Macaulay did not FORM NCNC. Herbert Macaulay was instrumental in the formation of NNDP which fielded many candidates for seats in Lagos legislative council. [b]The party's candidates were trashed by the candidates fielded by Zik's Nigerian Youth Movement. [/b]During formative hours of NCNC, Zik invited Herbart Macaulay to join the process. At this juncture, NNDP ceased to exit as a political party however the name was invoked in 1964 when SL Akintola formed another party in western region and named it NNDP.

In late 1934 Azikiwe returned to Africa, settling in Accra, Ghana where he became the editor of the newly founded African Morning Post. With that position he began his career in the newspaper industry where he promoted African nationalism and later African independence. After returning to Nigeria in 1937 Azikiwe founded the West African Pilot

J.C. Vaughn, Ernest Ikoli, H.O. Davies, and Samuel Akinsanya founded the Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) in 1934. Although based in Lagos, the NYM was the first Nigerian nationalist organization to promote politics outside of the capital. Furthermore, the NYM was also the first organization to stress national unity over racial divisions, notably between the Igbo and Yoruba ethnic groups.

Zero sense made!
Throwing tantrums and resorting to cheap blackmail won't get you anywhere.

Come up with something intelligent to counter hards and stop all these gibberish.

I really do not understand why certain cretins in Nigeria love to make fool of themselves publicly. Herbert Macaulay was invited by Azikiwe to join the factional NYM and trade unions which were in the process to form NCNC. The party NCNC was not formed by Nigerians alone hence National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons. Macaulay's NNDP had been rendered useless by NYM in the Lagos Legislative Council election and party ceased to exist as a political party.

Your # 3 is arrant nonsense!! The only two parties with national posture to stand election were AG and NCNC. The mushroom parties were only allowed to contest election under the umbrella and manifesto of a party with national coverage. Zik was the national president of NCNC but leader of NCNC in western region was Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu. If you are in doubt of what transpired in western region during the wee hours of 1951, I urge you to read the biography of Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu not craps and propaganda vomited by partisan Yoruba people.

T9ksy:



NYM was not zik's party. It was formed in 1934 as Lagos Youth Movement by J.C. Vaughn, Ernest Ikoli, H.O. Davies, and Samuel Akinsanya Whilst zik was still in accra. Zik joined the NYM in 1937 when he returned to nigeria. At that time, the NYM was already the main political party in the country and held all the legislative council seats in lagos.

However, zik left the NYM with his fellow ibo people (and Akinsanya's followers) amkid the spurious claim of tribalism which eventually led to the death of the party.

Please read books not craps you lifted from Internet. The bolded showed you know absolute nothing about what you would want us to believe as facts. Eyo Ita did not know where Nigerian Youth Movement (NYM) was formed.

Same old tribalism we are talking about. What is wrong in Zik aspiring to a political position in the West? Is West not part of Nigeria? Is Zik not a Nigerian?

Obama was originally from Kenya but eventually became United States president. Nigerians are being elected into positions in UK, Canada etc but a fellow Nigerian was discriminated against and denied being elected based on tribalism.

You can see the report a Yoruba man wrote about what transpired during the 1951 elections.

You missed the point of sending the attachment. It was to show that Awolowo was still influencing policies as at 1972. Again, the Indignization decree only took effect in 1972, does it mean the idea also came into effect that same moment it was implemented? The idea must have been brought forward much earlier!!

Point of correction. Samuel Ladoke Akintola committed suicide. Isaac Adaka Boro was killed by a Yari.ba egocentric loudmouth. Sardauna and wife were killed by one of them.

I don't know the kind of myopic thinking and the level bitterness runs in ur blood, who tells you all these nonsense?? You can never see a hausa man saying all this rubbish that's why no reasonable tribe can team up with u people, u guys is just full of hatred.... See the way u quoted the guy with confidence as if they committed suicide in your ancestral land or in your sitting room... You guys seriously need to change the way of ur life.

But both sides cannot be right at the same time. Trust me I enjoy decorum too but one side is trying to maintain lies while the other side is trying to expose it.

I have said similar things in the past about Nigerian economy when the yorubas completely took over. They destroyed the economy with their Hausa Fulani masters.

It’s was finally during OBJ administration that he smartly put few igbos in key positions. That’s when some progress started being made.

Majority of the companies that they stole during indiginization policy are bankrupt and looted.

How can one be influencing policies as a opposition figure? It will be illogical for the government to implement policies that will be favorable to someone who was rooting for a return to democracy in a military dispensation. Pls go through the attachment again.

I simply ignored him because he was speaking out of emotion without any fact, sense or logic. Those ones are better left to wallow in their ignorance

Historical and ancient bitterness based on lies.

The indiginenization decree is nothing to do with Awo who tendered his resignation letter in 1970 immediately after the war and left Gowon's government early in 1971. Shagari was finance minister in 1972

These folk always like playing victim


In 1979 they had already produced Vice President 9 years after the war.

Why always playing victim

They're obviously not good managers. People that has owambe and Jaye-Jaye attitude to life can't possibly be good managers. It becomes worse when such a person or people are giving big businesses and companies to manage at short notice.

It will definitely go downhill and that's what happened when Awo handed them all those companies on a platter of gold.

How can you give such person loan and still ask him to use the same loan to buy huge companies he obviously can't run efficiently?

Remember that Nigeria was at par with many of the Asian countries then. After that Indignization decree of 1972, the foundation of our economy was destroyed and we never recovered from it because it was structural. On the other hand, most of those Asian countries are economic Giants today.

If foreigner who does not know Nigeria's history is asked to guess where the devastating civil war was fought based on how the cities and rural areas of each region looks like, the last region such person will point at is SE. They will either say it is the North or SW for obvious reasons.

Aside federal government infrastructure like roads, bridges and other amenities, our cities and rural areas still beat that of any other region in Nigeria! In essence, the war was fought in the East but the after effects is being felt in the regions that didn't withness any war

Yorubaland became the richest, most developed and most educated even until date.

Which Ibadan is this village man talking about? Is it the same glorified slum settlement we all know or another one?!

The only place in the SW that looks like where modern humans live is Lagos and we all know it wasn't developed by Yorubas.
