Is this the same omoluabi way of speaking that brings my father into it?

isthatso:



Were you not the one asking me to justify my culture? Is culture not something handed down by generations? In the same way you were told your father is your father, same way our cultures and stories are handed down. Next time take a hint and stop being pedantic and arrogant questioning of peoples culture or people might resort to things like that to drive the point home.

Shekau is not a thief but a cold blooded murderer. In his judgement it's better to be a murderer than being a thief and you too.

The north midwifed boko haram. Defend them, shield them, feed them and sponsor them. Jonathan sent general Ihejirika who started cutting them to size. The north started complaining. Till date no northerner has been found culpable because insurgency is their oil well.

Oh! I forgot you prefer to be a cold blooded murderer.

So politicians had disagreements and parted ways?

Amaechi Wike
Oshiomhole Obaseki
Ganduje Kwankwaso
Obasanjo Atiku
Akpabio Udom
Eh hen?
Kini big deal?
What was the politics of MKO Abiola? Adeniran Ogunsanga,TOS Benson,Richard Akinjide,AMA Akinloye ?
Was it not Akinjide that came up with the 12 2/3 argument in 1979?

I hope there is more on FFK"s father than his political choices.
Everyone cannot face the same direction
Abiola never aligned with Awolowo


Not choosing to align with Awolowo is a legitimate choice and right
Yes Awolowo was a cult figure like Buhari and in some strongholds you could not speak out against him but this is 2020
Did Fani Power do anything else?

Stillthebest:


If you read my first comment I mentioned Awolowo to be selfish. Not that care about any of them or any politician New or old. We are only refreshing history thats all.

Badonasty:
The whole world knows

0m0nnakoda:

I thought your comment about Awolowo was bizarre that was why I ignored it I am sure it makes plenty of sense to you
What Gov seat did Awolowo leave?

So that you blast Awolowo makes it OK to blast the other guy? Is it quota system?

bhella10:
I would have thought his kinsmen from land of the rising sun would stick their neck out for him as usual. They're just going to let him run over ni?

Stillthebest:


Blast? Be civil with words Pls. Saying someone was selfish at a point wasn't a blast! The reason being that, he left a western premier seat to contest the presidency, which i would say "thinking if he lost he would come back to his previous position", - but some said there was an agreement between Akintola and Baba Awo to that effect which Chief Ladoke breached and upon losing, at the Fed level.

He came back to continue his regional leadership, but Ladoke whom he had left to saddle the western regional leadership as his deputy had refused to exit the seat(main cause of their brawls)

Isnt that selfishness? I don't abuse leaders I only say things I know about them in a civil way that I can.

NB* Awo wasn't a Gov but a western premier.

isthatso:


The problem between Akintola and Awo is deeper than that but actually quite simple. The real problem was Awo wanted and alliance with the east and Akintola and his group wanted an alliance with the North. Awo did not trust the North and Akintola and his group did not trust the east. Zik would have been the 1st premier of the western region and many attribute this to Awo backstabbing Zik but there was already mistrust of Zik's agenda based on comments he had made in the late 1940s where he spoke about the god of the Ibos giving them power over Nigeria and Africa, Earlier around the same period respected Ibo judge at the time (his name eludes me) had also spoken about the Ibos conquering Africa . That is where the mistrust of the Akintola group in the SW and the North for the Ibos started, I'm sure you have seen the Sardauna video on Ibos on youtube.

Awo proved to be wrong on that count but that is where the division in the SW between the Awo camp and the Akintola, Akinjide, Akinloye camp that eventually metarmorphosed into NPN started. It was a question of alliance, with the Ibos or with the North. If you examine the politics of SW Nigeria you will find that the Akintola group were always the one in alliance with the North and the so called Awo group became isolated until Tinubu came along and lines were blurred. Truth is there are some hard core Awoists, AKA Afenifere, that refused to go along with Tinubu into ACN, people like Adebanjo. These people have always had an inherent distrust for the North.

Those statements by Zik dating back to 1947 or thereabouts is why i often say in my posts that Ibo will never be president of Nigeria, this thing did not start today. People do not know their history.

Sorry the idigbo here is it true ffk was sleeping with the most power man of igbo land wife of Odumegwu-Ojukwu?just a question that need ans.

isthatso:


That was a 1st hand account direct from a man who was a key player in the activities at the time as I remember it. He said Awo was a brilliant man politically naive and that you need to win elections to implement your ideas and Awo did not know how to win elections outside Yoruba land.

0m0nnakoda:

There are many many more alternative first hand accounts
Fact!

BreconHills:


Hubris strikes again.


FFK father betrayed Awolowo and the Western region pre the 1966 crisis. He and Akintola prevented Awolowo from forming the national government and by implication handed over the country to the north. In fact, the first coup might never have happened but for this event. It now sounds incredible to hear him representing the interests of the same region his father betrayed. But when you look closely you see that nothing has changed. I wrote some time ago that ffk had a golden opportunity to rewrite history but weak character caused him to throw it away.

I know there are many on NL who judge people by what they feel they personally lack and desire. Good luck to you if you are in this character. In my opinion, even if your father was a lowly carpenter or mechanic and he worked honestly to bring bread to his family's table - he is a hero worthy of emulation and respect. Stop worshipping disreputable social media characters and by implication tossing your parents honest efforts into the dustbin.

Modified for clarity.

So what?

isthatso:


it establishes evidential basis for mistrust of the Ibo agenda and why some did/still do not trust the ibos with power.

BreconHills:


They never had any true connection to him.

For instance he doesnt work, he doesnt run a business. So how can they relate this to their work ethic focus etc?Igbos love maverick and people who appear to show courage but they also believe in hard work and accomplishment. Ffk has none of that. He didn't have it in school, he doesnt have it now. It was simply a marriage of convenience built around hating one man.
