Yes, he did. So, what will anyone do now?

Gowon was the President and Commander-in-Chief, yet idiots and nincompoops have been shouting Awolowo since 1970. What did you miscreants expect, that he will give you One Million Pounds each?

VC is a political appointment , that's no big deal ...only him knew the reason I don't zik was far from perfect

So VCs Appointments shouldn't be based on merit

Sammy07:

It's a political appointment not like civil servants ...how did Prof eni njoku become a Prof in the first place

As big as any tribe in the mid Western

Which tribe is bigger than the igbos in Delta n Edo today

Benin ? How many LGA
Uhrobo how many
Ishekiri how many LGA

U here talking like igbos were minorities ?

Igbos were top 3 at most that makes up the western region

Edo people consist of Benin and Esans with some tribes.

In the old Midwestern region.
Edo people are more than Igbo people fact.

Even aside that, the combination of the whole minorities are more than Igbos.
Why would he then choose an Igbo man?
Why can't be choose from the minority?

Lolz

Sammy07:


Here is my prove.

Ooni of Ife
The Ooni with the consent of the leading Yoruba political leaders used his position to close the gaps of exploitation of divisional differences among Yorubas and tried fervently to rally the Yoruba towards a common goal. In 1962, the king acting as governor, used his power to remove the premier of the region, sensing the premier did not have the support of the majority members of the House of Assembly.

That is what A traditional ruler should do.
What did Alaafin of Oyo do?
Even if Alaafin is in support of Azikwe it should be silent not publicly.

Yet he's the head of Yoruba traditional rulers.
I hope you've found your answers.
Kindly answer my questions.

Zik party was a national party unlike awolowo . awolowo sacked alafin because he was nationalist

That was what lead zik not to form ta government with a man who can remove his brother just to hurt zik

, but you guys will be talking about Fairness and Justice, appoints and everything should be based on merit when you guys don't practice what you preach.
Then you don't need to abuse Buhari of what you are also guilt of.
Both you. (Igbos) and Fulanis destroyed this country.
Fact.

Why would u combine the minorities

The combination of all the minorities in Nigeria are they not more than igbo , Hausas and Yoruba ? Why do these 3 dominate

U have no point igbos were majority tribe in mid west could have gone to anyone

Didn't Awolowo offered Zik the position of Prime Minister?
Or Is Zik not enlighten enough that Prime minister is more powerful than the president?

Fairness n equity yes ...Lagos was our capital for heaven's sake

Anyone can be VC of unilag

Sammy07:

Would u form a government with someone who did to u what awolowo did to zik few years before then ?

U expected him to forget ? Like u expect south to forget 2015 n support yorubas in 2023 ?

Every actions have consequences

Wrong.
The combination of all minorities in Nigeria ain't more than Hausa/Fulani, Igbo and Yorubas together.

For your answer.
Ojokwu simply did what an average Igbo would do.
Which are dominating (not based on merit)
E.g
1. Ojokwu appointing an Igbo man in a Non dominated Region
2. Azikwe appoint 2 Igbo men in a non dominated region as VCs
3. Azikwe contesting where he knows little or nothing of their traditions, yet he has his (You can't eat ur cake and have it)
4. Azikwe appointing Igbo people to dominate civil service because he was the president.

mrvitalis:

Fairness n equity yes ...Lagos was our capital for heaven's sake

What about UI?
Fairness and Equity.

When was civil service examination conducted in 1960s that made Igbo people dominated civil service?

Invariably The foolish Nnamdi Azikwe is as much a bigot as the Buhari we have today ?

Was that why after the death of Herbert Marculay the bastard Azikwe wanted to be the premier of the Western region instead of nominating a Yoruba man to fill the gap ?

A day will come Igbos will pay dearly for the bigotry n hatred your life is riddled with.

South south can vote whoever they want.

If someone will enter, he will.
I didn't vote for Buhari yet he won twice.
I didn't vote for Akeredolu (2nd tenure) yet he won
Yorubas didn't vote for OBJ in 1999 yet he won.

Don't mind them like service chiefs n ministerial appointment are not political appointments.

Gbabsolutely.
Hypocrisy is what I see

In essence it is okay with Igbos for Azikwe to appoint Igbos as VC of Unilag n UI based on bigotry since you affirmed it's s a political appointment not based on merit but your hopeless tribesmen can wail their miserable souls to death over Buhari's appoint as if all his appointments are not political.

So foolish Igbo can practice n institute bigotry but your father will be running naked when others do the same thing.

Everything you need to know about 20 pounds has been answered on this thread

After which they all did

FEM!!!

mrvitalis:

LMAO Every igbo was given 20 ponds pass book or not

He also changed the currency so that igbos who saved money before would lose out

Nationalized company when he knew igbos were at the weakest

He advised against the food blockage to east causing the death of millions
This was just during the war

Awolowo hated igbos so much that he sacked alafin of oyo for being friends with zik

His hatred for igbos is very obvious now wonder he drank rat poison

awolowo changed the currency when biafran soldiers robbed the central bank of nigeria to buy weapons..
Awolowo quickly changed it to render the stolen money useless.
Don't say what you don't know igbo man...

Name ONE. Just one company he nationalized and the date.

ONE COMPANY please

The problem you folk have is bad education

You do not know how to lie intelligently

During the war Ojukwu raided the CBN in Benin and looted billions of pounds which he used to buy weapons so changing currency was perfectly logical and legitimate.

Awolowo DID NOT nationalize a single company.
That is propaganda. If you believe he did

NAME ONE COMPANY

West1side:
Is it true that Awolowo gave Biafrans who can not produce their passbook or any document proving they own a bank account with any bank in Nigeria after the Civil ?

Is it also true that during the war Awolowo saved the federal allocation belonging to Igbos and gave it to them after the war to aid their reconstruction n stabilize their state ?

If the above is true can Igbos tell us what exactly Awo did for them to hate him so much. I know some will say he starved Igbos or similar senselessness but una papa give Awo food to feed you during the war or did the UN deliver your food to Awolowo because till date Gowon that supervised the war is not vilified as Awolowo who was just a cabinet minister.

After the war Ibos wanted to exchange the Biafran pounds they printed and used during the war, for Nigerian pounds. Awo as finance minister said no (and quite reasonably too)

Ojukwu wanted to be using relief items corridor to import guns, ammunition and heavy artillery. Awo blocked that too, pointing out that it would simply prolong the war, an outcome neither side wanted. Who has ever wondered how/why Ojukwu remained chubby and fat with luxuriant beards while Ibo kids were dying of malnutrition?

Sammy07:
Pre civil war, they dominated all civil service.
Azikwe the president even appoints an Igbo man as a VC to UI and Unilag.

Ask any Igbo man if the appointments as VCs in both institutions is based on merit or sentiments.

they were appointed by merit and not by nepotism. there were no yoruba men capable of holding such position as the Igbos were ahead of them at that time.

okigbojihad:

Igbos are only ahead of Yorubas in their dreams

They keep dreaming but it never happens


Wake us up when you win A Nobel prize

Sammy07:


Answer my question nah
So Azikwe appoints two Igbo people in The two universities in South west nah merit?

Oga, Buhari is currently doing what azikwe did in 1960s

When it is them it is merit when it is others it is Nepotism

We have not forgotten Chima Igwe and the fake Phd and how Ogbonnaya Onu tried to cover him
