Yes, elders from Mid west and later Bendel state testified that he was actually a tribalist, that way and manner he treated the non Yorubas in then western Nigeria ,led to the creation of mid west region in 1963. He discriminated against other tribes and had serious hatred for the Igbos due to the division of his region, because he felt they incited the people to call for mid west region. He was more of Regional leader than Nationalist as claimed, he shared that quality sectionalism with Buhari.

No it's you Igbos that are just exactly like the fulani...... you're only pissed that you aren't the oppressor. The great Awo had the interest of his people at heart and knew that a nigerian state was not doable reason why he opted for the succession clause but the stupid zik because of his greedy igbo nature, false sense of grandeur and nazi like ideologies stood against Awo thinking it would benefit him and his half wit stupid tribesmen....we all know how that ended... you call Awolowo who pitied you subhumans with £20 evil when Nnamdi Azikiwe onced called Ojukuwu and your biafra forefathers rebels and begged France to stop sending aid to you idiots. you Igbos are pathetic victim complex fools. Yoruba's will always live rent free in your flatskulls.

It's a serious problem. It's easier to blame an outsider than someone in your backyard, who may have been responsible for your problems. They should ask their relatives and politicians who fought for secession then, why they did so if a significant number of their people were enjoying their lives so much. Maybe it was just a group of bitter politicians who felt their people were wronged because they were denied certain political positions. It's disappointing that the majority of these politicians do not understand the difference between personal interest and regional/national interest. It's even more disappointing that the people cannot/will not realize it when their leaders are full of shit.

BSdetector:


God bless you....I don't understand some of the shit this people talk at times....you voted to leave the region but you're angry that you were kicked out of the region....same as most igbos; you want biafra and freedom for Igbo land but you don't want to leave Lagos.....imagine the children of Isreal saying they want to leave Egypt but still want to remain in Cairo.... they're a seriously confused set of human beings.

tamdun:
He introduced ethnic politics because he did not allow nnamdi Azikiwe to rule Yoruba people? I swear flat skulls are too greedy and u people will never learn from ur mistakes

Yourubas have not learned from being enslaved by the Fulanis!

Aka foundation of tribalism over nationalism.

Did you every hear of George Washington fight more for his village over the intrest of the freedom and future of the United states?

Or Jefferson push only tribal sentiments (and make no mistakes there are tribes, beliefs, traditions, and cultures within the US as trump has managed to bring out).

Bottom line is Nigeria was doomed from inception because we had founding fathers who belived more in the importance of the part than the whole.

And That's the definition of tribalism

Bro this is not tribalism, do you think there is anything real called Nigeria? No, Yoruba is a nation, Igbo is a nation, Hausa/Fulani is a nation. All of us were forced on one another by an everlasting rotting British dictator in Lord Lugard. We have nothing in common in terms of culture and tradition, that's what makes a nation a nation, this thing we have is a cheating

Sincerely...they're something else, they'll brag, go out and shit the bed and blame Yoruba's for it like we're their fathers....they never take responsibility for their actions and think they know it all and are perfect at stuff when they aren't worth shit. God help us all.

An average Igbo man hates Awolowo because as Minsiter of finance, he fought Biafraudn people with his economic strategy and he won...

NYamiri is the slogan that can never be forgotten in Igbo land. ..

As usual an ordinary Yoruba man can't talk without insults. Free your self from hate or die like him. I won't reply you again.

I'm very young and know little about History... Please someone should please suggests me books to read on scandalous topic as this.


Educated folks without Biases please!!!...

He really introduced tribalism in Nigeria .
I'm sure where ever he is now the devil is roasting his scrotum and kidney.

Such a wicked man

Because, he didn't allow Zik to take over Western region abii. Okay if he had allowed Zik in Western Region, of what use would that have been, since Zik disappointed even his people by romancing with the North. Truth be told ,Awo did not play a good role during the war, but he was not an angel.

