Just imagine what our so called founding fathers thought and they still went ahead with the deal. I say we didnt have heroes. We had hypocrites and we still have them till today.

But immediately Awolowo became the Finance Minister, Nigeria became to him the only indivisible nation ordained by God.
That small short man conspired with his Yoruba kinsmen and unleashed the worst looting Spree of our National Coffers.

It is all greed bro. Nothing but greed. We are still deceiving ourselves till today. Our problem is not corruption but what these men said many years ago. But unfortunately, their personal greed took over when it was time to separate. The south is completely different from the North in terms of ideology, sociology, mindset and religion, yet we say we are one.

true , the man is a big disgrace.pherhaps he was hoping Gowon will make him civillian president.

hmm.....

I have always known,and will always advised that if we cannot tolerate each other and co-exist in peace,the best will be to separate with no hard feelings or rancour.

How long can we manage dis deceit called " project Nigeria"? We can make it work if we chose that part...

why not call a national conference?

I am an optimist by default, but when it comes to the Nigerian question, my answer is that it will never work.

Nigeria is not "one", was never "one" and will never be "one".

Thanks a million times for you insight. We are busy chasing shadows! Nigeria's problem is not corruption: corruption is only a product of our differences so that instead of having patriots, we have regional, ethnic and religious gladiators.

There is nothing any of us can do about it, it does not matter what Jonathan does: whether he does the best or does the worst, some group will always hate him and some others will always love him just because of who he is and where he comes from.

Buhari is busy spreading his venom of violence, believe me, if that guy were to be an Igbo man, by now he should have been so condemned and also containted.

Now, dare to touch Buhari and you will see that he is not a "Nigerian" but a "Northerner".

Shame on the Brits.

In a country where an average voter will have to consider the ethnical and religous background of an aspirant before voting even if at all the candidate has something good to offer...... Truly there is no country here

Among his peers, Awo was the only one readily available to serve under small boys like Gowon.
