God have cursed Gowon people, their sufferings are going to multiple day by day. Now tell me his happiness when his people are suffering. haaaaahaaaaa. foolish people. |

Throwback: What am trying to point out hia is this You can't just pick the story of Eyo Ita without following the story of Zik's escapade in the west I as an igboman do not support or applaud Zik's action, because it shows desperation and greed. However I call it the chain reaction of Awolowo's politics. Its just like militancy in the Niger-Delta with the agitation/ death of Ken Sarowiwa.

tamdun: Like I said Azikiwe's overzealousness was not good at the time, but bringing in tribalism was disastrous. There are alot of ways to campaign and defeat a political opponent without destroying the system. |

Dikebuka: What stupid tribal game did Awo introduce? Azikiwe formed Igbo Union He got the NCNC leadership after a Yoruba man's death. He's from the east but chose to lead the west - why? Awolowo formed Egbe Omo Oduduwa [ just like Igbo Union & Ibibio Union were formed] Then all of a sudden Azikiwe got mad that Obafemi Awolowo formed a cultural group. Why? Election was not so far away & Azikiwe collapse Igbo union into NCNC therefore making the Igbo the largest population of a party formed by a Yoruba man! Awolowo did the same, Egbe Omo Oduduwa morphed into AG. Again, Azikiwe got mad. Dude where is the tribal politics here? It seems to me, Azikiwe started the nonsense & what is with not staying in your region & coveting other people's region especially Lagos. What the fu.k was that about? 7 Likes 5 Shares |

OgboAto: Recall that prior to Awolowo forming AG, he was in the same NCNC with Azikiwe. What prompted him to form AG... I will like you to read this little piece from your brethren https://businessday.ng/columnist/article/the-1951-elections-how-awolowo-forced-azikiwe-out-of-western-nigeria/ |

Dikebuka: At bolded, you've spoken, case closed. That's why we love Awolowo he's not a bastard. If you think Awolowo brought Tribalism, what will you call that of Zik and his brethren's plot that ousted Eyo Ita's Government? |

ThatFairGuy:. That statement was made based on the OP post of a particular event without going through the exact scenario that led to that event. Azikiwe never woke up and forced Eyo Ita ( very bad action in my opinion) out of office. It was the event of the west that gave rise to his action thus justifying that every action and decision you take, has consequences both in the short and long term |

ThatFairGuy: Nobody dominated anybody. He and Zik engage in a power tussle and Zik had stronger argument. Awolowo was a good man who had the interest of his people at heart, but that those not mean that he did not err. Likewise Zik who loved his people but created a lot of bad impression even before Independence |

Dikebuka: Awolowo had nothing to do with Zik’s greed. AG won the western region election and formed the government. Zik’s NCNC was the minority party and the right thing for Zik to do was to assume office as the leader of opposition in western region. Instead, he betrayed the Yorubas in Lagos who voted massively for him by abandoning his seat and role in government. He then went back home to destabilize the government of Eyo Ita and hijacked the eastern region government for himself. 3 Likes |

Dikebuka: Azikiwe collapse Igbo Union to NCNC thereby making the party a tribal party of the Ibo. Go read books with sources discussing all of these. Begin with the Groundwork of Nigeria History by Obaro Ikime. 1 Like |

seunmsg: Exactly! Azikiwe betrayed the Yorubas in Lagos who voted him into office as their representative in parliament. All Azikiwe saw of them was a vehicle to power and not for service. Yes, Awolowo as Premier and AG as the ruling party, frustrated Azikiwe's plan B to proceed to the Federal parliament as a representative from the Western Region and delegate of the opposition NCNC. However, Azikiwe refusing to stay in the West and play his role as leader of opposition when his federal bid failed, but suddenly realizing he could go to the East to cause trouble that would result to a new elections for which he would contest and still lead the party from the East, is what political greed or unbridled ambition is made of. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

seunmsg: Go through this. https://businessday.ng/columnist/article/the-1951-elections-how-awolowo-forced-azikiwe-out-of-western-nigeria/ What am trying to say is simple.. It was the event of the west that led to what happened in the east. Though in my opinion Zik did a great disservice to the people of the Eastern region |

OgboAto: I have gone to google to check whether I would see a piece concerning the collapse of igbo union, but I did not. I will try and get Obaro Ikime books NCNC was never a tribal party for Igbos...it was a nationalist party though with massive igbo support and patronage |
