disappointed, when I saw u canceling all, I thought u wanted to counter the truth their but end up talking nonsense. U call it trash, why can u constructively counter the trash. U see why we always say u lack knowledge of reasoning in the part of the nation. Ur hero used same stupidity to kill thousand of you, awolowo used wisdom to quench the fire. Orubebe shouted tired during election, jega used knowledge to discard him. When are u ppl gonna get wisdom?

Soyinka is the probably the first person to show us that nobel prize in literature may not be worth that much.
While Achebe was destroying age-long white superiority passed down by respected but bigoted racist writer joseph conrad, your soyinka was busy kissing as$.
Fast forward to the future, Achebe is by far the most recognized and most respected.
The south west is backward. Your pre-historic roofs, your cave-lives habitation, your obtuse traditionalism bears testament to your backwardness. Even your very visage looks backward.
It also shows why lagos is located at the very edge, almost demarcated from the rest of yoruba primitiveness.
Comparing the south west to the ever-developing, real estate haven called the south east is criminal.

In Nigeria, like all the dreamers in other parts of the
world, Herbert Macaulay the grandson of Bishop
Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a descendant of the man who
interpreted the Bible into Yoruba and other
languages more like an immigrant after years of
slavery and his return as a Christian, in a small
room in Badagry in present Lagos State also had a
dream; His grandson Herbert Macaulay with the
blood of the Saaro or Creole in his vain teamed up
with Dr. Azikiwe and others. They thought a dream
out on un-coordinated history of the people around
River Niger would be real to produce a nation from
225 tribes with its foundation as a people based on
tradition and culture of their forefathers, not people of immigrants, but indigenes with loyalty to
their gods, and covenant to what the Supreme God
gave them as people. In the West of Nigeria, they
called the almighty God Olodunmare. In the East the
God is called Chineke, in the North, Allah, and in
some parts of the old Benin Empire, the same God
is called Osanobua. these people till today, they feel
God and their gods in different ways and the
feelings affected the way they view other people.
The first crack in the unity was first mentioned with
the death of Herbert Macaulay in 1946 or so. The
dreamer who died after he returned from the North
in his attempt to broaden his NNPC and political
associates all over the country and Dr. Nnamdi
Azikiwe the General Secretary felt he could
assumed the leadership of the party then in its
political embryo and different groups emerged and
frustrations and demand from the colonial masters
led to the emergence of other political parties in
Nigeria, without going into the details of what led to
what,
Dr. Azikiwe was almost on the verge of becoming
the first Premier of the Western region, a 100
percent Yoruba descendants of Oduduwa for
various reasons, Lagos (apart from Lagos Island
colony) Ikeja which Azikiwe represented was part of
Western Region, and Ibadan was then the political
Headquarters of everything in the West not Lagos
or Ikeja, meaning Azikiwe would have to operate
from Ibadan as Premier of Western Region.
At a time most of the Action Group members in the
East were not allowed to campaign or have access
to winning the election in the areas called Cor
States like Akwa Ibom etc were then part of the Old
Eastern Region in which Enugu was the center of
action, just like Ibadan was to the Western Region
same for Kaduna for the whole Northern Region,
those three Cities were not controlled by
immigrants they were cities with their ancient
history and culture of local indigenes and unless a
politician could be “born again” it would be difficult
to be accepted as one of them.
It was the same notion on how late Bola Ige,
the assassinated Minister of Justice and Attorney
General of Nigeria during the administration of
President Obasanjo expressed as Governor of Oyo
State with Headquarters in Ibadan in 1983 when he
was told he would not be given more than one term
as the Governor despite his laud mouth and
achievement beyond anyone in history.
Late Bola Ige said, though his parents were from
Ijesha, he was born at Ibadan, he had all his
education, Primary, Secondary and University
Education at Ibadan, married to the daughter of the
land and his legal firm all in the City of Oluyole, he
wanted to know why he could not be called an
Ibadan man. Late Chief Adisa Akinloye told
him the difference between immigrants and
indigenes, this is the point we will use as we
