Oh please, just STFU!

Is this the 'one Nigeria' Zik signed up to? Because i know it's Zik you're referring to!

All you do is blame the current shithole status of Nigeria on the perceived mistakes of people that are long dead! Besides cheering on a ruthless bigot and enabling the Fulani hegemony, what are you doing to revert things back to how they used to be?

Omoodua007:


Shut it
Did Azikwe not notice all of these be for telling Awolowo Nigeria is indivisible and still went on to partner with them

So you call Yoruba slaves
So igbos were killed pre independence but you still partnered with them. If that’s not slavery I don’t know what is

The shout for Biafra was on during Jonathan time, MASSOB was a nightmare for Jonathan. IPOB only took to to the next level

Nothing kept together "by force" ever lasts forever. You guys can have your time now but it will be us who will laugh last

mrvitalis:

Zik was so powerful his one decision over powered that of the other 2

Great one

The war ended 50 years ago, of what benefit has national unity been to the common man on the streets since then?

helinues:
Here is my problems with the lists.

If Hausas' have been riding Easterners for years, is the current generation of Easterners going to let history repeat itself?

gidgiddy:


The Northerners are riding the entire south. However, the only agitation against Northern domination is that of IPOB who are mostly Igbos.

Nobody is disputing the facts that Northerners are riding the whole south entirely, but why are Igbo's too emotional about that when you can make the corrections via ballot?

Let me speak on behalf of SW, at times you need to play as a fool to get what you want..

Karma is f..ucking real even though it has no arms or legs

Area4Area:
Story for the gods, better go exhume the corpses of Azikiwe and Ironsi and give both two slaps each for bringing Nigeria to this

gidgiddy:


You still do t get it. Nigeria has been rigged in favour of the North. They have the most number of states, the most number of Local governments, they control the upper and lower houses of the national assembly which means they can make and unmake any law they want.

So what are you going to do with the ballot? Even if the president is from my village, he will still be president of a Nigeria that skewed heavily in favour of the North

helinues:


As a president, educating and enlightening of their wards would be my first priority. When people know their rights, then the right people might be in power.. Na God save Gandollar , Tambuwal and Elrufai

Jonathan's experience as president taught me my final lesson about Nigeria. He was commander in chief and performed probably better than any other before him but because he was from the wrong side of the country he was under threat from the north and the southwest from day one till the day he left office. He couldn't do anything for his people out of fear despite the fact that his place has been feeding Nigeria for more than 50 years.

Presidency is a waste without restructuring

The person who deserves a slap is Lugard for bringing us together

No, the one who deserved the hottest slap is Azikwe (and his fellow ibo compatriots) who vehemently fought against the inclusion of a secession clause into our constitution. The fake union would have definitely disintegrated by now with probably no loss of life.

Karma is truly a b.i.t.ch.....

I cut Azikiwe some slack b'cos of the circumstances of his birth, childhood and tutelage! If there's any such thing as a 'true Nigerian' then Zik is it....even if this has worked against the interests of his people, Ndigbo!

Zik was born in the north (Zungeru) and had part of his childhood there; attended Hope Wadell training inst', Calabar; and spent a good part of his formative years in Lagos under the tutelage of Herbert Macauley! He was the quintessential Nigerian if ever there was one, hence i can understand (even if i don't agree with) his desire for a 'one Nigeria'!

The Nigeria that Zik subscribed his people to, is it the Nigeria you see today that you say should be 'indivisble' and Ndigbo must remain a part of come hell or high water?

Assuming for the sake of argument, we say with the benefit of hindsight that Zik made a 'mistake', what are YOU doing to correct said mistake....or are you just gonna sit on your arse apportioning blame upon blame to actors who exited the stage close to 50 yrs ago? We can only blame Zik had it been all the political and socio-economic dislocation we're witnessing today was happening under the arrangement he signed up to on the eve of independence in 1960! Is this the case, or are we operating a unitary system of gov't in all but name....one that sees a Fulani hegemony dictating to the rest of the country what can and can't happen?

If you're Fulani, then you should even be grateful for Ziks' 'mistake' as had the situation been any different and you were not in 'one Nigeria' today, you'd in all likelihood be no better than Niger!

If you're Yoruba, then you need to ask yourself what Awo did to rectify this 'mistake' (you heap solely on Ziks' head) when he had an opportunity to remove his people from the 'mere geographical expression' he termed Nigeria to be! He had a window of opportunity when the north had its hands full with the Biafra secession, but what did he do? He only went and served in a gov't that was out to sustain this mistake of Lord Lugard, that's what he did! Some may argue, he should have at least first extracted some concessions from the northerners on how he wanted Nigeria to be governed/structured before agreeing to join them in their quest to sustain 'one Nigeria'!

T9ksy:




Abi o jare!!!

After the civil war during which we all saw how the same group was almost annihilated, allegedly, by the fulani-run military government yet come the 2nd republic, it was the same perennially persecuted group who willing jumped into bed with their "masters"- the fulani govt of shehu shagari .

Yet they have the temerity to call others, afonja.........

So let me get something straight here, the argument by here is that Zik (A SINGLE MAN) all by himself decided the secession clause and thus the destiny of the whole Nigeria just by himself? wow! Zik must have been some super man who wielded unquestionable power... so the pertinent question now is, if Zik single-handedly abrogated the secession clause at the time...what were the other regional leaders doing, sleeping? what were Yorubas, Hausas and the rest of Nigerians doing while one man decided their political future?... either Zik was too powerful, too smart, or maybe the rest of Nigerians were just moping idiots who allowed one man take them on a long ride.

Omoodua007:


Yes he was too smart and powerful

Front0lane:
You Igbos are pathetically shameless so Zik signed up for a one Nigeria you clowns can decide when no one can leave and when you can leave whether others like it or not. Bro your reasoning is foolish no be small o.
