You do know that Adelaide is the same as Akin Egba, very foolish and always too eager to stupidly revise well documented historical events!

He is unbelievably daft!

^^^^^
You are a fool. Wetie (wild wild west) happened before the coup. You are a mumu of the highest order.

Politics of the First Republic

The country was split into three geopolitical regions — Western Region, Eastern Region and Northern Region — and its political parties took on the identities and ideologies of each region. The Northern People's Party (NPC) represented the interests of the predominantly Hausa/Fulani Northern Region, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) (later renamed to National Council of Nigerian Citizens) represented the predominantly Igbo Eastern Region, and the Action Group (AG) dominated the Yoruba Western Region. The NPC took control of the federal parliament, and formed a coalition government with the NCNC. Ahmadu Bello, leader of the NPC, was poised to become the Prime Minister, but instead he chose to become the Premier of the Northern Region, and supported his deputy Tafawa Balewa's candidacy for Prime Minister. This raised suspicions amongst the southern politicians, who resented the idea of a federal government controlled by a regional leader through his designated proxy. In the end, Tafawa Balewa of NPC was named Prime Minister and Head of Government, and Nnamdi Azikiwe of NCNC was named President. At Nigeria's independence, the Northern Region gained more seats in parliament than both Eastern and Western regions combined—this would cement Northern dominance in Nigerian politics for years to come. Resentment amongst southern politicians precipitated into political chaos in the country. Obafemi Awolowo, Premier of Western Region, was charged with sedition and convicted in a controversial trial. With incarceration of Awolowo, Samuel Akintola was elected as the Premier of Western Region. Akintola was widely seen as a tool of the North, and he presided over the most chaotic era in Western Region—one which earned it the nickname "the Wild-Wild West". This forced the Balewa government to crack-down on lawlessness in the West using military might.

Crisis in Western Nigeria

Prior to independence, he was persuaded by prominent members of the Action Group to lead the party as Leader of the Opposition at the Federal Parliament, leaving Samuel Ladoke Akintola as the Western Region Premier. Serious disagreement between Awolowo and Akintola on how to run the western region led the latter to an alliance with the Tafawa Balewa-led NPC federal government. A contrived constitutional crisis led to a declaration of a state of emergency in the Western Region, eventually resulting in the Agbekoya crisis of the late 1960s.

Excluded from national government, the position of Awolowo and his party became increasingly precarious. Akintola's followers, angered at their exclusion from power, formed the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) under Akintola's leadership. A constitutional crisis in the region led the federal parliament to declare a state of emergency in the Western region. The federal government suspended the elected Western Regional Assembly, and then reconstituted the body after controversial new elections that brought the NNDP in control. Shortly afterward, Awolowo and several disciples were charged and jailed for conspiring with some Ghanaian authorities under Kwame Nkrumah to overthrow the federal government.[6] The remnants of the Action Group fought the National election of 1965 in alliance with the largely Igbo, and south-eastern NCNC. Amid accusation of fraud by the opposition, the NPC-NNDP won the election. There were violent riots in some parts of the Western region.

See mumus wey no know their own history. No wonder they claim Odua fell from the sky.

^^^^^^^

And Omoboriowo's event and Akintola's killing all happened before the coup? Olodo rabata.

^^`Wetie is the same as Akintola's killing? What a glorified olodo

fstranger3:

That was so funny!

LMAO

^^`Wetie is the same as Akintola's killing? What a glorified olodo

Did wild wild west (wetie) happen before or after the coup? Simple answer. Before

Awo got a jail term due to wild wild west. Awo was released from Enugu prison by Ojukwu.

And Omoboriowo was a precedence for Jan 66' coup? SMH.

Even after editing your posts, you still come off as stu.pid.

Omoboriowo is not what am talking about. Wetie is not Omoboriowo. Mumu, Omoboriowo was later, also showing a second precedence of political violence and killing in your part.

Wetie saga =precedence 1
Omoboriowo saga =precedence 2
Abiola and all the June 12 killings =precedence 3
Funso Williams  and others =precedence 4
Dipo Dina and others =precedence 5
April 2011 = precedence 6

And all of these happened before the mother of all political killings in 1966?

Wetie yes; and that is the crux of my own argument. You can keep beating about the bush like the fool you are.

Wetie, even by the name, you should know was a riot. It was not a premeditated murder of political opponents, as pioneered by greedy ibo officers in 1966.

Death! Lwkmd

Must folks here always find a way of making every post an ethnic/tribal war? what's it with the regional superiority we always try to promote? na wa oh!

In a weird way, this thread just imprinted it in my mind that that singular, thoughtless, and violently selfish act (driven by greed) of Jan.15th, 1966, is the reason why Nigeria is the state its in today.

You are completely right. Nigeria was seriously whacked that day and she's not been able to recover since then. It's like a chain reaction, one bad thing leads to the other.

Now, that is all kinds of funny.

I wonder how germany and japan did it after the 2nd WW.
oh yea, they are different,

what a race we are ! !

What I posted was simply:

don't blacklist any state yet, the election is just around the corner.
no man need to pray for any blood-shed to happen
however, the ink many 'do or die' politicians will use in THUMB PRINTING
will be the blood of the innocents and their opponents.

What is the meaning of all these?
barely one week to election and all these surfacing. May God help Nigeria
