gidgiddy: Ojukwu and Azikwe were the biggest hypocrite for trying to steal Edo and Yorubaland under the guise of Biafra. Igbos soldiers attack Yorubas in ore before Awolowo joined forces with Gowon. Igbos created the Nigerian mess out of greed and are the greatest beneficiary of the unitary system. Now your fraudster leaders have caged kanu to end your false biafran agitation ,only to support another fulani in 2023 presidency and take your usual houseboy job beside fulani. If Nigeria splits today,hausaland will be greater than Igboland. 4 Likes |

gidgiddy: Don't assume please, because zik truly opposed the inclusion of secession clause in our constitution then and even went further to threaten any one with such notion with treason. Decade later, the same ibos ( who insisted on no secession clause in our constitution) now want to secede from the union they midwifed and expected Awo, whom you all colluded with your fulani masters, to incarcerate in 1963 on treasonable felony charges, to support your self-determination struggle.

T9ksy:Pre Independence Constitution no secession law, 1960 Constitution, no secession clause, 1963 Republic Constitution, no secessionist clause, 1979 Constitution no secession clause, 1999 Constitution, no Secession law, so where did this ipob & Oduduwa foreigners get their secessionist claim of separate Nigeria from? |

AZIKWE HAD ALWAYS WANTED A UNITARY GOVERNMENT TO ENABLE HIM OCCUPY AT LEAST SOUTHERN NIGERIA. WHEN YOU'RE IN A VANTAGE POSITION, YOU ARE IN THE LOOTERS' CLUB AND SO WANT ONE NIGERIA. THE MOMENT YOU'RE OUT OF POWER, YOU SEE GOVERNMENT FROM THE GRASSROOTS AS THE ONLY OPTION. 1 Like |

gidgiddy:Awolowo wanted a peaceful and bloodless secession through referendum backed by law while Ojukwu launched a secession through a violent means that was sure to be accompanied by bloodshed. So exactly how was Awolowo a hypocrite for not keying into the violent and bloody method of Ojukwu? Moreover, at the beginning of the Biafran secession project Ojukwu gave Zik a top position in which Zik was calling the shots in Biafra - the same Zik who had all before then sabotaged all Awolowo's efforts to make a case for secession. Now, put yourself in Awolowo's shoes and honestly ask yourself if you would agree to work in a secession project right under the supervision of a man who had been sabotaging your own efforts towards the same secession to the extent that he caused the colonial authorities to threaten you with charges of treason for pushing for the same secession earlier on. Thirdly, Ojukwu was the inconsistent fellow because he himself had initially attacked Isaac Adaka Boro for trying to pull out of Nigeria, killed over 150 of his soldiers and forced him back to one-Nigeria with federal military might only for him (that same Ojukwu) to declare secession and expecting Isaac Boro to support him. Were you expecting Awolowo to believe that such a character was trustworthy and reliable for a joint secession bid? 3 Likes 1 Share |

AntiBMC:Wrong! Zik read Anthropology from the prestigious Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, USA and by virtue of the course content he knew better than every of his contemporaries that there was no basis for a tightly bound union defined by the absence of freedom to secede in an ethnically heterogeneous country with opposing cultures and value systems. Also, while schooling in the US he saw with his own eyes that the country wasn't a tightly bound union hence made tremendous progress onto being a world power on account of that structure. So cut this crap of manufacturing excuses for Zik's dubious one-Nigeria dream which was nothing other than a subterfuge for his Igbo domination agenda that ended up boomeranging on you his brothers with deadly consequences. AntiBMC: All expansionist projects go with bloodshed whether directed or not. Didn't Zik's brothers later go on a killing spree of all other tribes in the name of Jan15 1966 so-called revolution? AntiBMC:Don't tell me you are this much of a comedian. Are you suggesting that Zik wasn't aware of the massacre of thousands of his kinsmen in Jos in 1945 in Kano again in 1953 while he was opposing secession clause in 1954? AntiBMC: No time has changed except you want to be economical with the truth. Killings had always been in Nigeria since amalgamation. I just gave you two instances now. Even right during Ironsi's government there was massive killing of Igbos in the North yet he and Zik continued to fantasize a non-existent national unity to the extent of Ironsi promulgating Unification and Anti-secession Decrees and using federal military might to crush Isaac Boro's secession attempt. What made you Igbos change tune to secession agitation wasn't the killings of your brothers in the North but the ousting of Ironsi from power and the total foreclosure of the hope of Igbos ever ruling again. AntiBMC:Britain's resistance to secession was aided by Azikiwe's moral support. All the British needed to criminalize secession was just a one dissenting region to the idea and they found that in the Eastern Region represented by Azikiwe. Six years after Britain's departure, Aguiyi Ironsi another Easterner promulgated Anti-secession Decree and got Isaac Adaka Boro sentenced to death by hanging for attempting secession, and you keep on blaming Britain? Was Aguiyi Ironsi a British man? AntiBMC:But didn't they give you an opportunity to debate secession clause and your kinsmen led by Azikiwe killed it on the floor of the parliament? AntiBMC: Theirs was without bloodshed because they allowed it in their constitution unlike ours where the likes of your very kinsmen made sure it didn't make it into our laws just because you felt such a provision would hinder your domination agenda. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kdon2: Awolowo is the greatest Nigerian to ever live, even greater than MKO. That man is not celebrated enough. He would have made Nigeria Africa’s Switzerland and mostly sheded the slave trade colonial name bestowed upon us if he had made it to the presidential seat. Now to our blodas to the east know that you will continue to suffer for Azikiwe and Ojukwu’s sins until you repent and change your ways. A word is enough for the wise. 2 Likes |