What role do you expect him to play Please tell me ....help Ojukwu invade Lagos or what exactly do you people want from him....Awo has been the scapegoat of the word of the civil war despite not being a soldier......Others like Gowon, obj, ogbemudia, adaka Boro , muritala, even Pa Edwin Clark have been excluded from the blame of the woes the ibos suffered during the civil war even though they played a major part in the event that occurred

ZIK AND AWOLOWO: WHAT THE IGBO SHOULD UNDERSTAND

Parliamentary election was held in Nigeria on the 12th December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government. Zik’s National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon 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 73 seats. However, the Ahmadu Bello’s Northern People NPC) came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the HousCongress (e 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 humble 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 has more public votes and seats than Awolowo’s own 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. Unknown to Awolowo, the talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group hopes high, so that the party (Action Group) would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks. These minor parties included the Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independent 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 upnorth and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC). Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figurehead Governor –General. Even Nkurumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and 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 in the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians. Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team , namely: Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin and Dr Olorunnibe 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, the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others.
This amongst others will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo’s offer of a coalition government in 1953 and instead worked with the Fulani. The Fulani had been reading Zik and Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since. The Fulani way of neutralizing 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 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 accounted for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-Western Region. Zik’s hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria. The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik’s mistakes in 1966. and unfortunately, they killed other ethnic group leaders and left theirs, and this resulted in the civil war. Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani, Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo. However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England. Not many Igbo, especially the young ones, know this narrative. I don’t think the Yoruba, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spot? No. the Igbo people have always voted for the Fulani since 1959 and continue to do so. And unfortunately so, the Igbo people have always hated the Yoruba ever since and continue to do so.

Tajbol4splend:
Why should Awo care about an Igbo man, what is the business of werey and asinwin together, Awolowo was representing Yorubas and only Yorubas and fighting for their interest.

You don't have to be an ethnic bigot because your only concern is the people you represent

It literally makes you the man of your people and not that of someone from Nnewi or Sabon Gari

it is his paranoia about Igbo people that made him turn around and fight ojukwu and missed the chance to be the first president of the oduduwa republic just because of a minister of finance appointment,just what is going on now,if those two men are resurrected and the events rewound I don't think awolowo will forfeit the chance to declare oduduwa.

Juliusmalema:
Awolowo thought he could poke nature without consequences, of course he died shamelessly by taking rat poison ( Personal and inflicted suicide) regretting his actions...

He introduced ethnic politics. That is what you can glean from the write up. Right? Ofcourse your coarse mind cammot process what the writer intended. And maybe he introduced ethnic politics. What about that? I guess he saw something other dull Southern politicians and leaders of his time did not see; that the Northern leaders (especially Fulanis) were devils who had conquest in their minds. He knew it. He saw it. And is it not manifesting today?

I was opportuned to see a video on youtube. The video was filmed in 1957. It was a debate among African students convened by an American moderator. The students were 4 in number in that debate. They came from Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia and South Africa. Yhe SA kid was the only whithe boy in their midst. The moderator inquired about racial amd ethnic prejudices in Africa apparently targetting the SA boy. I was shocked when it came to the Nigerian kid to talk. He was of Northern extraction, spoke excellent English and showed evidence of good education, which makes me wonder what happened to the North of today. But what he said shocked me the more. He did not hide his disdain for Southern people, especially Christians. He said he was prejudiced about them. In 1957! All the respect I had for him disappeared.

Now who wants to be in the same country with people like that? Who would not want to beat an escape route for his people if he were a true leader? Now is his fears not happening? After years of misrule by Northerners, they want to crown it with all these?

As for taking sniper, your comments simply shows how silly and ignorant you are. And its only a testimony to the mutual hatred that all tribes have for each other in Nigeria PLC especially the Fulanis.

You have spoken the truth sir. Much respect. Nobody Igbo on this forum is gonna like your post because you hit the nail on the head. You just burst their bubble. Small wonder the Fulani are determined not to allow the Igbos get the power back. And no wonder they are always the 1st to scream betrayer against Awo and Yorubas so vehemently because they want to distract others from actually researching and discovering the truth. God bless you sir.

You are muddling things up here. The Igbos betrayed him first.

