Bros, forget all this. The only reason Awo backed out was because Gowon promided him prime ministership of a re-united Nigeria after the war.

Ovamboland:


How did Zik emerge as premier in the east If he contested and won a seat in Lagos? Did he contest in Onitsha zone or enugu at the same time in Lagos? Will that not be an example of electoral malpractice? Which is the beginning of electoral fraud we still suffer from till today?

THESE ARE SOURCES OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS:

1= NNAMDI Azikwe,an igbo man rejected secession clause in Nigeria constitution againt OBAFEMI AWOLOWO'S proposal/advice.

2= igbo young officers killed leaders of yoruabs and hausas and spared igbos politician.
As if that wasn't enough, ojukwu, an igbo man declared war on Nigerians simply because they retaliated the killings of their leaders and politicians killed by igbos officers.

3= Agui ironsi, an igbo man destroyed regionalism when he became president after his kinsmen has killed politicians of other region.

CAN YOU NOW SEE THAT IGBOS ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS FACING THE COUNTRY TODAY. .

But Nigeria also has one common language - English and pidgin English

Ahmadu was really one articulate dude. Surprised to see that from aboki. No wonder they worshipped him over there.

Why is Unongo silent about Sardauna ?

Igbo is specialized in falsification and history twisted!
The first test of the party came in the 1951 election. The party won majority votes in the Eastern Region of Nigeria's House of Assembly but became the opposition in the western region with Azikiwe as the opposition leader representing Lagos. Although the Action Group (AG) won a plurality of the votes in the election, its prospects were uncertain as the NCNC could have secured a majority if it had been able to persuade [b]the third party, which was an Ibadan community party and which had been viewed by the NCNC as its ally, to support it. This it was not able to achieve and the AG therefore formed the government amid accusations of carpet-crossing by Azikiwe and his NCNC. This event is still viewed by some historiographers as the beginning of ethnic politics in Nigeria.Azikiwe later on became the Premier of Eastern Region, Nigeria in 1954.

Arrant nonsense!!! NCNC won both western and eastern regional elections.The tribalism in Nigerian politics started in 1951 carpet-crossing by Yari.ba peeps who won the election on the platform of NCNC and later switched to AG so that Yari.ba person should be first premier of western region. Yet NCNC repeated the feat in 1954 general election as NCNC defeated AG in western region.

Now I think about it, Zik knew Awo didn't want the secession clause for nothing. Zik probably knew his hidden agenda was to start talking secession soon after independence, which was the last thing Zik wanted

9jaDoc:


Ojukwu's aim was to create conditions that will encourage or give the west the excuse to secede or overthrow Gowon. His aim was never to conquer the west or he will never have picked Banjo of all people.

WetinConsignMe:


Nothing equates being a witness to an event because anything can be written about it afterwards and all sorts of spin applied. You will miss all the nuances and body language.

9jaDoc:


Nigeria changed their currency. All Igbos were given £20
regardless of how much pre-war NIGERIAN currency they had. That is CRUEL!!

Ovamboland:


those who got nothing left in the bank also got £20 and that's cruel too?

Ovamboland:


being alive during an event is not always equivalent to being an eye witness. Achebe witnessed the election of the first premier at the Western region house, but only told us the official propaganda lines of his party NCNC, how reliable is that type of eyewitness?

Ovamboland:


what a loving bomber and killer of Lagosians and loving way to encourage people. Can we say Awolowo encouraged ibo to stop succession by supporting blockade policy, or we can't give him that luxury of understanding

9jaDoc:


Very simple. He was head of the party, he was the party, father of the nation, everything. It was pre-agreed he would assume premiership of the East. It went smoothly. Everyone was happy. Awo couldn't do same in AG. Akintola outmaneuvered him and ultimately jailed him

9jaDoc:


They dropped pamphlets urging people to overthrow Gowon. There was no bombing. Stop the propaganda.

9jaDoc:


But it is not only Achebe. Unongo, Man, Mbadiwe etc even people who despised Zik, they all agree his party won the electiom

Ovamboland:


Zik was father of which nation in 1951 or 53? Who conferred him with that title? A father also justling for political post with his sons? Do you know only 4 years separates Zik and Awo in age?

So you feel it's fair to have his premier seat assured in his tribal region no matter what and he went to struggle for premiership in another region. If Awo had lost out where is his own assured premier seat? in the northern region? So Zik knew where he came from and secured assured seat there. Why did he not attempt to take over premiership seat in North where he was born? That's an example of robbing cow dung in the face of the liberal Yoruba and scolding them for reacting.

On the night of 9 August, another Biafran plane flew in from the East and dropped bombs on non-military area.‘Warning bombs,’ Ojukwu called them in a lengthy midnight address on Radio Biafra on 10 August 1967. The plane also dropped leaflets in Ikeja and Palmgrove uhh “calling on people to overthrow Gowon’s government and the Hausa imperialists.” “The American ambassador noted that the leaflets were similar to the ones being distributed by Biafran soldiers to gain support in the Midwest. On 16 August 1967, another Biafran plane flew in and dropped two bombs on Apapa. The more the bombs exploded, the more Igbos resident in Lagos were put in trouble.

Ovamboland:


Hope you know innocent Yoruba children and women were killed in that blast yet no one is carrying around hatred or posting pictures of why Yoruba should hate ibo. They have moved on from July 19 1967, ibos should learn to stop living in 1951

Show us the election result or JSTFU.

Why the hell would zik want to be in charge of yoruba affairs in the western region, anyway? Is western region, iboland ni?

why didn't he contest for premiership in the north where he was born?

Ovamboland:



Propaganda, lol
