ofai: You seem not understand that in the NPC/NCNC partnership of the independence government, Balewa and his NPC did not compete with Azikiwe as regards who was appointed to positions the North was not educated to occupy. Azikiwe and his party simply had a free hand to do as they like on such matters, and they sure did as they liked. Despite the fact that even NCNC had many Yoruba Parliamentarians and party members, and the East had minority tribes under NCNC, it was largely treated as an Igbo affair when it came to sharing the spoils of the alliance with the Northern NPC. This was the awareness that Akintola created among Yorubas, that being in the opposition has ensured that the Igbos cornered everything being in alliance with an educationally disadvantaged North. When it was time to appoint a School Council Chairman, Azikiwe owned that turf and had his own party man and tribe man, Akanu Ibiam appointed, and at the same time Dike was appointed as Vice Principal to a soon departing British Principal. Do you know that after Akanu Ibiam quit the chairmanship of the UI School Council to go become governor general of Eastern Region, the next 2 successive School Council Chairman were still Igbos (Okechukwu Ikejiani, Louis Mbanefo), with an Igbo Kenneth Dike still in charge as Principal. That is how brazenly tribalist the "meritocracy" practised by Azikiwe's NCNC that had educated Yoruba politicians as members. Again, I repeat, Oladele Ajose was the most senior African on the Academic Board, which was the pool from which the Principal was to be chosen. He was the most experienced African and Nigerian on that Academic Board. He was the pioneering African Professor in the whole school and country. That made him superior to any other Nigerian professor however competent they were, be it Igbo or Yoruba, without regard to their separate disciplines for which all were the pioneering Africans in University College Ibadan. But Igbo meritocracy meant the most qualified Igbo was preferred to the most qualified and pioneering Nigerian. Was UI and Unilag an Igbo property for the NCNC dominating the federal government to have chosen the most qualified Igbo over the most qualified Nigerian, to the extent that the School Council Chairmanship at Ibadan had to embrace "Keduism" over 3 successive appointments? Yet this was a federal university, not an Igbo or Yoruba owned regional university. Let me give you the ultimate bombshell from the quoted words of Kenneth Dike, who despite having been appointed the Vice Principal, still did not feel he was the one that merited the post of Principal. Here is what the Igbo Akanu Ibiam told him when he protested his planned appointment as Principal. "Apart from you, one has to think of looking outside the country for a successor to Parry (outgoing Principal)" Those were the words of an Igbo School Council Chairman who was determined that no other Nigerian professor or Academic Board member was qualified except the Igbo Kenneth Dike who was not the most senior Nigerian or the most experienced Nigerian on the Academic Board. If not Kenneth Dike, it must be an outsider out of Nigeria. Keduism at its rawest form! Uptill after his appointment, Kenneth Dike never felt comfortable with the decision, because you cannot lie to your conscience. That is factual history, not rewritten but retold, so that the uninformed will know what the Igbos did last summer.

Throwback: Still not able to disprove my points. Just regurgitating your allegations. NCNC this, NPC that. Zik this, ibiam that. WHAT IS MERIT O.... Why facing zik when it was balewa that made appointments? Coward. None and I repeat none of your Yoruba could challenge the professional competence of the Igbo at the time. All you knew was tribalism, nepotism, and all forms of clannishness and entitlements, a typical "agbero" syndrome. "Ni ilu wa...ni adugbo wa..." Nonsense. |

BankeSmalls: Lol!!! Each time i see this nonsense, i laugh so hard Why? Cos we Yorubas are smarter than these morons called Igbos Igbos probably owned 8% of land in Lagos and you r always here beating your chests over this feat forgetting that this land still belong to Yoruba after 99years. If Yorubas decide tomorrow to make their law not to renew it, what happen to those 8% Igbos land owners? Go and check what happen to Pakistan citizens after separating from India... Don’t worry, the 8% ll be taken back from your people In 2015 election, we promised you that none of your kinsmen ll be appointed in our region anymore, you thought it was just a rant but here we are today without Igbo politician being appointed in our land unlike before We are making more laws to make you and your kinsmen to feel what you are as 5th class citizens |

ofai: I have already stated what influences NCNC had in a government of which it was a partner, and what influences Azikiwe had in that government over decisions the North did not care about. I have highlighted your nepotism and tribalism as revealed by Akanu Ibiam to ensure that only an Igbo who wasn't the most qualified Nigerian, becomes the Principal at Ibadan, else, a foreigner will be hired. I reckon Oladele Ajose was an entitled Agbero who became the first African Professor ever in Nigeria and senior to any Igbo in University of Ibadan. So as an Agbero, he had to be sidelined for the most qualified Igbo, who if he insists to not accept a position he knew he wasn't the most qualified for, no other Nigerian who were his seniors would be considered by the Igbo School Council Chairman. Did Oladele Ajose need to challenge Dike when he was already his senior on the Academic Board and pioneer African Professor in the whole school and country? And am I surprised you could not explain why successive Chairmen of the school board at UI had to be Igbos too? Maybe Louis Mbanefo being the first Igbo lawyer after scores of Yoruba lawyers over many decades prior, made him the most suitable Igbo to be chairman over any other suitable Nigerian? Keduism eventually died when you overreached yourselves. Poetic justice has got Kenneth Dike's son still lamenting that the federal university pioneered by his father in Awka after the civil war, was later named after Nnamdi Azikiwe instead of his own father. Nobody told him that even his own father was given a station he wasn't the most qualified for. |

MrNigeria2018: Thank God igbos didnt buy into your APC change nonsense. Monumental failures and chronic liars. Igbos will continue to suck the juice out of Lagos....after all they are the main developers of Lagos. You doubt me? Ask tinubu who was his state commissioner for budget and planning for almost a decade. Go to Ago, Ojo, isolo, VI, Lekki, Ladipo and check out the owners of most properties there. Go to ASPAMDA, alaba, trade fair, idumota, ladipo auto market, and see who runs the biz there. Even ojuwoye market, tejuosho-yaba market, and ikorodu market are highly saturated by Igbo biz men and women. Your federal house of assembly slot is manned by Igbos....Lol sorry eh, I understand your fear. |
