Which of your stup!d Ojukwu released Awolowo from prison? Ibo and lies, very synonymous!
Only an ibo man would say Ojukwu released Awolowo from prison when Gowon did! Pray tell what power do Ojukwu have top release a federal prisoner that immediately became Gowon Finance minister as soon as he was released! Ibo and dullness! Smh, too much akpu!
How do you defend Zik forming ally with the North (balewa) precisely to subjugate their fellow southern in the 60's? How about the Ekwueme and Shagari ally in 80's? Or ibos and Tofa's ally in the 90's over their fellow southern?
The joke is on you ibo losers!

Any region which does not cooperate with Yoruba people does so at its own peril. I have not seen any region that does not want to associate with Yoruba. They might be afraid that we are strong and powerful, they still want to associate with us.

I find this sentence annoying and lame
Better to have a known enemy than a backstabbing two faced 'friend'

Awolowo was released from Calabar prison by
Biafran leader Odumegwu Ojukwu and there
was an agreement that while Ojukwu declares
Biafra in the East, Awolowo would declare
Oduduwa Republic in the West. The British
establishment, sensing the dangers of
Awolowo declaring Oduduwa Republic in the
West, convinced Gowon and the north to
checkmate Awolowo’s secessionist agenda by
appointing him the Vice Chairman of Federal
Executive Council. This strategy worked
effectively and Awolowo was deceived that
after Gowon’s tenure he would be given the
opportunity of ruling Nigeria. Awolowo thus
had to checkmate the Biafran dream to clear
any obstacle to his ruling Nigeria while the
north was looking for the right opportunity to
throw him into the dustbin. In frustration,
Awo resigned from Gowon’s cabinet when he
realized he has been politically duped.

Though, the released of awolowo happened in august 1966 when the ojukwu and gowon re still trying to put a stop at their loggerheads.
Maybe one way or the other, gowon may be the one that released awolowo or ojukwu may have decided to discussed on awolowo released on the other hand to make secession more easier for east, west and north.

In which ever way , nobody knows the truth cos there is a picture from no way portraying gowon released awolowo..

I laff in 3D. According to gowon, he said the reasons why he released awolowo was because there was political unrest in the west. and yoruba believe so cos don't want to hear that an igbo man released awolowo from calabar prison


I still dey laff in 3D

Anyway make una kukuma take the tori as una hear am from una slave masters..

The problem of the black man is his mind set.

I don't want to say the Nigerian youths don't think.

Here we are talking about awolowo, ojukwu, zik and co that have played there role and have long gone. we continue to dwell in the past that doesn't help in anyway.

What has any youth here achieved by being Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa. Has your belonging to any tribe giving you steady power and infrastructures, has it been able to manage the economy, has it been able to give u security and create jobs.

Most of u insulting tribes what has your tribe done for u..some of you are unemployed, some have had relatives and friends die from poor health facilities, some have been robbed in there houses, some no light or road in there area. Going down to the villages of some people posting here you will notice the village is so backward and undeveloped...

You say your tribe your tribe...but your same tribal leaders send there kids abroad, vacation abroad and treat themselves abroad and live u to rot away with poor educational standards and bad infrastructure.

You talk tribe and same leaders from all the various tribes wrecked the country and made it into this appalling state.

Your tribe will do nothing for U...when will the youths be reasonable..as if your leaders from ur tribe cared about you as they looted...FOOLISH youths rather than fight yourselves fight your leaders.

The more reason the south east will never rule Nigeria. They cant allied

HopeAtHand:


Yorubas have benefited most from Nigeria.

Firstly, From 1967 when the war began and every other region was at war, the yorubas were at school. A yorubaman named Awolowo systematically ensured the war would leave a lasting destruction in the other regions using starvation policy.


Secondly Lagos, which is yorubaland was built with massive infrastructures as the former capital of the Nigeria. The enviable position of lagos isnt becos of the hardwork of yorubas but from the oil revenue from other regions.


The politically and economically motivated decisions that make Lagos the destinarion of choice in Nigeria using the Lagos seaport and airport as the drivers. Also the siting of federal ministries and parastatals in Lagos( when the parastatal isnt sited in Abuja).

The foreign embassies and missions scattered allover lagos... the IOCs which have been coerced into relocating to Lagos. The Lagos media which ensures other regions are depicted as unsafe for business... etc :-/

Very true. Easterners are very aggressive and unpredictable. Plus, the Yorubas have no choice. The east will never trust them again after what happened during the civil war.

The truth is that apart from the religious intolerance of the hausa-fulani, they are the best allies anyone can have.
Very simple and straightforward people, their words are usually their bonds. They hardly betray your trust and not given to vain blabbing and treachery.
Even when they head any business or institution, their simplicity and generosity reflect downward, that is why i prefer them in leadership positions if they are qualified.

Saladin25:
As for me. The Northerners are the best to associate with. I will always pick them ahead of any ethnic/tribe in Nigeria. Look at the leaders that performed well during their time, most of them are from the North. Even our own sonn OBJ never contributed to southwest, his administration was corrupt like Jonathan. The senator made some valid point. If you like abuse him, he just said the truth.

In the last election, the vote from the southwest helped PMB to win GEJ in the presidential election despite the rigging from SS and some part of SE.

As for the Biafran people, if you want to be the leader of this great nation, you need to stop hating Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani people because your population is not up to them and stop supporting people that are corrupt just because they are from your region.

cybernaut:


why i don't do much argue wit myoptic pple is no southwest is better dan anambra expect lagos?pls 4get sentiment.most sea port at ph,warri and calabar pls are dia working expect lagos sea port due 2 premature politics.

LOL! Is that a reputable source?

What power does your hero ojukwu has to released awolowo ? !

That's where you get it wrong. An average northerner is bad manager; most of the institutions they headed were run down.

PtitLapin:
It is funny and sad to see people pick sides based on ethnicity and at the same chant One Nigeria. You can't eat your cake and have it. It is either you treat every Nigerian as equal or you don't. Reading this article and indeed the comments section is evidence that Nigeria is not one. We can't be one if we continue dividing ourselves based on ethnicity, religion, etc.

I wish it was possible for all Nigerians to see the significance of Nigeria in this world. We have the highest population of black people in the world. We would be such a force to reckon with in this world, if only we can let go of deeply rooted biases, blind religion, ethnic discrimination and oppression of many by a few. I love Nigeria but I fear that One Nigeria might not be attainable. We lack the cohesion and coordination to achieve One Nigeria. A lot of people hoped Buhari would be the leader whose character would give Nigeria cohesion. However, Nigeria is even more divided now on party lines, religious lines, ethnic lines, regional lines... the list goes on.

We need cohesion!!! If as a President, you cannot love every Nigerian equally, then you cannot bring the change we need. If as a leader, you cannot treat all religions, regions, peoples, etc. as equal, you cannot hope for or claim One Nigeria. This is the reason why nothing has changed. Our leaders and our people have not changed so why should anything change?

Question 2, ojukwu has the power cos he had already declared the new nation a republic of biaf away from nigeria. biafrans soldier already occupied the present day south south as at then. Remember, a calabar man was the 2nd in command. Philip effiong .
