The way you guys peddle falsehood here and comfortably sleep at night still beats my imaginations. There is a difference between speaking the fact from saying what you know or feel, and in a large forum like NL you should know not everyone is dumb where you can bring in watery claims without any factual analysis and expect people to believe you.

Firstly, Herbert Macaulay never handed any power to anyone, Zik who was his vice took over power from him as was expected in 1947 or so after his death. Again Awo was never a member of NCNC, so I don't know we're you got that from.

Cry and wail any how you want you can't distort history and a well known fact that Awolowo brought in tribal politics into Nigeria.

bounty007:



willing slavery is borne out of inferiority complex.

thats all.. all talks of sophistication and trashy trash above is cos your comfortable with your masters..

slave don't complain or react.. everything to them is in good faith.

Revisionists history again.

There was never a time in history when Igbos were more educated than Yorubas. That was why we scored most of the firsts in social, economic and political achievements at the time and even now.

7lives:


Look who's talking now, between THOSE WHO HAVE WILLINGLY SERVED AS SLAVES FOR 54 YEARS and those WHO were persuaded way back in 2011 and only recently decided to WORK with the NORTH, WHO ARE THE SLAVES?.
I NEVER knew you guys LOVED that SUBSERVIENT POSITION SO MUCH, until of recent.

rlauncher:


What do you know. The lies they told you at home to infect you with hate for Yoruba people, just the same way Ojukwu kept lying to the Igbos that Ibadan had been captured by the Biafrian forces when he was actually preparing to flee the country.

Most of what you people have been taught about us are pure lies. They were meant to keep hatred in your hearts against us because of the outcome of the civil war.

igbodefender:


You are talking of the cross carpeting. Why didn't Awolowo just let the parties alone after the election?! Awolowo usurped the mandate of the Yoruba people by breaking Zik's coalition.

Yoruba that voted for Zik's list were not fools. They knew they could easily vote him out him if he tried any nonsense.

InyinyaAgbaOku:



That's where you failed it.
Igbos dominated all sectors then.

Now, Igbos still lead in education.

Marcelo290:
It's not about what I was told, but what I factually discern to be the truth after a thorough study of history. I'm not among those who carry falsehood around out of emotions and sentiments.

Be like me, it would help you make neutral judgements without tribal affiliations.

rlauncher:


You people thought we are slaves because you consider yourselves as one. Afterall, you are the ones who calls Nigeria a zoo, and you people one of the animals in it.

rlauncher:


Igbos don't lead in education. Most Yoruba people of my generation are sending their children off abroad to study in world class Universities.That is what JAMB statistics don't tell you.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Igbos dominate that scene even more.

bounty007:


God really had time to distribute stupidly and foolishness among you people.

see why God created you people slaves" for life slaves without option of redemption.

explain why Oduduwa was kicked out..and fell from the sky.. only to slave forever.

rlauncher:


He had been trying nonsense secretly. We found out before it was too late.

igbodefender:


Lol. Which nonsense? The nonsense no get name? For instance, when Awolowo was arrested for arrested and prosecuted 1962 he was prosecuted for coup plotting. What was Zik's crime?

rlauncher:


Awolowo was framed-up. Everyone knows about that.

T9ksy:



Yes o! Awo and his civilian colleagues in the AG were arrested for coup plotting by the coalition of the NPC and the NCNC govt.

igbodefender:


Awo is the best President Nigeria never had. But for this your assertion, kindly provide proof.

manuelzz:
What is even wrong with you lots? A northerner said something about your tribesman, all you dumbos can come up with is to blame Azikiwe?

What sort of cowardice and hopelessness is this?



Tufiakwa!!

Why didn't you people keep your distance away from the write-up.

During Awolowo's trial the trial judge said, " my hands are tied ", meaning that the powers that be wants him jailed at all cost. Don't you remember that. Of course you won't since all you've been taught are revisionists history.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

igbodefender:


Don't jump to conclusions. Were you in the judge's mind?

What if the judge meant, "My hands are tied", as in, "No matter how how highly I esteem you, justice must take its course?"

You were not there, and the judge did not clarify his statement to you. So, stop trying to put your own spin on history. Seek truth instead. Yorubas were not fools to vote for Zik. Neither you nor I forced them to do so.

Ngozi123:
People are agreeing with the op without actually asking him which "strategic positions" Zik was alleged to have filled with Igbos.

rlauncher do go on, we are waiting...
