He was a tribalist and he educated Igbos ?

He was a tribalist and told Ojukwu to discuss before secessing ?

WHY DID OJUWKU DESCRIBE AWOLOWO AS THE PRESIDENT WE NEVER HAD.

Okujwu was not honest with you all, or maybe he was honest but he knew how stu.pid some of u are

The Igbos should regret because they wanted to out-smart the South-South. Let this be bygone. We need to plan the future please. Did you realize that Azikiwe gave the fictitious population to the North? Did you realize that Azikiwe gave dud cheque for 12 pounds to the Yoruba man asking him to step down for him(Zik) to contest for the western house? After the man had accepted and explained to his people expaining to them that he would use the money which was an equivalent of the allowance of a house of Reps then, Our Zik went around and stopped the cheque at the bank and the yoruba man went and was disappointed. He could save his face from his kinsmen.Hence, the disgrace at the Western House of Assembly.
Did you realize the atrocities committed by Igbos even in the community where Phillip Effiong, Ojukwu's deputy is from. Let me tell you that the entire community was marched into a Church and set ablaze.
Did you realize that Phillip Effiong was made a figure head while very junior Igbo officers were running the operations and were the insiders? The Igbos used the war and other opportunities as an opprtunity to conquer and expand Igbo territory for domination. I hope the new Igbo will not be the same. Grief for the actions of your past leaders

look man,all these talk is irrelevant if you want believe what you want to believe,but respect our ojukwu cus this thing will cus a big problem for your people,none of your leaders ever care for his people as ojukwu did for his own people,i have warned you again don't blame anybody if your people get diss and all that,your people started killing igbos and sending their body parts down to east by train have you lot forgetting that already?i warn you again stay away this fight is bigger than you.No body in Nigeria can take the heat better avoid it now,

I put Awo, Zik and Balewa on the same level. What Awo did is what Zik and Balewa would do. I am Igbo and i don't think that Awo betrayed  us. This three men would never support a divided Nigeria. Some people say that Zik betrayed his people which is not true. What Zik did is what Balewa and Awo would do. Forget about those noise Awo made. That is what they are, noise. The truth is that Awo being the nationalist he is, would never breakout.

I would give Ojukwu his DUE respect and also because Igbos respect him thus I have no reason to disrespect him. YOU ALSO SHOULD GIVE AWOLOWO HIS DUE RESPECT

RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL.

If you don't give the leader I admire respect how do you expect me to give the leader you respect respect ? How

alj harem:

can you imagine, some ideeiot comparing this man to awolowo

very annoying, When you ask them what he achieved nothing

He killed over 3 million of his own people.isnt that an achievement ?

I have no problem with Ojukwu par-say

I have a problem with ZIK, the man according to history forced the NORTH AND THE SOUTH INTO NIGERIA. after the forceful marriage because he held the power back then, the south was then divided into west and east

You have to understand my anger here when people talk bad of awolowo when history says another.

[size=16pt]these men called al harem and Bluetooth do not read and comment on anything on NL unless it is tagged Igbo. Are they below 18years old cos they act so childish ?
If you study human psychology , u realize that when someone is irrelevant to you, you don't even remember him, cos he is not worth the stress, lest spending time to criticize a non entity. But when someone is really exclusive and superior in attribute, you tend to talk about him or find out his error. These two men and others have inferiority complex problems or they are immature.
I leave in Sweden and I noticed that when u are relevant, ur boss corrects ur mistakes, criticizes ur work. But when u get silence from a Swede no matter what u do, then u are soooo irrelevant. This works across tribes and races. so please ALL Igbos on NL should not respond to all the nonentities who feel inferior to Igbos and express themselves only by castigating and criticizing Igbos. Please there are more than 200 tribes in Naija. Why Igbo ?
they more u want to know or talk about Igbos, they more the level of insecurity feeling and inferiority compounds[/size]

Only-Rebel:

^^ His uncle declared a war on propaganda without intelligence. Only possible with Igbos, cowards. Ever funny race.

See kettle calling the pot black,
You can't even use ur original username. You hide behind a new username cos you're too afraid.
*spits* you need to be thrown into a dungeon for being such a coward.
Btw, we're an ethnic group not a race. Otondo!

Let me remind you that Igbos use to run things back then and yoruba were at the background.

This envy is unbecoming. [/size]

First of all, to correct your one-track mind, we're not in envy of anyone at least, not the yorubas.
For christ sakes, It's like saying that Americans are envy of Nigerians! It's a shitty thing to say.

Only-Rebel:

I protest, Ojukwu should be burried in Abidjan.

Thats all you guys do. Protest and dance while others think about their future. The minute you see the butt of a rifle, you take to your heels.

