GhanaMustGoo:Telling a chameleon tribalist like Azikiwe to leave Yorubas alone was the best thing Awolowo and the wise Yorubas at that time did.Imagine a person..Azikiwe..who filled the vacant 100 plus positions in Yorubaland with 94 Igbos becoming the premier of Yorubaland.I am sure Yorubas of later years would not forgive Awolowo and his colleagues if they had allowed the chameleon to take Yorubaland backward like Igboland.All juicy positions would have been given to Ojukus like him who are bereft of great and honest ideas in making giant strides like the ones Awolowo made.We love how our forefathers discabled his evil plan for Yorubaland.Unongo was an NCNC man..so you want him to blame Azikiwe,the tribalist?Thank you Awolowo for giving chameleon Azikiwe,the opportunity to go and turn Igboland to eldorado.Ndiara. 2 Likes |

VillageWinch:sorry about your grandpa,but have you asked some salient questions from your folks? 1st where did grandpa stayed before the war,in the west,north or in the east? With this you are a step closer to the truth,now yes 90% of people all over the world losses their fortune in the time of war,except the undertaker and the gunsmiths, that said,the war didn't happen immediately most people of Eastern origin withdrew their "" Nigerian pounds "converted it into biafran currency,its not possible that they will leave their money in Nigerian banks and head east,there is no records of the banks refusing to pay anyone before the war the problem was that records of depositors were lost in the east due to destruction of the banks,everyone that had money in other regions banks got their full money back after the war.e.g Azikwe,Achebe,Nwabueze. 1 Like |

Nigeria's Politics started from the "ROOF TOP". Awo, an Economist and a Lawyer had the INSIGHT to introduce "GRASSROOT" Politics. |

masseratti: A lot of them..that is the educated few..who put their money in the banks withdrew their money which is normal but at the end of the war everybody was magnanimously given 20 pounds... 12000 naira...and everyone that had money in other banks got their money back after the war,people like Azikwe,Ojukwu etc.What better way should the government have taken if I may ask my Biafla people..after the same Biafrans have stolen all the money in Benin central bank.. 1 Like |

Empower the 36 States to take charge of Sourcing and Applying their Earnings and just contributing to run F.G. This is Grassroot Politics not Roof top. Awolowo was an Apostle of Christ and a Prophet of God for Grassroot Politics. |

masseratti: Thanks for not being a rude ahole like some of these people. I read Achebe said he couldn't get money he left in bank. But the point is, no matter how many millions you had in Biaftan money they gave u 20 pounds. That seems unfair. |

Uglyojuku: Some people had millions in Biafran money, some people even had plenty old Nigerian currency They were all given 20 despite that Nigeria was swimming in oil money. Seems unfair. |
Re: Nigeria’s Problems Started With Awo’s Introduction Of Tribal Politics — Unongo by masseratti: 8:38pm On Oct 18, 2017 |
VillageWinch:the question is where was the bank located, don't forget on that time everything was in black and white nothing was digital, if Achebe's money was in a Nigerian bank located in the east ,same bank that was burnt down by the biafran army and looted, which is a normal thing in war,where do u think the bank,which as at that time was owned by private entities will pay him without records, if he claims he has a million in accounts how would the bank verify? Point is all others that had money in banks that were in the west and North got that money back because there were records, the 20pounds story is a political gimmick used to paint Yoruba/Awo bad and that my friend is what is unfair. |

Uglyojuku: My friend, here are things we know for a fact (every other thing is lies, conjectures, twisted truth, innuendos): 1)Awo was thinking tribe right from UK (started Egbe Omo Oduduwa) 2) If Zik were thinking like Awo he would have started "Nzuko Umu Ndiigbo". 3) But the last thing on Zik's mind was Igbo. He started his revolutionary activities in US focused on Africa and black people, not Igbo. 4) Zik started a newspaper in Ghana with which he helped fight for Ghana's independence: WEST AFRICAN Pilot. He later brought it to Nigeria. 5) Awo started a paper a decade later focused on Ibadan called Tribune 6) Zik was born in Zungeru, was based in the West and spoke all major Nigerian Languages. 7) Awo was born in Yoruba land, based in Yoruba land and only spoke Yoruba (besides English) HOW DARE YOU COMPARE THESE TWO PEOPLE?? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!! |

9jaDoc: So Nigerian government has the obligation to change Biafran currency and what will be the basis? Was the goverment privy to it's issuance? What will Nigeria do with the biafra currency? You get £20 in exchange for worthless paper and come here to complain. Some one guy will just print millions of paper and come collect Nigerian currency? Did Nigerians who didn't rebel also get that £20 free windfall? You people are selfish and completely insatiable 2 Likes |

9jaDoc: hearing from one side when my friends mother told us what happened that night in the casino. She lived across the road in Yaba and wasn't allowed to go due to some domestic chores and saw the smoke column from the cinema and later visited the site. This is consistent with newspaper reports of the period. Yet you talk of one side? Very wicked and insensitive 2 Likes |

9jaDoc: Yet he wanted to be premier of western region, and became bitter when he lost out and was only placated whenever he was given premiership of the East. Pan-African indeed, why didn't he bid to be Ghana first president since you claimed he got them their independence? He had enough common sense not to try that. Yet he did not initially install TOS Benson or Ogunsanya Yoruba leaders in NCNC as premier in the east. He choose a native of the East. So there was no indegene good enough in his party to be premier? Thank God it never happened, I can imagine what Easterner will be saying today 3 Likes 1 Share |

9jaDoc: Very lame and pathetic attempt at revision. Some just told the world that he's in support of his tribe dominating the rest of the country and not cooperating with them which may include taking their land and jobs and you still label him detribalised, father of all, panafrcan, and other high sounding pseudonym. You give him the right to say that in a multi ethnic country but say a man from another tribe 2years after your panafrcan, cannot rally his tribe to vote against, not attack, this fellow from dominating them. This is a sickness taken too far Substitute what Zik said to ibos with Sardauna saying same thing about fulani to an arewa gathering and tell us you agree with him as a Nationalist. Am sure you join to condemn Sardauna for saying they intend to dominate the south by dipping Koran in the sea, bunch of hypocrites 2 Likes |
