So how did he make Awo and Balewa to accept "No seccession clause" ?
He used gun?

Yusufisraelj:


Did you read the link I sent you? While he didn't coerce any of them, the Igbos were the most progressive then, a threat just as he issued then was very potent, hence Balewa treaded carefully.

gidgiddy:


Zik accosted Awo, Balewa and Sarduana with an AK47 and at gunpoint, extracted a promise not to have secession clause put in the constitution

What's more parasitic than Oyo, Osun and Ekiti state?

Everyone is tired of the inyamris.. They are everywhere in this country but yet they are the ones calling for the division of this country.. They forgot that their entire region is less than half of Borno State.

Dr. Azikwe should not be blamed for the positions he took Pre-Nigerian independence.
All the positions he took were in the best interest of his Igbo people. He has a better understanding of the Country more than most of his contemporaries; born in Northern Nigeria to a senior civil servant father, schooled in the East, also schooled and worked in Western Nigeria. He had a better understanding of the potentials of all the regions in Nigeria and realized that his Igbo people will benefit immensely in a United Nigeria with all it's attendant benefits.
What I found hypocritical is attempts by Igbos, at rewriting history that it was the British that foisted Nigeria on them when in actual fact, it was their fathers that started the 'One Nigeria' mantra, for purely selfish reasons.

I bet your likes after one year of Biafra will change your name to MUSA or Ajayi just to gain access to Nigeria..

Ever heard of "NORTHERN IGBO" before? Ask OHANEZE.. film never even start o, una Don dey claim Northerner..

You made my day as an Igbo man.

luvsalamat1991:
i will be very happy if the people in authority agree to caved out igbo out of nigeria.but go and know all what they have invested in other region cannot be taken away to their region.you can never see people from western/northern region having a huge investing in other part of the country,because they use to envisaged things like this may hapen

san316:
This morning, I randomly asked my wife, "Do you want Igbos to remain in Nigeria or they should leave?" Without hesitation, she said "let them leave jor". That is the mindset of most Nigerians. Ask anybody that is not Igbo randomly if they want Igbos to stay, they will give you thesame response. The igbos beating their chests upandan saying we don't want you guys to leave, that is a lie. We want you guys to go and leave us alone. Just don't plunge the country into a devastating war which you are trying to do. If you have intelligent people as you claimed, they would have come up with a perfect proposal for constitutional amendment which will allow for referendum. Your elected reps will present it to the senate and house of Reps. It will be debated by your intelligent folks in the house and a favorable vote will be passed. Then you can proceed to propose a referendum in the house where only igbos will vote if they want to stay or not. Then there will be a proper delineation of the Biafra territory and everybody will go his way. If you use this chest beating approach, for 900 years, you will keep being miserable without achieving anything. Biafra will not come. Buhari cannot give you Biafra, single individual can. only a constitutional processes can be used

Igboid:


Stop taking nonsense.

Zik position on the "Secession clause" was not in capacity of Igbo leader but as NCNC leader.
NCNC was a true national party then.
Had members in North , East and West.

Zik clearly noted he was projecting NCNC position as regards to the Secession clause.

And it has to be noted that Zik never pointed guns at Awo or Balewa to accept his proposal.
They were in the end still responsible for whatever decision they took, which ended up being acceptance of Zik proposal.

So it's stupid for Unity beggars to wake up decades later and start spinning tales of how Zik and Ndiigbo foisted NO SECESSION clause on them, when Awo and Balewa could have said No to Zik but silently accepted his proposal because he made them to see reasons to do so through force of Superior argument and persuasion.

johntolu:



It is amusing hearing an Igbo man calling other Nigerians from other ethnic groups, 'unity beggars', when in actual fact, your fathers were the grand patron of 'Unity Beggars' right from the inception of the Nation.
Any Nigerian that has divergent viewpoints from you guys back then, are labeled as 'tribalist', and you guys pride yourselves as 'Nationalists', back then.

Truth be told, Azikwe never pointed guns nor hypnotized either Chief Awolowo or the Sardauna. What he did was even more gruesome and ignoble; he sold both Northern and Western Nigeria to the British because of Igbo Nation's selfish interest.

To get a clearer picture of Azikwe's ignoble role, check his narration of events why secession clause was not in the 1955 constitution;

(A)'The North (NPC) supported Action Group.
The question was then: Should we have secession?
The Colonial Office came to our rescue.
You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us'.

(B)'Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason'.

I decided to quote Azikwe's narration of events that led to the secession clause not been in the 1954 constitution, despite the insistence of both the North (NPC) and West(AG),
for unbiased Nigerians to see the extent the Igbos would go to have their way not minding the interests of other tribes in the country.
Contrary to the widespread deceits and lies of the Igbo Nations that the British and the Hausa-Fulanis were solely responsible for our 'forced marriage', it was actually the Igbos that aligned with the British to make our Federation a perpetual one with treason being the consequence of any attempt by any region, to pull out.

DedeNkem:
These tribalistic nepotistic parasitic murderous animalistic terrorists actually think Igbos are the problems Nigeria has and not them! The same hypocritical Northerners are the ones stopping Igbos from seceding. They even went to war to stop Igbos!

I wish they're serious this time around to let Igbos go peacefully by allowing the Referendum to occur! But I'm sure they won't!

AntiBeEmCe:


Who are the leaders? The ones that are feeding fat from the overripe corruption in the failed contraption?

They were not the ones that started the calls for secession...so they are not the ones that will end it.

Leaders ko...leaders leading only their stomachs.

As for the bolded => when biafra first seceded, the north ( and by that, I mean the fulanis) fought with them... firing the first missile into their new nation.

Now, biafrans have started calling again for referendum and the "North" again, has sent soldiers to come and kill nd terrorize the East in the name of keeping One-Nigeria.

And you talking arrant rubbish about the north not holding us down. Are the fulanis not the ones in power? Have they not been in power since the beginning of this contraption?

Mind ur business okay...this doesn't concern you in anyway.

Does a Nigerian needs to be a history student to know the history of the country?

I wanna know what you think I don't know about the history.

Lionofthedesert:


You are always delusional and obsessed with the North, how does the North sent Soldiers to the EAST to kill because u asking for secession ? u expect the government to fold its arm wile u keep killing security personnel and destroying public infrastruture ?

it concern me, because u r disturbing the peace of my country, yet you are out here claiming my domain as NOMANSLAND, you dont want anything to do with Nigeria, pacck your tings and leave...

That they are terrible at politics means they aren't good at anything. You need to be politically smart. No be everything be trade