progress with this article. We could see why Azikiwe
could not be given the mandate to become the first
Premier in the West at a time his political Party
denied Action Group in the East the opportunity of
fairness extended to him in Lagos then under
Western Region. He was asking for too much.
Secondly, politics is like eggs and chicken, never
counts all your chicken until they are hatched, we
saw what happened recently with the national
Assembly in Abuja where Hon. Gbajabiamila was
nominated by APC he did not win the Speaker same
for the Senate in which Senator Saraki who was not
the choice of the Party emerged as the President of
the Senate. It was what happened to Azikiwe the
Owelle of Onitsha his party wanted him as the
Premier in the Yoruba land on the floor of the
House he did not built. It was not tribalism, it was
the way politics was operated then, you can only
win on the floor not in the secret bedroom of
assurances given by party loyalists or friends.
Azikiwe turned it around, he called it tribalism, he
did not call it tribalism when he ran and won in
Lagos with the Yoruba votes and it was the
beginning of what became the problem between
the Yoruba and Igbo at the same time the maverick
politician failed to tell the Igbo how his party and
associates prevented Action Group in the East of
Nigeria from getting to the level he got in the West.
He was very economical with the truth.
The trial period of Premiership was short-lived, as
Dr. Azikiwe went back to the East to grab the
Premiership otherwise through the policy of Dr.
Azikiwe out of the three Premiers in Nigeria before
independence between 1952-1959, his tribe Igbo
would have grabbed two in the West and East and
Sir Ahmadu Bello in the North with no
representation at all from tribe of Herbert Macaulay
who invited him to join the NNPC or that of
Awolowo. It was the beginning of greed and
disloyalty between the two tribes.
Dr. Azikiwe was back home as Premier but the
extended love of the Yoruba he had in Lagos and
Ibadan with deep friendship was turned to tribal
wars to score political points. And both of them
continue to outplay one another, until Azikiwe
scored a major point to destroy the influence of the
Yoruba from the system in a government with the
North. The Western Region was divided into two,
they called it Mid-West to weaken the Western
Region and the West would forever be in the
opposition with the hope of sharing the leadership
with the North, if possible, to destroy the North
itself he grabbed or his party grabbed.
Before the coup of 1966 Sir Ahmadu Bello and SLA
Akintola accused the Igbo of greed and
unsearchable appetite to grab more than necessary
(Readers can Google those videos on YouTube)
surprisingly, in 1966 in the coup led by the Igbo
both men were killed by the Igbo Soldiers and it
became one of the events that lead to the second
coup (Readers can search for what General
Jeremiah Usenni said on the reason why the second
coup took place).
General Aguiyi Ironsi an Igbo man the Head of State
was approached by the Yoruba Elders to release
Chief Awolowo who was in jail, as if to humiliate the
leader of the Yoruba based on the poisoned story
Azikiwe passed to the East since he came back
empty handed from Ibadan, Aguiyi Ironsi gave a
condition, he wanted Awolowo to ask for it in
writing. The Elders persuaded Awolowo to write
which he did with the list of all those jailed along
with him. When Aguiyi Ironsi got the request in
writing like he requested. He still refused. He
wanted Awolowo to die in jail.
That did not go down well with the Yoruba, what
Nigerians and anyone with the history must know
about Awolowo, to the Yorubas, he was the
second coming of Oduduwa, to hate Awolowo is to
hate the Yorubas, it is just the way it is, if you make
Awolowo your enemy, if you like take a bath in River
Ganges in India you can never be a friend of the
Yorubas. It is the way it will be forever on how the
descendants of Oduduwa chose their friends
among the 225 tribes in Nigeria and out of the
country.
General Yakubu Gowon became the new Head of
State. The same offer by the Elders was extended to
the young Military Head of State, he did not ask
Awolowo to beg for it, and he released Awolowo
and even invited him into his government. The
difference was clear between Aguiyi Ironsi and
Gowon.
What happened next?
To be continued.
I will enjoy this beautiful piece... carry on sir

This is why we never move forward. You spent so much time writing thrash, instead of using your time for a little research.
Ironsi released Awolowo, not Gowon. Go check the archives of the Federal executive council led by Ironsi. Gowon being there at the nick of time after Ironsi was murdered to take false credit doesn't mean he released him.

