When bigwig politicians were making suggestions about what should be in the Nigerian constitution in 1954, Chief Obafemi Awolowo stated that the constitution should allow any state or tribe that wanted to break up and leave Nigeria to do so.



Furthermore, Nnamdi Azikiwe, a strong supporter of One Nigeria, saw no rationale for Awolowo's suggestion and opposed it, arguing that the country should remain united till the end of time.

The participants at the conference, on the other hand, seemed very interested in the topic that Awolowo brought up and how Nnamdi Azikiwe battled it, so they granted both of them one day to clarify their positions before determining whether or not to allow secession in the constitution.

Furthermore, on debating day, Awolowo clarifies his point with several reasons. He cites the Soviet Union and Western Australia as examples of countries that allowed people to secede peacefully.



However, following Awolowo's speech, Azikiwe gives numerous reasons why he opposes it. He claims that attempting to break away and question Nigeria's unity is a betrayal of one's country and should not be considered.

Furthermore, it was reported that these topics sparked numerous debates before Oliver Littleton and Lord Chandos came to their aid, stating that permitting for secession in the constitution is not advisable.


Furthermore, this is one of the factors that led to war 967, when Ojukwu attempted to secede the Igbo people from Nigeria and the Gowon and other people opposed him because what he wanted to do violated our constitution and was treasonous.

What are the key takeaways?

The lesson learned is that our forefathers who fought for independence were willing to go to great lengths to ensure that Nigeria remained one, and we, the people of this generation, should follow in their footsteps and seek unity because there is power in our oneness

Another lesson learned is that demanding the Oodua Nation and Biafra is not permitted under our constitution. It is treasonous or may lead to a war that none of us wants.

Who wants war? If you don't want war then do what is right and stop your born-to-rule mentality.

It's injustice that breeds war

I think those cursing Lord Lugard should stop, and turn their arrows at Nnamdi Azikiwe... He started the One Nigeria campaign upheld by the politicians today.

Now his own people wants to break away…
Well, may GOD'S wish for this nation come true.

All this yoruba history.

So the word of one Azikiwe was greater than that of the suppose Sufferhisticated Awolowo,Ahmadu bello and others combine.



Even northern soldiers killed Military governor of Western Region, Col.Adekunle Fajuyi,Instead of confronting
north for killing their brother.They changed the narrative claiming that their brother asked Northern soldiers kill him.
Imagine what the narrative would have be if he
was killed by Eastern soldiers.

Why not attack the blind Azikwe that thought he was going to become the PM hence didn't want any tribe secceding under him

Same with Ironsi the drunkard that dumped the working Regional Govt and turning the country into a unitary state the moment his coup succeeded thinking he will rule forever.
6 months after fulani soldiers overthrow him and today they just like him won't go back to regional Govt
We won't be where we are today if not for the misfortune of the existence of those 2 dumb individuals

Of course the British supported him because they also wanted a bid Nigeria as their colony.

Don't blame Buhari that inherited the mess Azikwe and Ironsi created.

If the so called founding fathers were still alive to see the Nigeria of today, I doubt very much they would still be believe in "one Nigeria"

Nigeria was an experiment to see if the ethnic nationalities that the British brought together could build a united progressive nation. It has since proved to be a spectacular failure

No point carrying on with failure. No point being together for the sake of being together. It is time to dissolve this failed unity and go our separate ways rather than fighting each forever over a union that will never work

The only way it can be done is for elected representatives of the region to table a motion for constitutional amendment to accommodate referendum. The problem is that rather than piling pressure on their senators to do this they will rather kill all the promising citizens of their land and insult and abuse other tribes.

Emboldened! Nailed. Very very EMOTIONAL

GoodLord95:
Lols OP God will bless you really abundantly for digging out this history. Those sets of people from the yeast are known to be naturally greedy!.
Imagine Azikiwe opposing provision for right for secession in the constitution because he wanted to be prime minister. Imagine Ironsi whom after his successful coup, he changed Nigeria from regional government to Unitary government because he wanted to be a military ruler forever. All because of Greed, both Azikiwe and Ironsi never tasted the seat of power because of thier greediness and now thier descendants from Isyirel had to suffer for thier forefathers foolishness. Hmmm thank you once again OP may God reward you abundantly.

That same greed plaguing them led to their failure during the civil war. Imaging them oppressing the SS so terribly during the short lived and illfated Biafra, this led to their sabotage by the oppressed tribes.
Even if the get their Biafranistan today only their 5 states will go with them.

In terms of oppression and their expansionist tendencies they are far worse than the fulani they love to demonize

Nigeria was not an experiment, three regional governments were in place, SW was doing well under Awolowo until some never do well, decided to ko eran mo ero, more like trying to stop our progress around here.
Thank God the children are reaping the fruits of their fore fathers greed.

So, this is the way we are going again. The OP has chronic psychiatric disorders.

The same divide and rule that the evil Northern Oligarchy has been using to rule over the South. Yorubas, Igbos, Ijaws, Ikwerres, Kalabari, e.t.c. have all made mistakes in the past. These are the mistakes that the illiterate Almajaris that form the Northern Oligarchy have been taking advantage of to suppress the South.

Southern Unity is a must. Any Southerner that moves against any fellow Southerner in favour of the Northern Oligarchy, such Southern is a betrayer, a backstabber and a treacherous Judas. Such betrayer(s) will die miserable death because betrayers die miserably.

May that oloriburuku Azikwe continues to rot in hell fire

So what should we do about it?

So what should we do about it?

1)If we don't know the cause of our problems we are going to blame the wrong people for it

2) Once we realise our earlier point of failure getting a workable solution becomes easier.


Now that we know that Dumb Azikwe made secession criminalized in the constitution we can now with the same energy we use in abusing Buhari, appeal to our elected senators to sponsor a bill for the amendment of the constitution to accommodate a decriminalization of that part of the constitution

Innugo?
