Take on interviews he gave in London after Independence and his speeches. Great guy! Purposeful! Had his wits about him! He understood international politics. With the probable exception of Gowon no other Nigerian leader had those sterling qualities and more!! |

Yes he might be eloquent, but not the most eloquent in Nigeria as at that time, did they tell you that Nnamdi azikiwe and awolowo are stammerers? Simply say He is the mist eloquent in the north, not in Nigeria, cos, as at that time, there were others in Nigeria that were more eloquent. Silverstars: 1 Like |

genghiskhan007: In my view, slanted is your perspective here Sir/Ma! Tafawa Balewa lived and let others. Dangote is a sound example of business success mixed with humility building bridges across cultural and tribal divides. Maitama Sule was a Nigerian you would be proud to share the Green Passport with anywhere on the globe. Good to know that tribalism trips up and racism will raze reason down! |

genghiskhan007: You mix up the issues. Here we talk about their abilities to ramp up and deliver on what they believed to be good for the country and their life pursuits. It is a different thing altogether whether you sync with them on those fronts. Anyway, you reserve to yourself the right to advance what you believe in and work to oppose moves (overt or covert) against. It’s a game of interest. |

genghiskhan007: I reiterate my post. I advise you to read more carefully my last post. It is their right to push for what they believe in. You push for yours. That is what strategy is all about. As for the less than decent language a legal mind like yours used on me and others - they depict who you are. By your supposed training you didn’t have to go up in flames just because the other person saw things differently. Let’s have a decent conversation. We don’t have to be on the same page. It’s no reason to set the book ablaze! |

laudate:I have not said that Sowore is competent. But I do no that as a youth, he is got the energy to acquire that competence. Our main problem now is to create a new good system by purging out these old thieves in the executive, legislative and our judicial systems. If u have a candidate for the now that can do this, kindly let me know. |

AlfaSeltzer: He knew very well what he was doing, there is this insidious assumption by southerners that "the northerner" is poorly educated, limited in capacity and inherently disadvantaged by the unfortunate incidence of being born north of the niger; was false assumption and some of the brightest minds this country has produced come from that region. Balewa comes from a small tribe from whom he secured his name Balewa somewhere in Bauchi they have always been farmers and continue in that pursuit till today. |

BrownRoofRep: Rubbish, Balewa was a modest man who played the regional politics of the time effectively. This was a man who was not Fulani he came from a smaller village in Bauchi he can't even be described as ethnically Hausa yet he was able to unite a divergent north under one umbrella, he worked to set up industry- textile mills, leather tanning, cotton, groundnuts and farming within a short period, the Awos of this world were busing playing the same game in the south-west while the greed of Zik got the better of him, he was president but was also insisting on winning portions of the south-west. In terms of public speaking Zik spoke well but where would you place great orators like Nkrumah and Nyerere who were substantially more intelligent and established effective Afro-centric socialist systems. That "great Zik of Africa" term is not befitting because the man has no legacy of note within the SE not to even extend much beyond the borders of Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AlfaSeltzer: The jamb cut-off mark in Nigeria has dropped drastically since the day Balewa was murdered by those overzealous SE officers. I fail to see the correlation in this discussion, you are just plucking things out of the air just because. Don't be a nuisance |

sweetgala:I will not waste my time with you, comparing Balewa with Zik in terms of public speaking. Balewa was picked by British colonials as a local School teacher it was them that brought him up. The difference between Zik's educational exploit and Balewa is not even a gap but a chasm. What Balewa displayed above is not regional politics as you alleged but a complete tribal bigotry, inferiority complex, slave mentality. Dude like most Northern leaders were weary of Igbo domination and the preferred to be led by British instead of Southerners. Comparing the oratory prowess of world-class journalist vs lower school teacher is pathetic. Funny enough, you mention Kwame Nkrumah without being aware that you Zik was his mentor alongside host of other African nationalists. Kwame said and I quote - "My nationalism was also revived ... through articles written in The West African Morning Post by Nnamdi Azikwe, a Nigerian from Onitsha. Azikiwe was himself a graduate from an American university and when I had first met him after he had addressed a meeting of the Gold Coast Teachers' Association some years earlier in Accra, I had been greatly impressed by him and had been more determined than ever to go to America." - Kwame Nkrumah. Reference Obiwu. “The Pan-African Brotherhood of Langston Hughes and Nnamdi Azikiwe.” Dialectical Anthropology, 31.1-3 (November 2007): 143-165. Dude do me a favour, go to and read and stop jumping to what you have no clue of. Emotions don't make points. 2 Likes |

AlfaSeltzer: Do Biafrans have an unusually higher IQ as compared to "abokkis" ! There is no scientific proof to that conclusion, the levels of education is different as we all know and is universally poor in Nigeria by international standards so what are you banging at. Why your poor analysis I can conclude my IQ is higher than yours which most likely it is. |

danvon: Who told you that cock and Bull story? Balewa was shot from the back. A big bullet hole showed the gun used was an SMG. It was even rumoured that Ifeajuana told him to say his last prayers and then shot him while he was bowing. I think you should read more. |

BrownRoofRep: Zik was Kwame Nkrumah's mentor! What a joke of the century. In the 40s, 50s and 60s teachers were the superstars the likes of Ransome Kuti, Ajayi Crowther, Awolowo, the list goes on were teachers and helped to develop the brilliant minds that ran the Nigerian adminstration fluidly from the early 1950s and as we took over from the colonialist in 63' Zik spoke well agreed, Balewa spoke well and lead his people gave them hope and left a legacy Zik would never be able to match. Zik would forever be a nonentity in the political equatiom of our country , one day when our political history is dissected Zik would be exposed nfor the fraud that he was |
