The leaders during the first republic were selected based on absolute majority at central/parliament.

Lies
Premiers were elected

Meanwhile, I was particularly talking about his UPN of second republic, which is also western dominant party. His rigid ideology and unforgiving spirit led to downfall of the then AG, under which one of his top ally in Akintola team up with Zik NCNC in subsequent elections.

What is this rigid ideology pray tell. I can bet my left eye you can't mention it

In as much as i had enormous respect for Awo and his legacy, I will give it to Tinubu as master of political strategies and calculations. A typical Awo would've cut off Buhari or ACN out of the merger, forced Akeredolu, Fayemi and co out of south west ACN. Unlike Tinubu, Awo sees others, especially Notherners as unintelligent people that are not capable enough to lead Nigeria.

Can you substantiate this. I've read almost all his books. Never heard him make such statements.

Tinubu is a patient politician, while Awo was too obsessed with egoism and charismatic authority.

Define egoism and is authority not supposed to be charismatic?

You dey mind some myopic people. Awo that offered free education to everyone living in the west irrespective of your ethnicity. If anything, Igbos who cried of tribalism, nepotism etc are the most tribalistic ethnic bigot I have ever seen both home and abroad. They always seen things from ethnic prism yet complained that are being marginalized. They pass hatred lies and civil war propaganda they were fed from generation to generation. They need to look inward, if other ethnic groups don't trust you and hate you like you people always claim, they need to ask why them.

I remember watching Genevieve movie, LionHeart, with bunch of them. The last scene of the movie didn't go down with 99% of them. They were like how could an Hausa man marry an Igbo girl. "It is sacrilegious". I asked if an Hausa man not a person? There were pretty angry.

I just de look them. Very stupid set of people. And they wonder why they will never smell presidency

Jeftliu:


Dont mind them they are lying to themselve in the EAST
their parent contributed so much for the hatred Yoruba and Igbos have for each others up till today because they refuse to tell them the truth about the story they are just angry that yoruba did not support them during the civil war but failed to tell their children how ZIK betrayed AWO to form alliance with the NORTH which made him FIGURE HEAD PRESIDENT

if their parents din tell them, can they not read history themselves, na wa o

I see your parents foolishness in you

Oyinbos exhibit such classics to show their advancement from one stage of automotive technological to another. At the moment, we have not mastered the concept of bicycle wheel spokes as a country. We need to learn to crawl before we walk.

kingjis:


I see your parents foolishness in you

like yours demonstrated for them abi?

Something wey rat go dey stay inside

Future generation of Yoruba - not future generation of non-Yoruba - will speak of Awolowo like they do of Plato et all.

Omoluabi16:
Rest on, the great Awo. Our dear hero. The future generations will speak of you like they do about Plato, Aristotle, R.descartes et Al.
If only they allowed him rule.. If only he wasn't cheated at the polls.

Ayesolve:
Chief Obafemi Awolowo's private car. The
car toured the whole states of Nigeria in the
year 1979 and 1983 during the presidential
election campaigns.

Awo! The sage who was ahead of his time. Yeah.

yemmit90:


Exactly, he was the only visionary leader Nigeria has ever produced. He would've been successful if not for his too much love for south west and regional politics.

This is what differentiates him and Tinubu. Unlike Tinubu flexible/accommodating style, Awo political ideology is too rigid, conservative, and meritocratic for the then corrupt military government to have confidence in.

Are you talking for the sake of talking,so it won't be you did not talk?
Were you alive and conscious when he was around?
Conservative how? Do you know the meaning of the word?
Awolowo was not conservative in his political ideology,he was socialist
He is the only civilian that was number 2 in a military government
What do you mean by Tinubu as flexible accommodating? You mean stealing and corrupt?I
People were loyal to Awo not because of money
In 4 years Jakande established LASU,built30000 houses,road to Epe,move Lagos Poly to permanent site , Ikorodu General hospital,Gbagada General Hospital,what did Tinubu achieve?
Jeun soke? Bullion van? Cowardice, where are the cows? MCOLUOMOISM? drug dealing?
Do his children school in Lagos? When his wonky knees needed surgery did he do it in Lagos?
Yoruba are support Tinubu because of ethnicity period

That is not true
The car did not tour Nigeria
Awolowo travelled to several places by helicopter or plane
How many motorways were in Nigeria in 1979?
PH Enugu was not dualized
Many kids imagine Nigeria looked the same today then. Not so
Even PH airport at Omagwa did not exist.
