I really don't get your point. Are you saying Awolowo shouldn't have contested for the western region premiership position because Zik was more popular? Did Zik's party win the majority of seats in the western region Parliament to enable him become premier? What the fvck is tribalism in a Yoruba man asking Yoruba people to vote for him?

@throwback, all these your false stories written by envious and hateful Afonjas cannot help you. Tomorrow, all the lies written against Ngozi Okonjo Iwela by your Afonja Journalists to discredit her will be your children source of research for facts.

Throwback:


You've forgotten I am Yoruba.

You can be gloating to the Igalas or Urhobos.

We are the ones you always have to catchup to.

You wish you could erase that history, buy you can't.

wasn't the first in the Country but the first independent University. Ibadan was the first University in Nigeria

University College Ibadan was established on 17th November 1948 with three founding faculties; Arts, Science and Medicine

imhotep:

ok

CSTR2:

There is nothing wrong with asking yorubas to vote for you on your own merit.

Asking them to vote for you because you are Yoruba and the other is not ,is called tribalism.

Zik never played such politics. That is why he is the zik of Africa, while the other is a known ethnic champion.

perez100:
North, South have said Awolowo brought tribalism into our politics but you will quickly post your false stories from Afonja writers to counter it. Trump told his state to vote for him because he was capable and not because he is from the same state with them. #cursedAwolowo...

Sniper4real:
This place is hot mehn

Throwback:


Again another hateful and bitter Igboman who cannot forget Awolowo because he dared to become premier in his own region, democratically.

Is it your region?

Do we concern ourselves with the politics of your then Eastern region?

Or did Azikiwe not run back to the East and ensured he substituted another parliamentarian to obtain an Eastern seat, and from there ensured he usurped the premiership of The Efik Eyo Ita?

So now the North is your confirmation, yet when same North said they would only employ Northerners into the regional jobs, your people wailed hopelessly about the policies of that regional government that was considering the welfare of its own citizens?

The problem of the Igbo is that you want to be everywhere and you want to dictate everywhere.

When you are not allowed, you condemn. When you are allowed, you boast and gloat.

university wey no dey independence DAT one na university? its a college with affiliation elsewhere.

lordtim001:

Check Wikipedia
UNN was founded in 1955 which was still pre-independence
But it was formally opened on 7th October 1960,just 6 days after independence
So what's your point?

nwabobo:


You see how idiotic you are?

UNN was the first Nigerian university, established in 1955 and formally opened in 1960.

UI was established as a COLLEGE of the University of London and became an independent university with powers to award its own degrees in 1962. UNN already produced 2 sets of its own graduates before UI produced its first.

Throwback:



It is good that Azikiwe lived to see the result of his shortsighted politics in the life of his people.

It is also good that he also saw that other regions could also populate themselves in federal government jobs and positions like he was doing with his clansmen and termed as meritocracy during the independence government.

OnyeOGA:
Imhotep and lzaa are wicked oo. This guys are always good at finishing Yoruba Muslims.