I am not surprise u are a tomb robber bluetooth. I bet ur ancestors must have been robbing the tombs of nobles for generations. That is why u always sound like a iiberated osu. Once osu is always osu.

Rest in peace the Great Ikemba, even at death, your name still scares so many. Rest in peace Peoples' General, the happenings in Nigeria today have vindicated you. Jee nke oma Nna anyi

Brother please do not Put Zik of Africa and Awo of Ibadan on the same sentence again. Zik was speaker of the House of Asembly, Governor general and President, While Awo was an ex-convict and a treacherous politician who ended up taking his own life, so please they are not on the same level. Zik is at the level of Mandela, Jomo Kenyatta, Juliuos Nyerere and other Pan-Afrinacists, he was never a regional politician

[size=14pt]Foreign News: SIX LEADERS OF BLACK AFRICA
Monday, Feb. 16, 1959

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 49, of the powerful Yoruba tribe, dedicated, teetotaling Prime Minister of the Western Region of Nigeria who began as a barrister, has gradually emerged as a statesman of integrity in a land where charges of corruption are the political order of the day. His fellow Prime Minister to the more populous but primitive north, the Sardauna of Sokoto, is a haughty Moslem nobleman out of another century. Nigeria's other regional Prime Minister, the demagogic, U.S.-educated Nnamdi ["Zik"] Azikiwe of the Ibo tribe to the east, lives under a cloud as a result of a financial scandal in his administration. So rent by divisions (250 tribes speaking 400 languages), Nigeria has a compromise federal Prime Minister, Abubakar Balewa, a northerner. "To many of us," says Awolowo, "Britain is our second home. We have thrown no stones, fired no shot, and we have not shed a drop of British blood. We are attaining independence by peaceful, orderly and democratic methods."

educate yourself more

I am yet to see anyone IN AFRICA and indeed parts of asia and europe beat this record


Chief Obafemi Awolowo achieved a number of firsts as more evidence of his true leadership qualities as head of Government of Western region. This includes:

1.
Free Primary Education introduced
2.
The First free medical service to children below the age of 18 years
3.
The first stadium of international standard called Liberty Stadium
4.
The first Television Station network in Africa
5.
The first pilgrim Welfare Board
6.
The first modern housing Estate located in Bodija and Ikeja
7.
The first introduced minimum wage for workers which was also the highest

He was not even the president or prime minister but could achieve such heights

the president back then Nnamdi was so filled with envy, he lock awolowo up it for his case to be the issue of "the man who kept throwing stones at the market for he did not know when the stone would hit his family"

No be only Zik of africa, it is Zik of the world. Funny clowns

@ Cantell, How on earth you unearthed I'm a Yoruba..

Lol. Enough damage control on this thread  Ojukwu (R.I.P.) truly is an enigma, alive or dead, just look at the panic mode some of these inferiors are in. Nawao.

if you noticed I did not quote the rubbish u wrote previously as I did not want to make things worse that it already is

If you want to involve me in this then this thread would go down a dark path.

Just saying, don't compare people that never achieved anything in Nigeria to those that did.

thanks

Oh! I'm shaking! You're a big foool.
Why this silly obsession about Igbos? Why can't you give it a rest for once?
Ojukwu did this, Zik did that. Have you or any member of your family got to the height where
this men attained in their lifetime?
You know the history of Igbos like the back of your hand. What kind of obsession is that?
In one thread a guy was complaining about what Igbos did to his nephew(don't know if it's true) and somehow, i understand his pain. Not that i support his bashing, but sometimes it's good to let people vent their anger.
But in your case, you just do it out of sheer hatred. Stop hating, you can never change anything.
If there's anyone who envies the Igbos most in Nl, you're the one.

Maybe it your brothers obession with anything awolowo, yoruba and hausa that made alj haram

tell them to stop and I would stop.

If I show some respect to Igbos on Nairaland then maybe they can show an equal respect to me back.

You cannot be insulting others and expect others to be quite. No sir it does not happen that way. This is not any Igbo forum but a Nigerian forum. If you want Igbos or you to be respected, then you show others respect.

Ok!!!!

and as for you america nigeria anology, It is a very good way to describe yorubas and igbos

americans don't run to nigeria but Nigerians do. that says a lot

maybe you think next time you post.

Yes I repeat it, Igbos on Nairaland and some of their politicans are envious of the yorubas.

lol @ obsession with awolowo and yorubas  . I wonder since when Igbos started paying attention to people who couldn't achieve much and thus decided to end it all by committing  suicide. I believe most Igbos have more important things to engage their time in, like setting the pace and watching others follow from the distance. Envy is a ridiculous thing indeed.