I don't understand the op's brand of stupidity. What sort of fool writes lies without even thinking. It was actually Ojukwu that released awolowo.

Your elders must have fed your fathers with lies and you inherited Dr lies from him. Mr. Igbo stop being foolish, check Google, your people are used to making lies in broad day light.....Awolowo was released by Gowon. ..wait, are you that dumb? What was Ojukwus position to have released Awolowo. History you people don't know, instead of reading credible authors, na books by hungry authors from Aba you go dey read. ........like father like children

It is like u dont know this yorubas, have u not seen their Oni of Ife and Oba of Ugbo writing and rewriting history.


Ny yoruba man can wake up and fabricate customs and history as he likes. They write wateva they like and claim it is history.


If i was to school yorubas on writing, my first point of reference is the difference between fact and opinion.


Yoruba cannot differentiate fact from Opinion, the two are combined and never distinguished.


That is y today the Oni of Ofe and Oba of Benin are fighting. Oni has come up with history that the Oba descended from Ife, the Oba of Benin insist that the Oni of ife descended from Benin.


None of dem make sense, just talking opinion and fantasy.


Your type of foolishness na follow come. That your useless brother that you quoted said it was Ojukwu that released Awolowo and without verifying the lie you jumped behind him and started typing epistle.....instead of you to study, no na gala una go dey sell for traffic....ask any knowledgeble person around you or ask Google, WHO released Awolowo from prison?....you wanted to blame Yorubas but you ended displaying the exact thing you accuse them of. We know based on your opinion and wishes, it was Ojukwu but FACT says it was GOWON....we have been schooling your elders since time immemorial , I won't mind schooling your generation as well.

The narratives has changed from Ojukwu releasing Awo to Ironsi now? CHildren of hatred and lies are one and the same.

How will an assassinated Ironsi release Awo? How will a useless Head of State that cannot even save himself rescue others?

Gowon released Awo from a Federal Prison in Calabar.

second coming of Oduduwa, to hate Awolowo is to
hate the Yorubas, it is just the way it is, if you make
Awolowo your enemy, if you like take a bath in River
Ganges in India you can never be a friend of the
Yorubas. It is the way it will be forever on how the
descendants of Oduduwa chose their friends
among the 225 tribes in Nigeria and out of the
country.
General Yakubu Gowon became the new Head of
State. The same offer by the Elders was extended to
the young Military Head of State, he did not ask
Awolowo to beg for it, and he released Awolowo
and even invited him into his government. The
difference was clear between Aguiyi Ironsi and
Gowon.
What happened next?
To be continued.

The narratives has changed from Ojukwu releasing Awo to Ironsi now? CHildren of hatred and lies are one and the same.

How will an assassinated Ironsi release Awo? How will a useless Head of State that cannot even save himself rescue others?

Gowon released Awo from a Federal Prison in Calabar.

Hug 50000KVA transformer if you are pained.

The temptation was to delve into showing you proof and links that Ironsi FEC actually agreed to release Awolowo, but his principal secretary and assistant Gowon led his fellow northern junior officers to assassinate the man even before all the resolutions were put into effect, but I wouldn't waste a precious moments on a bigot!

Frustrated bile-filled neanderthal savages of lies, dirt, slavery, squalor, abject poverty and illiteracy doing their best to drag the Great Igbo Nation into their delusion...just because they are too pained and bitter that Igbos are ever determined to have a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous parasites.

Useless set of snakish hypocrites and blood-suckers!

This legendary mad man of NL is still alive.

I pity whoever or whatever gave birth to you. You are simply a waste of space that is depleting the earth's oxygen without any meaningful contribution to mother earth.

