This is the truth. The British did not hand over Nigeria to the Fulani.

Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government.

Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get only 73 seats.

However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule.

It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively. Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC.

Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo.

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians.

Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem.

There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent. The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House.

Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”. And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo been destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani.

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since. The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

Zik gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria. The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966 which resulted in the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Zik.

*Copied and edited to take out hate speech against any tribe.

Agreed.... The Igbo's are the reason there is so much hate and fighting in Nigeria today.

They won't accept it.... Fine, no p.

But they are the ones suffering the most at the hands of the Fulani's.

We keep telling them that their so called Igbo Leaders are the real slaves to the Fulani but they will not Accept.. If Zik with his so called Education will travel from Enugu to Kano just to Accept the post of a Governor-General that the British Abolished the moment they left the country, Just because he knew that Yoruba's are not Push Overs.... Even till now his Off springs are still playing the slave rolls.... They will rather Support PDP that was formed by the Northerners against the APGA..

Zik was more powerful than British empire,somebody that locked up mami water in a bottle so giving power to Fulani na small thing.If you know,you know!

so u mean say they be second class citizen

Op the British handed over Nigeria to the Fulani. Stop trying to twist history for your selfish tribal reason.

The Fulani party that came 3rd in the number of votes got much higher number of seats than the Ibo and Yoruba parties that got higher number of votes.

Why is that so? Why Will the party with fewer votes get more seats in a parliamentary election?

The British rigged the election for the Northerners even before the election by allocating more seats in paliament to the north than they deserve.

By allocating more seats to the north other parties are forced to have the north in any coalition government to get 2/3 majority of the seats in paliament.

Zik simply beat Awolowo to it.

Ha

Thanks op, history will continue to expose their hypocrisy

coneheaded freaks and their aboki nama fvcking partners are all over here

IGBO The nightmare of coneheads since time immemorial

Free education no fit achieve anything..what else will?

Abi na almajiris wan achieve...

Between this tribe who the suffer, even after years of marginalisation and civil conflict..

Almajiris and slaves wan the compare today Nigeria with freeborn..
Even with dia power ..them still dey fear igbo..

Oee people

Very desperate attempt

So Zik defeated the British, singlehandedly created a monolithic northern region with more seats/votes at the Nigerian Parliament to out-vote the Western, Midwest and Eastern regions combined ??

Hmmm this Zik get power oooo

You know education is important in all countries! I want to say that now it's possible even in Nigeria! Online services like uk.papersowl.com is affordable for all. There professional can write you any kind of paperwork! The only thing you need is to want to do anything.

The above junk is a brain product of a ninny and a typical Nigerian. Zik did not invite Awolowo to Asaba. Instead Awolowo, as typical Yoruba, wanted to act what his people know best, treachery. Awolowo sent Akintola and Rosiji to Kaduna as one of the AG's hidden plans to trick Ahmadu Bello and Azik. In the second Yoruba trickery game plane, Awolowo and another members of Action Group went to Onicha to discourse plans with Zik. Little did Awolowo know that Akintola and Rosiji were meant to set him up for a political knockout. While in Kaduna with Ahmadu Bello, Akintola made a phone to Onicha in pretense he wanted to speak with Awolowo. This epic phone call alerted the Zik that Yari.ba peeps were on their usual tricky game plan. When Awolowo was informed about the phone call from his lieutenants in Kaduna, he was shocked to his political born.

Another display of ignorance is noted when the ill-informed poster claimed that Tafawa Balewa was a Fulani. What a dunce. Now let me state categorically that if Nigeria was ever handed to the Fulani or northern region of Nigeria, the act of handover was perpetrated by Yoruba and most ethnic minorities, particularly those from southern region of Nigeria and the periods were 1966 and 67. The British did their portion to put northern region in control of the estate called Nigeria however the Yoruba and the minorities of southern Nigeria perfected the act in 1967 when they sold their moral conscience by joining the northern region of Nigeria to prosecute a war of attrition against Ndigbo and Biafrans. Shame to the deluded bunches who seemed to work hard in order to rewrite history.
