We have so many things to learn from the quality leadership of the First Republic. Military rule and the exportation of oil starting from 1967/68 mark the beginning of the decline in quality leadership. post=89770450: 5 Likes |

How does this relate to the misinformation you are trying to propagate that the Yorubas were tyrannical against the non-Yorubas in the Western Region. Seeking autonomy is part of the longing for freedom inherent in all human societies. Both the Yorubas and non-Yorubas in the Western Region understood this fact and worked to respect it by working for amicable separation according to the laws. In the Eastern Region, the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers Movement (COR) were not so fortunate and tolerated . They had to wait till 1967 when Gen Gowon created their own States for them. post=89770210: 7 Likes 2 Shares |

horsepower102: What you do not realise is any similar titled list from the Western Region will exactly mirror what you have from the Eastern region, because such positions are by default representative of the different divisions/groupings that made up that region. Hence, even those who claim Buhari is practising Fulanization, would not see such nepotism in his cabinet list, as it must reflect national inclusiveness. But that does not stop nepotism or sectionalism in the appointments to agencies and departments. So all these lists does not prove anything besides the ethnic composition of the region which is a reality. 7 Likes |

horsepower102: Stop wasting your time on Yorubas whenever you are called out by your former minority tribes that now have their independence from you for good. Any cabinet list even by a Fulanizing Buhari, would always reflect the divisional composition of that region or state. So nothing new in showing a cabinet list reflecting that minorities represented their minority zones in the larger regional government. 3 Likes |

Gabkosh: The years 1961 and 1962 moved with dizzying speed. At the Midwest regional conference of the AG, Chief Awolowo kept up his oft repeated statement that he would work for the simultaneous creation of the Midwest, COR and Middle Belt States. In the Midwest, however, his comments were regarded with skepticism, all the more so considering what was regarded as his preference for a balkanized version of the Midwest. In any case, in March 1961, the NCNC – urged by Chief Okotie-Eboh - formally opposed the exclusion of Akoko-Edo and Warri from the Midwest minority area. When Chief Awolowo was confronted with the commitment the Western regional House of Assembly had made to creation the entire Midwest back in 1955 by approving the Sowole motion, he replied that he was no longer bound by that motion because the country was under colonial rule at the time [Federal Parliamentary debates, April 4, 1961]. The comment merely served to confirm suspicions that he did not support the creation of the Midwest – under any circumstances – even though he challenged Balewa to create the Midwest before the end of May 1962. Meanwhile, back in the Midwest, the NCNC and Action Group were locking horns in increasingly aggressive confrontation between party thugs regarding the alleged misuse by the AG of customary courts and tax assessments to harass political opponents, particularly in Ishan division, where the pro-Midwestern Prince Shaka Momodu was active, but just as much elsewhere West African Pilot, August 30, 1961. In the near crisis atmosphere that this created in the Midwest, Michael Okpara and the NCNC wanted the Balewa government to declare a state of emergency in the West, but Balewa resisted the temptation, seeing as it had other problems on its hands such as the controversy over the Anglo-Nigerian defence pact and the Congo controversy. Balewa also wanted to reach out to the Action Group during this period. During this period newspaper articles written by AG loyalists appeared in which various ethnic groups of the proposed Midwest were warned of “Benin domination.” In the smear campaign, designed to derail Midwest unity, rumors were spread about how certain posts were going to be dominated by “Benin.” 7 Likes |

Igbochief001: What recognized role or which recognized constituency is giving Nnamdi Kanu the backing to ask for anything in a democracy? Was Ironsi's government or Ojukwu's military governorship of the Eastern region backed by any law? So why couldn't Adaka Boro lead his people who had already been deprived of democratic representation and voice when Parliament had already been dissolved by an illegal military government that was appointed by no one? You now see why intelligent minds like mine consider Kanu an aimless noisemaker in a era of democracy and constitutional representation. 7 Likes |

oyatz: Nonsense as usual. Present day Delta and Edo States were once in the Western region so how many of the minorities did you guys give reasonable posts? As you can see, Igbos gave minorities key portfolios which is in line with our Egbe bere, Ugo bere equity mantra. Also, check out how Igbos ensured that no part of the East, whether minority or not was not left out in terms of scorlaships as well as projects distribution even when they were not under any compulsion to do so. Now contrast that to what took place in the West where Awolowo cheated the minorities with reckless abandon. He taxed them heavily yet all his projects were in afonja land.