Hear yourself for goodness sake. He agreed to release someone he was not the one that jailed him but his principal secretary later did.

How many minutes or hours or days or even months does it take to release someone if truly Ironsi had the intention.

Hav you forgotten he was in power for 6months. Does it take 6months to open the gate of the prison? Does it take 6month to sign an order under a military HoS?

Ironsi was never going to release Awo despite all pleas. He sees him as a future threat to Zik because other powerful politicians were dead except Zik and Awo.

Awo was released with Gowon's order. Did it take Gowon 6months to give the order on the release of Awo?

Awo was jailed as a result of trumped up charges of treason against him, which was actually an overnight connivance of the Igbos and Hausa / Fulani against the Yorubas, ably represented by Zik, Balewa and Ahmadu Bello -- the Evil Triumvirate.

God is a God of justice that fights for the innocent by pouring sand into the "akamu" of Awo's enemies. The Igbos killed the same Balewa and Ahmadu Bello and Hausa / Fulanis too also killed millions of Igbos.

Ironsi was tasked by Supreme Military Council, SMC, not FEC...olodo! His task was to prosecute Jan coupists, he did not do that, instead he is releasing people from prison. Are you lost?

@bolded...........................LOBATAN!!! Do me i do you, God no dey vex.


Abi o jare!!!

Because we don't wear our emotions on our sleeves like they are wont to do, they really thought we were not aware of the part they played in sending our revered leader and his close aides to prison on trumped up charges.

However, when there romance with the north hit an obvious iceberg, they started looking towards the same yorubas to help them fight their former bedmate. However, when we refused to put our necks on the block in order to rescue their nuts from the fulani fire, their greedy covetous longthroat has led them into, they started calling us "cowards" and decided to liberate us.......................................as they liberated the midwest region.


I tell you, these guys are truly smart.................................but only by halves.

Lol...
Lagos is a no man's land thats why you couldn't take the properties...
Yorubas welcomed us with open arms yet it was awolowo that introduces the indigenization policy, he was the one that that issued the policy that gave every Igbos €20 for each bank investment...
So much for live and let live.
Yorubas don't own Lagos and won't dictate to us how we live in Lagos so far as Nigeria continue to exist...
And no matter the hatred for the Igbos we will continue to succeed against all odds...
Just gerrout my mention hateful bunches

Cocaine smuggler, you have been disgraced and trash here but shame wont let you stop disgracing your eboe tribe. Many of your parents were deported from Lagos and flung back to your cursed erosion ravaged land, even your she-male governor Pita Hoebi cried but nothing happened. Some were flogged mercilessly in far away Ondo but you still only make noise, shameless people without history.

I didn't know that there was no poverty in the South-West shocked. So all those beggars I saw on the roadside in Ibadan must have been an illusion... wow shocked. People in glass houses really shouldn't be throwing stones.

Nigeria has serious issues with poverty and insecurity in every single region but instead of campaigning for good governance, you're here, insulting other regions for no good reason. I've been to a few places in the South-West and you'd think that I visited a completely different country going by what I read on here. Seriously, the only place in Nigeria that I've actually been impressed by is Abuja and even that city has loads of poverty ridden areas.

Pathetic hypocrite. You eboes are fond of playing the victim card always. So your cursed kinsmen throwing tantrums here are doing what? You all insult the West, North, and all tribes here daily. You were all cursing and insulting the Ibibios few weeks ago on this same nairaland, you all mock the Benue people for any Fulani killings e.t.c Dont you people call the North illiterates ans almajiris even when your people cant stop trooping to same North. You are a certified hypocrite.

Their parents lied to them that there failure in life was caused by Yorubas. They had to put the blame on Yoruba to hide their own failure and misfortune. Those in the North have been killing them since day 1 but they can never face them, they prefer to insult those that live with them peacefully in the West. They troop to other region daily and still cry that some people are holding them from going, no shame at all.
