Awolowo Caused All The Problems In Nigeria - - Unongo by IkpuMmadu: 7:25pm On Jan 21, 2018 |
. "Nigeria’s problem began many years ago after the late Nnamdi Azikiwe scored a fantastic victory in the Western House as a member of the House and his party was to form the government. But Awolowo, who brought federalism as a form of governance reverted to tribal politics when Azikiwe defeated him in the election. Awolowo felt, as the strongman of the Yoruba, Azikiwe should not have won the election in his place, and he could not countenance an Igbo man coming to be the premier or the first minister or prime minister of a predominantly Yoruba place. Night came, and when day broke, Zik discovered his majority had collapsed. The Yoruba abandoned him and went to a strange person they did not know ideologically, that is Awolowo, on the basis of tribe. So, Zik was forced to rethink as an intelligent person, to relocate. He went back to his own part of the country to become the first Premier of Eastern Region. Some of us sprang up too, in going with Awolowo’s federalism, that the notion that there are only three tribes or sections in the country was so fundamentally defective that we called on the metropolitan power, Britain, to correct this before they would leave. So, we in the Middle Belt of Nigeria came together and decided that we would call ourselves ‘people in the middle’ and that we were not Hausa, we were not Fulani. At that time, we told Britain, Nigeria had over 250 tribes but that we could not dissect Nigeria into 250 nations .” - Wantaregh Paul Unongo 1 Like |

Don't you idiots get tired of blaming Awolowo for any and everything that has ever gone wrong in your pathetic lives? The funny thing is that in your obsession with Awolowo, you tacitly grant him a special stature above all other Nigerian statesmen, even though he never actually ran the country in any official capacity: if a man who has been dead for 30 years still exerts such a pull on your minds, he must really have been something else when he was alive! 23 Likes |

awolowo. the same man who said if Biafra secedes he will lead Yoruba's to secede too. only for him to join forces with Gowon. A bitter pill we will never forget. Anyway the past is past. Everybody has learnt his lessons, thanks to Fulani guys for making the middle beltans realize how sweet one Nigeria tastes 22 Likes |

I am ashamed for this Man. this is an educated man talking without facts. which election did zik contest with awo? How many seats did ncnc win out of the 80 seats contested? which party was leading before the controversial cross-carpeting? which party did those who cross carpeted come from, and to which party? please provide the names of those people who left ncnc for ag. Nonsense, I pity graduates who have passed through this man if he is a lecturer. IkpuMmadu: 10 Likes |

The blame should be on Azikiwe that wanted one Nigeria by all means. Awo was opposed to one Nigeria. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Whether the middle belt likes it or yes, the Middle belt is Hausa / Fulani. Simple. Na now una eyes open. When you fought your SE neighbours during the civil war just because they wanted to be independent, you didn't realize you were giving up your own autonomy? Each time you consistently support north in politics just because of tribal and religious reasons, you don't know you're affirming your master/slave relationship with them? Middle belt, una good morning o. 1 Like |

For the records, Azikiwe's NCNC never won majority of the seats in the western house of assembly in 1951. It is an unfortunate lie that has always been repeated to dent Awolowos image. Majority of the members got elected on their individual strength and not on the platform of any political party. It was when the house was to be inaugurated that they all took side with either AG or NCNC. Awolowo rightfully insisted that members should seat along party line in order to put a lie to the propaganda of NCNC that they won the majority of seats. Majority of the elected members joined AG on inauguration day and hence, Awolowo formed the government. 5 Likes |

See what the Clueless and incompetent Buhari has caused? This Chaotic and corrupt Buhari govt has made everyone suddenly realised that they are in a shithole of a country and they are seeking to blame whoever has gotten them into this shambolic union. Let's send Buhari back to Daura in 2019 and everything will return to normalcy. 1 Like |
