time before a real king is crowned |
Re: Mrs Dike An Igbo Citizen To Become The First Female OBA In Yoruba by logica(m): 1:50pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
emeka94:I see how you embraced the concept of one Nigeria in the following: 1. The VC of University of Ibadan (who happened to be Igbo) appointed by Azikiwe employed 109 Igbo and 2 Yoruba within the same time frame all in the name of "One Nigeria". 2. The coup of January 1966 which was "meant to release Awolowo" never made it to Awolowo's detention cell; rather it led to the elimination of 2 politicians who had openly expressed their suspicion of an "Igbo agenda" - Ahmadu Bello and Akintola. Meanwhile there was a lot of collateral damage - Ademulegun and his pregnant wife, Maimalari, et cetera. But ALL the Igbo "targets" managed to escape, all in the name of "One Nigeria". Meanwhile, another "target" in the person of Azikiwe who happened to be a cousin of the person considered to be the leader of the coup planners (Ifeajuna) was "coincidentally" out of the country as the coup commenced. 3. When Decree 34 was promulgated by Ironsi, Ojukwu insensitively hailed it and openly stated that it would allow Igbos to go take the jobs of Northerners; only to start talking about federalism/confederation after the wholly expected backlash; all in the name of "One Nigeria". Can you tell us more about this concept of "One Nigeria" please? emeka94:While this is a sad reality; and one which most Igbo would not even admit, which underscores your sincerity, I have to say you only have your leaders to blame for this. Both present and past. |

The same people who called yoruba women dirty and promiscous are now quick to claim a yoruba woman as one of them just because she's now a regent. I don't know what to say. I don't even get why they are so happy. The Yoruba wouldn't give a flying f-u.ck if it were to happen vice versa. So much noise over nothing that would affect their individual lives. I give up on the foolishness of these people. 2 Likes |
