T8ksy: Haha! You are just mad that Azikiwe unlike Ojukwu refused to fall for Awo's treachery and deception. Awo came to Enugu to deceive Zik that he(Awo) hated the north and wanted an alliance with the East, where as Awo was eager for an alliance with the North, and had already set Akintola to the North to see to that. His mission to Enugu was only to delay Zik long enough for Akintola to seal the deal with the north, and for him(Awo) to find a flimsy excuse as to why he couldn't form an alliance with the East. Zik saw his treachery and nipped it on the bud. Awo the fox,would later play the same game against Ojukwu, Ojukwu being a young man, inexperienced in the evil ways of men fell for Awo's treachery hook,line and sinker, the rest they say is history 3 Likes 1 Share |

T8ksy: This topic had been trashed on NL many times. There was never a time Zik had to powers to prevent the addition of secession clause in the constitution. Zik never killed for one Nigeria. But your treacherous, power hungry, covetious and greedy Awo, was the one promoting starvation of innocent masses just to share in the plunder of the Eastern resources, your foolish Awo became second in command to Gowon, having failed to be the second in command to Balewa,no thanks to Zik nipping his (Awo) treachery from the bud. Out of greed,Awo became a one Nigerian fanatic, and even killed for it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

T8ksy: Lol! Zik beat Akintola to the Northern alliance race, and Awo became reduced to an opposition. Akintola in a typical Yoruba treacherous way was not happy to play opposition as his Oga at the top, Awo, he pushed on with his earlier failed mission( Alliance with the north) and sought to topple his Oga, who by then had become so power hungry that even treason was not above him. The old fox, was being outwitted by a younger fox in his treachery game, and the Western region went ablaze with violence. Here was my earlier submission. Akintola subsequent visits to the north was in order to form alliance with the North. Which was anti AG. I had made this clear before You were simply quoting me out of context. T9ksy: T8ksy: Lol!

T8ksy: Awo was never interested with alliance with the East. He sent his vice Akintola to the North at the same time he(Awo) was in Enugu with Zik. It was similar to the game he played with Ojukwu. Awo willingly and happily accepted Gowon's alliance, his visit to Ojukwu was a mirror image of his visit to Zik. A diversion and time bidding visit, with aim to find a flimsy excuse for his already decided alliance with the North. 1 Like |

^^^^ You impish being with morals of an alley cat. Awo never sent Akintola to the sardunna rather the latter with Ayo Rosoji went to the the north of their own free accord as they felt the yorubas being in the opposition is detrimental to the progress of the whole region. Especially when they found out how the ibos have appropriated all the benefits accruing to the south to themselves, only. For example, in education, once the north have taking the lion share of the yearly scholarships availaqble, the ibos took over 95% of the south's allocation whilst the remaining group in the south including the yorubas, edos, itsekires ati bebelo had to contend with the remaining 5%. Ditto ministerial appointments where the north took 11 of the 22 posts available, leaving the remaining 11 for the south, of which the ibos took 10 leaving only Minister of Labour for the yorubas. Akintola did get his alliance with the north which led to the wild wild west slogan in yorubaland at the time because the north aided akintola in the standoff between akintola who was fired by his party for his anti-party politics. The downside of akintola's alliance with the north was that the ibos lost out at the centre. Consequently, Zik went strutting around imploring the military chiefs to take over the reigns of govt. until he was firmly told in unambiguous terms, that they-the military chiefs takes their orders from the PM, ONLY. This was what actually led to the ibo's infantile attempt at power grab in the Jan '66 coup wherein, both the sardunna and Akintola were killed including all other non-ibos that could jeopardise their treacherous game. 1 Like |

T8ksy: Awo was the one that sent Akintola to the North while Awo was in Enugu with Zik. Akintola's first visit was in AG's interest, but when Zik discovered Awo's game, and Akintola's mission failed, AG and Awo were forced to play opposition, with a devilish plan to topple Balewa govt. 1 Like |
Re: Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe Campaigns In Style In The 1960s by pazienza(m): 3:14pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
But Akintola was not comfortable with Awo and AG opposition and treason plan, so he continued visiting the North on his own will,against Awo and AG plan,hence his anti party sin. Akintola like his Oga awo was equally power hungry,and treacherous, he wanted the best for the Yorubas,but he wanted to be the Oga at the top. Bottom line: Akintola's first visit to the North was in Awo and AGs service. His subsequent visits were anti Awo and AG, as Awo and AG gave him no such orders. He was driven by treachery and power hunger. |

pazienza: Ol' boy, did anyone tell that water and oil can't miss? I guess not. How could Akintola's visit to the sardunna be in AG's interest? The AG at the time had a political ideology called 'Democratic Socialism' based on the socialism that was in vogue then in much of Europe after WW II. This was intended to guarantee an equitable redistribution of national wealth whereas Akintola on becoming premier started moving from the core of the party 's doctrine towards a feudalist system where a few were great and decided the destiny of a many. This was why the party unanimously removed Akintola for anti-party policies and not because he was visiting the sardunna every now and again. Geez! you sure cogitate like a minor. Sorry, no umbrage intended. On May 19, 1962 , at a meeting of the Western and Mid-Western executive committee of the Action Group, Chief SL Akintola, then premier of the AG-controlled Western Nigeria , was forced to defend himself for anti-party activities. At the party’s annual convention held in January 1962 at Jos, the bitter disagreements among the leaders of the party were brought into the open. The dispute was caused largely by differences on tactics between Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the then Premier of the Western Region and the deputy leader of the party who advocated that the Action Group should enter a Federal Coalition Government, and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Leader of the Opposition in the Federal Parliament, who strongly opposed this view and also supported a more radical policy in internal affairs. source=" Nigeria : Yesterday, Today and...?", J.O.Ojiako, (1981).

T9ksy: I don't really know how this your article makes any difference to the discussion at hand. I never said he(Akintola) became an AG outcast for frequent visit of the Saraduna, it was your juvenile brain that deduced that from my posts. *grins* Water can't mix with oil, yet water didn't later mix with oil, but became one with oil. Oh the wonder of Awo politics. Awo and AG had no political/democratic ideology, how can some one who was found guilty of treason twice,first against a democratically elected govt. And secondly against a military junta speak of ideology. Unless being power hungry counts as political ideology. |

Awo, had no political ideology other than power hunger ideology, he committed treason against a democratically elected government, and did the same against a military government. He(Awo) didn't believe in one Nigeria, yet he was Gowon poster boy for one Nigeria and even devised starvation policy in bid to keep Nigeria One. Awo had no political ideology, prove me wrong, I dare you. 2 Likes |

vicadex07: I never took anything away from Zik. Jonathan didn't name himself Azikiwe. His parents did. If you know the history of nigeria, you will realize that Jona's place was part of the East then. Zik was their hero too. Whenever anyone criticizes Zik, you guys always think he's not igbo. Shame. Jona might not be as polished as Zik or Awo, but the truth is that he is ruling nigeria today. Zik and Awo couldn't do it with all their class. That should count for something. I am not a Jona supporter but I only stated the obvious. If I hurt or bruised your ego, please accept my sincere apologies. |
