cheesy Even their god awolowo wasn't spared...
Point of correction. Awolowo is not Yoruba god, Yoruba serve the only living God. Yorubas are not igbo that serve kanu. Your new found god. Get that into your nsala poo head.

stonemasonn:
Awolowo was VP and he enriched only the Yoruba??

I know all these is just jealousy as the yorubas have been lurking around power since 1999.

Lets go back to the status quo where Hausa is president, Igbo is vice and Yoruba in opposition so we can rest from all these wahala of boko-haram today, ipob tomorrow.....

Mtcheeeew

are you giving in to the loooonatics already

Come on, dont be a coward!

Yorubas own Nigeria!!

Anyone not pleased should go and die!!!

Unfortunately it is the truth. I watched the program on AIT. Mantu actually said it when he was trying to prove to Ohiria( hope I got it right), that alliance with any of the big tribe has not yielded much dividend for the middle belt. He sighted that as an example. So it's not only Igbos that have accused Awolowo of tribalism during the indigenization process. It's just that we are the proverbial bad goat whose cry make the lazy owner to feed all the other hungry but 'good'goats in his goat pen.

Plz comment on the message and leave the messenger alone. Prove him wrong or you shut up forever. Other tribes have being shouting it since that Pa Awo though been a great man robbed others to enrich his people, and you people don't want to acknowledge this and say sorry so that peace can reign. Don't you know that accepting your mistake and saying we are sorry can make the victims forgive and possibly forget. This is the bane of war between the Igbos and the Yorubas both on and offline. The truth of the matter is that Pa Awo intentionally with his position victimize the Igbos by given Igbos his famous £20 while at the same time approving of indigenization of all companies in Nigeria. Now here comes middle belt accusing him of the same thing, meaning that he robbed everybody not only ibos for the sake of his people. Instead of running from pillar to pole defending what is not defendable and insulting messengers up and down, yorubas should in their infinite wisdom accept Pa Awo's mistake (tribalism) and say sorry on his behalf. I believe with this most of this our rift, mistrust, accusation and counter accusation will cease by half if not all.


There is a proverb that says in a market place where there are elders, you won't expect a nursing mother passing with the baby improperly placed on the back.
Ibrahim Mantu was not entirely a small boy in the 1970's not to know what actually happened as regards the the indigenization policy, so we can safely place this statement from him if true, in the place of mischief. Chief Obafemi Awolowo resigned from the Gowon government in June 1971 while the Indigenization decree was not proclaimed until 1972

Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s Resignation Letter from the Federal Executive Council, Dated June 13, 1971, and Addressed to General Yakubu Gowon
http://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2016/11/08/crucial-resignations-by-eric-teniola/

Even then most of the banks and other companies where not made to sell 60% of their shares until 1976, this is as reported by New York time in 1976:

As spelled out in a white paper issued by the Government in July and soon to be legislated in a military decree, the indigenization is a radical extension of an effort started in 1972 under the more westward‐looking regime of Gen. Yakuba Gowon.

That effort largely failed, according to a report by an industrial enterprises board set up last November by the more nationalistic military regime that ousted General Gowon in July. The mandate of the board was to examine the progress of indigenization.

The original indigenization decree set down two categories of foreign businesses for Nigerian participation. One category, reserved exclusively for Nigerians, contained 22 types of enterprises, ranging from assembling radios to hairdressing, candle‐making, bread‐baking and tire‐retreading. The second category contained 33 businesses and they were to be 40 percent Nigerian owned. Among them were department stores, real estate agencys, shipping and numerous manufacturing industries. Many businesses, especially those requiring foreign expertise, were not included in either category.

According to the board's report, 950 businesses fell under the decree, and only one third of them had fully complied by June 1975, more than one year after the deadline date. The companies evaded the decree with applications for naturalization, exemptions granted on ‐flimsy grounds” and, most of all, the technique known as “fronting,” whereby Nigerians “front” for foreign owners.

http://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/30/archives/nigerias-indigenization-policy-under-fire.html?mcubz=1&_r=0

Many Nigerian investors in the mid 1970's including many Easterners, Northerners including the Dantata's, Dangote benefited from this policy by not having to compete with Americans, Europeans, Lebanese and Indians in the above listed businesses reserved for only Nigerians. Some even made their money by simply fronting for foreigners without putting any money down.

Why make it look like the policy it happened just a few months after the civil war, or like Awolowo personally supervised implementation of the policy? Why use lies and falsehood to advance hatred of a man who died 30 years ago? The same people who bandy this story about will never say the same Awolowo saved the allocations due to the state under rebellion and handed it over after the surrender of rebel forces.

With all the lies Awolowo in death continues to soar in stature while the peddlers though still living continue to reduce in reckoning

You r right you watched the program.I wonder why some people r blaming Ipob over Mantu's statement that Awo as VP enriched his Yoruba people.
Must everything be Ipob?Pls face Mantu and his people whom Awo defrauded and made poor.

You mean the Igbo chest beating tribe was so incapacitated it can only watch helplessly as Awo took all your money and investment only to give you 20 pounds ? If that is the case God should punish each an every Igbo that lost a dime through the action of Awo for not being able to defend their asset. May amadioha destroy such a being n you too for not being able to fight for your kinsmen to regain their wealth stolen by Awo.

Did the atiku slave,mantu bring any evidence to prove hs assertions?..the same way the flat heads believes it was Awolowo that dealt with them in the civil war without genuine evidences.
