Why Awolowo was busy developing the Western and mid-western region with University and free education and creating institutions for them.

Awolowo helped in establishing the University of Ibadan in 1948, it took Azikiwe and Co more than 15years after to established a University in the eastern region, even later than Ahmadu Bello University.
They seized all our lands in Port Harcourt, imposing heavy fines on our people.

They (Zik and cronies) only developed the Igbo region ala Enugu. Citing all FG structures there. PH and the rest were left to the mercies of God. Untill Gowon created Rivers State in 1967. Your Azikiwe made sure the minorities suffered for been part of you people.

Who built Presidential Hotel PH? Who
constructed the Trans-Amadi Industrial layout?
My memories are kinda vague.


Even my grandfather, a palmwine tapper/seller
paid taxes and mehn suffering no be small
thing. If only Enugu was developed, how come
my father and his mates could not afford to
pay their school fees? Why was it that most
families in Igbo land usually had one educated
person only during this period?


Kel4soft, you don dey make me vex seriously. I
expect you to attack the corrupt mindset of
our past leaders instead of the entire ndi Igbo.

My bad if I offend you. I just want to know how Awolowo can declare free education and our past leaders refused to toe the same line. Was it that they couldn't afford it then or what.

I need an explanation now.

Obudu cattle ranch was Okparas work. The palm tree revolution, the industrial areas, endless schorlarships abroad, hotels, schools. Okpara was able to build an eastern economy that rivaled that of south Korea... I am sure the starter of this thread is not from the SS. It looks and smells like another "sophisticated" shyte from the dangerously "progressive" ones.

Sell ead office was in owerre okpara took it to prt harcourt and after the was awo took it o Laos

Okpara had a wholesome approach to leadership. Developing every part of the system and gradually developing.

Awolowo had a particular approach to leadership. Developing one part of the system at a time.

1. University of Nigeria at Nsukka was the first indigenous university in Africa. the Britsh built the university of Ibadan as an african extension to Cambridge. Zik build Nsukka, Awolowo did not build or attend University of Ibadan.

2. You're yoruba and bored.

Have you heard of the biggest African palm research institute in Biase, Obudu Cattle Ranch, Metropolitan Hotel-all in Cross River State, University of Calabar? These legacies will always commend Okpara.

And how is it possible that only the minorities were compelled to pay tax in eastern region? Why have the so called minority states, with allocations two times bigger than that of the entire SE still unable to lift their people out of poverty? You see why some of us are advocating an eastern renewal- not necessarily to re-unite SS/SE- but just to clear some of these false indoctrinations.

I am really supporting GEJ, but I would like to watch the fire after APC takes over power and begin to revise these fat oil derivation allocations, PIB, Amnesty allocations, and oil blocks license rounds. I was part of the state-wide outcry in Akwa Ibom when Obj re-introduced offshore-onshore oil dichotomy. And a repeat is inevitable after Boko Haram has been sold to the Americans as a product of poverty and lesser oil revenue in North relative to SS bogus allocations.

Some of our brothers in SS are too myopic, brainwashed and wired from childhood to grope in Igbophobia. Half education is dangerous. Tufiakwa!

You are a bloody fool that lacked formal education. If you were not a basement airhead, you would have realized that Awolowo that was financially pressed as a result of law school load in London could not have helped in establishing of a university college in Ibadan about 1948.

Since you are very anemic with the facts, it will be a waste of time to educate you.

I thought yorubas said port harcourt was a thriving city when the white men came. So how was it zik's duty to develop the thriving city?

awolowo established a university of ibadan in 1948? Abi it was university college Ibadan established by britons when awolowo was still a cocoa farmer in ikene ogun state

My advice to Kel4soft is don't CONFRONT the Igbos like this next time, they don't tolerate confrontations from a more knowledgable source. They will rather crowd here and press the garbages emanating from their skulls into ur mouth, so why suffer them thru such effort & hardwork, pity their feeble hearts.

The strategy is to ENGAGE them whenever & wherever they insult ur intelligenge as an Ijaw man-something they'd always done here on Nairaland and books circulated within Igboland but too scared to say publicly or before an Ijaw man.

The University of Portharcourt was a campus of UNN like wise Unical, the OP is too myopic.

The University of Portharcourt was a campus off UNN like wise Unical, the OP is too myopic.

Una get too much time o.The OP is none other than Alh harem a.k.a ijaw citizen n whatever moniker he chooses to come up with.You all can see he knows nothing about the East or even pre-independence Nigerian political setup.Awolowo helped found University College,Ibadan?.Jesus wept.

It is a crime against humanity to put the name of Nnamdi Azikiwe, an intellectual iroko and one of the forefathers of African nationalism on the same sentence with that of a bare-faced murderer, a petty coupist and genocidal extraordinaire like Awo. It takes a lot of nerve to attempt that kind of blasphemy. Zik rightly or wrongly saw Nigerians as humans belonging to the same African struggle and calibrated his work to attain freedom for his people, the black people of Africa.. Even his worst enemies find it hard to ignore this striking reality. On the other hand, one 4 oclock eyed Awolowo invented tribalism fromno where into Nigerias politics just to be relevant. He couldnt compete on the national level based on his intellectual sagacity so he needed to create his own world. So like Oduduwa, he dropped division amongst us from space,.. from no where and we have been victims of his warped ideas ever since. Cocoa house and a squalid free education cant burnish this infamous pedegree attained at the cost of millions of lives..

It is also instructive to note that Awos destructive attempt at nationalism started after he was sent as a reporter to monitor one of Ziks flambouyant anti colonial/imperialists campgains. Many people dont know this because the ogboni cultists that dominate the editorial boards of the Lagos Ibadan press will do every thing to hide this. Petching effectively from the top of a mango tree (not sure if he was wearing his corrupt symbol; the flowing agbada) Awo was more interested in providing yoryb answer to ziks towering political standing rather than get down to fight the common enemy; the colonialists. After the event, he decided to go back to school, adult education all in a bid to stand a chance to compete. he formed egbe omo oduduwa in london, forcing divisions here and there when he ould have easily gotten his own republic.. He did get that chance to make policies but it cost humanity over 3 million lives leading credence to the fact that hspolitcs rose from the pantheon of infamy.

Today he is being projected as the best thing after egwusi soup by a snarling band of ethnic henchmen, yet apart from free/empty education, there was nothing this brigand achieved for his small clan of ethnic chauvinist that was not done after a series of 'sophisticated' robbery epedition against his neighbours. A man of foresight cant leave this world full of acrimony between his people and their neighbours and still expect eternal veneration.. You may attempt to compare Awo with Okpara, afterall they were regional premeirs at some point and their policies are there to be comparatively analysed but to drag Awos nauseating cadavar near Zik is to rain insults on decency. Clean minds have a duty to resist this evil. In a multi ethnic society this evil introduced a worse evil. We are still dealing with the menace that is the aftermath.