Oghene1st:


Why did Midwest break out of western region? Why did he change the Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of warri because of the similarity between Yoruba and Itsekiri. I'm a Midwesterner and a Deltan. If you like talk anyhow, we know how to handle una and una leaders. Ask how Midwest comot from western region and became the only recognised region via referendum. Or ask Tinubu how we handle am. Una go see truth dey hide am. How Awolowo denied majority of Midwesterners scholarship and gave almost all slots to Yoruba and how Odje fought for the Urhobos and keep travelling to Ibadan to ensure transparency. Anyway the Midwest got fed up when you ass licking maggot tried to make Yoruba language compulsory in all schools and some of other excesses. If you like call am beer parlour gist.

Your knowledge of history is either zero or dull.

My only problem with Awo is the 20 pounds thing. Why would he give somebody free money like that? He cheated other Nigerians to please the ingrates.

omoharry:
Stop defending bad leaders, as they wont be there to defend you when you need them. Defend only leaders that can stand for you and ever ready to bleed for their people when there is security issues(like the Fulani assault on the people of south west) in the Land. Tinubu is a coward and I know so many hungry guys like you who have continued to ass lick him becos the crumbs he throw at you people.
As for Ibori ,Okowa and Udughan, these are corrupt men and a big disappointment to the people of Delta State ( Ibori tried during his time but he is a corrupt. Though he have serve his punishment but he has continued to claim that he not corrupt, which is laughable ) And can never see me defending them, becos I know who they are.Delta state and the whole of the South South, Deserve better.
You on the other hand, is here defending this corrupt and greedy man that has kept mute over the killings of his people by Fulani headmen , and enabled by Pres Buhari. A man he helped put into power because of his ambitions. Now He cannot speak out of fear and when he does, he speaks with both side of his mouth, so as not to offend the power that be. He is not a hero but a coward.
Your kind are the reasons why these corrupt politicians will continue to steal and impoverish your people, becos of low life like you, who are ever ready and willing to die for these politicians any time any day. While their children are sent abroad with your stolen money or given juicy positions in govt Institutions , lording over your sorry ass, while you continue to pick crumb of bread that fall from their tables.
May God will give money and wealth, so that you will stop killing your conscience in supporting wicked leaders and stand with your people to pick out good leaders that are worthy to be in power and provide the needed welfare and security that the people desire..

Nobody even knows what you people want. Awo wasnstrong and courageous for his people you say he was tribalist. Tinubu wants to be president of the whole of Nigeria, you say he is a coward and greedy. I don't know ehy everybody is reasoning like Fulani herdsmen.

" The great Awo had the interest of his people at heart and knew that a nigerian state was not doable reason why he opted for the succession clause.........."

He advocated for secession clause in 1953 but when the actual secession occurred (Eastern Region) in 1967, he ferociously fought against it. What a contradiction!

BSdetector:


No it's you Igbos that are just exactly like the fulani...... you're only pissed that you aren't the oppressor. The great Awo had the interest of his people at heart and knew that a nigerian state was not doable reason why he opted for the succession clause but the stupid zik because of his greedy igbo nature, false sense of grandeur and nazi like ideologies stood against Awo thinking it would benefit him and his half wit stupid tribesmen....we all know how that ended... you call Awolowo who pitied you subhumans with £20 evil when Nnamdi Azikiwe onced called Ojukuwu and your biafra forefathers rebels and begged France to stop sending aid to you idiots. you Igbos are pathetic victim complex fools.

Actually the head of the eastern region at the time was a SS minority. He waa displaced by zik after the whole western region issue died down

I can imagine that. Very tribalistic man indeed.

Oghene1st:


And he was against self determination by the Igbos? Go and research about the politics played by Midwest politicians. Awolowo was against it. It was a sound political exercise by Midwest leaders. And after the referendum, you guys drove the midwesterners out of Ibadan and that is respect for self determination? You all can lick his ass but you see mudwesterners, they don't even talk about him.

Hmmm, I will like to see the proofable evidence of this o. I hate people lying. Even during the war, no one chased Igbos away, they left themselves,so who are Midwesterners. I need proof.
