Nice cordial relationship. |

Hahahaha! See how intimidated the then PM appeared conversing with the then most powerful man in the world. The gap in education really manifested here. Let's assume the PM was Zik, Ojukwu, Awo or Mbadiwe, how will the conversation have gone? |

I really don't see anything wrong in the conversation. What gave you the impression that Balewa was intimidated. |

afam4eva: Nice cordial relationship. The man did not know what to say and was just shoving along and hoping for the talk to end. |

afam4eva: I really don't see anything wrong in the conversation. What gave you the impression that Balewa was intimidated. To begin with, look at the length of each person's conversation. Which is longer? Read the transcript more than cursorily. |

Nchara: It is quite expected as president kennedy was the caller and so he had much to say. maybe it would have been different if Balewa was the one who called him. |

afam4eva: Let's assume the PM was Zik, Ojukwu, Awo or Mbadiwe, or even Jerry Gana. How will the conversation have gone? |

There would have been no difference. Balewa was equally as smart as ZIK and Ojukwu. |

afam4eva: There would have been no difference. Balewa was equally as smart as ZIK and Ojukwu. Sure? Remove the British, how smart would he have been? |

At about the 1:18-1:19 mark, Balewa was going to start saying something, but then Kennedy (who didn't think Balewa was about to say anything because of the pause after his first statement) interrupts him. Then there is a brief awkward silence. Since Balewa didn't speak up again after being unintentionally interrupted, Kennedy continues as if nothing happened. I did like this comment from Balewa though: "It was indeed a very great day for us when D1ck Tiger beat the American, Gene Fulmer." A nice response. |
