Christistruth00: The southwest was ready for independence. A region that could have its own tv station before Spain and France was definitely ready. The north has always been backward, and Britain deliberately planted them to retard Nigeria's progress as a punishment for the guts of Awo and other southern activists to stand up to them (the f**king Brits). 6 Likes |

Awolowo was a victim of vicious betral by Azikiwe and the Igbos. Azikiwe betrayed Awolowo because he couldn't become the Premier of Western region. Azikiwe in partnership with the North led the Division of the Powerful Western Nigeria region into Mid-West ( Delta-Edo) to steal Crude oil of the West to the North and East using the ethnic Minorities as tools. Awolowo premier of Western Nigeria region was building sky scrappers, building universities and industries while the North and East concentrated on Nepotism, Religious bigotry, Corruption and Military coups to steal the resources of the productive West. Today the IGR of the West is stolen Oil Wells stolen Development stunted Poverty very high Seaport and resources all stolen and taken one way or the other by the North and East. The Western Region must be restabliahed and the Constitution truncated by the East which is the Regional Constitution must be brought back. 4 Likes |

yemmit90:The British did not want someone as intelligent and wise as Awolowo, a brilliant lawyer and prolific author of political books to become the Head of State of NIgeria. They were scared by his outstanding achievements as the first Premier of the Western Region. He gave scholarships to Yorùbá students to study overseas and prepared them for nation building. That is the why the Western Region is the most advanced region in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

olas24u: Actually, Buhari also had an example in that short period. His policies were bad, things got expensive , the economy was in the mud. People pointed it out to us then , but majority never listened. We were only obsessed with the disciplinary nonsense he displayed then, and the APC media team used it to overshadow his bad performance as a military head if state. Infact, it was one if the reasons that he got overthrown as an head of state and only spent a very short time of 2 yrs. Ian summary, the red flag was there , as regards his handling of the economy, but people ignored it, thinking that fighting corruption will automatically translate to good economy 2 Likes 1 Share |

Who are the Yoruba man who stood their grounds when Ojukwu ran off? And when did he ran off as a LovePeddler through border and which border? Can we conduct a survey to ascertain among Ndigbo whether they support your hypothesis that Ojukwu "sacrificed 3 millions of his kinsmen" BSdetective: |

"Awolowo recognized this and moved for a secession clause to be included in the new constitution BUT Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it and even reported Awolowo to the British as a saboteur - infact he personally wrote section 86 which makes any move for secession a treasonable offense" Question #1 Do you understand the word " rejected"? How did Azikiwe reject the inclusion of secession clause when he was not in charge of the process of determining the inclusion or rejection of the secession clause in the constitution? Question #2 When did Zik personally write section 86? 27Pushing30: |

phemmyfour: Why then are they screaming that they joined two unrelated regions together? The South and the North made efforts? By the way, we don't calculate British colonialism when Nigeria came into existence. We calculate it when the influence of British imperialists started in the areas now called Nigeria. |

olas24u: DMerciful: Cromagnon: Christistruth00: Enceladus: There is oil then there is oil. Oil boom in Nigeria occurred well after the British left. And even first measly oil production in 1958 occurred well after the British had already committed and promised to leave. If it wasn’t for the oil boom Nigeria would have gladly let Eastern Nigeria go or at least have a confederation. East would not have been worth fighting for. Same way, if Britain were in charge when oil boom arrived they would NEVER have left, unless they totally detest tons of cash, which we know they don’t! |
