Create a topic for that ... Face the topic and stop deviating

This thread includes how Oba of Benini was locked outside because he came late and treated with disdain in western traditional rulers council dominated by Yoruba traditional rulers..

The creation of mid-western region was vehemently opposed by Awolowo and the western region even though Awolowo worked tirelessly for and supported the creation of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR) region to be carved out from the Eastern region.

With the oil rich region now independent from Ibadan and the discovery of large deposits of crude in Rivers, Awolowo's western region would have been the poorest region after the secession of Biafra and Mid-West Region.

This is the sole reason Awolowo renegaded on his declaration to secede once Biafra leaves


Thank God for Azikiwe's intervention that liberated mid West..

Average SW person hates hearing this..

I wonder why the admins and some government agencies allows divisive threads to stand. Poster, a divided country will only lead to one thing... disaster. So keep posting. Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan and even Ukakrain are all doing well oh. Keeping doing destroying this country with your handset and data.

Stoplying:

The yoruba see history as a rival to yoruba fairytales, so they axed history.
Also Yoruba don't like the constant reminder that most of them descend from slaves.

Omo nna re colonised with the Yoruba language, Just how i loved it. Speak and hate us in our language and culture bruv. I so much love the hate. In all, all that i'm so much aware of is that while one of them have no history of anything, the other one was already civilized. Go and verify bruv

The problem with op and his likes is they don't know how to have a decorum.

You can't be using emotions to be writing something that will implicate your own region.

The purpose of this thread is to show how the then Westerners mistreated the Midwest people which made them to break away. Meaning when they requested for being alone, it was granted to them by the then Western government, no Fighting, no arrest.

I asked questions about Adaka Boro above, if the Niger Delta people wasn't mistreated by the majority dominated Eastern people which Ojukwu is the one in charge of Eastern region while Ironsi was the head of State, would they have demanded to have their own republic ?

Were Niger Delta people allowed to gain their freedom from the dominated Easterners? The answer is No but instead their leader was mistreated

Awolowo made 2 important attempt for Nigeria to have a secession clause should Incase they are tired of the contraption, Azikwe bluntly said no, for better for good.

Adaka Boro and his people got fed up about the contraption early enough, Ironsi and Ojukwu also said No, we die here together.

You sabotaged others efforts in leaving this contraption and you think those people would also allow you to go?

That dream of Biafra will continue to be a fermented palm wine tapper's dream.

You can't plant guava and be expecting to harvest apple

Why was Adaka Boro arrested?
What was his offence?
Who arrested him?

Stay on the topic for decorum sakes.

Are You still in doubt that You can never survive without Igbo aaagghh

Even if You see a thread with topic home again, You must still do Igbo aaaaghh, is this Your essence of existence??

Op You are malicious and a famous tribalist here. I wonder what You kids enjoy in all this senseless tribal bigotry

A good piece nonetheless, although an information source to back up is quite required to garnish it.

IPIB terrorists and their obsession with Yorùbás as always

Lat time i check, the yeeeeeeebos have no history pre colonial era. Even their warrant chiefs called igwe and the likes were chosen by their colonialist so i wonder who really doesn't want anything to remind them of their primitive lifestyle though.

Penguin2:
Awolowo never wanted the Midwest to become a separate region. And it’s very likely he instigated the COR (Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers) to demand for a separate region away from Eastern Region as payback for NCNC’s support for the creation of the Midwestern Region.

No matter how horrible you ibo try to paint the Yorubas. Prosperity is there to judge. No matter the trash which i'm not interested in reading you posted there one thing is for certain, Was the Bendel (The so called mid west) granted independence or not? Were they not allowed to have their own life in their hands?

Now let's talk about the minority in the ibo dominated eastern region. What happened to Adaka Boro when he deemed it fit for his non ibo people to have freedom and own their life? Why was he arrested, why were the so much loved non ibos of eastern region mostly used for target practice by the majority ibos during the civil war and other atrocities. Even till date the minority in our midst enjoy the best of freedom but same can never be said about independent ethnicity even in far away Niger Delta as you lots still try to lump them in your so called Beeeerfraud.

Yorubas believe in on Yoruba. We care less about any other group ok. We were in opposition (Thanks to all the almajiri balls that eleribu azukawe have to suck anyway), yet the most developed region still and now the most important mainstream. President and vice president. Pull that off and let's see how far you can go you primitive lots.

Efewestern:


Awolowo was too pro-Yoruba to be a leader in a diverse region like West. He only dived into the Olu Tussle because of Itsekiri's Yoruba link/ancestry. A suicidal political move that cost him a lot. He also allocated more to Ibadan with less population than Benin with higher population. His only political allies were mainly from the Itsekiri stock, that's to tell you how pro-Yoruba he's. People like Rewane stood by him till the end, while political gladiators from Urhobo/Benin rallied with Azikiwe who was also trying to weaken Awo's growing influences.

Also, you are wrong with the quoted. Awolowo never instigated the COR demand for separation. The minorities in the then Eastern region were already demanding for a separate region and the removal of Eyo-Eta strengthened their resolve for their independence. Minorities had no good anywhere. It was hell everywhere. Those in Northern received the highest slaps of injustice.

We don't want to open the cankerworm of the past, but if we are to, then we should speak the truth at all time.

Penguin2:

I think Awolowo was everything Tinubu is now, and more.

Man was very tribalistic. Tried to make Yoruba the lingua franca even to non-Yorubas like Benins and Western Igbos.

You can imagine one of the leaders of the Benin people then saying they preferred being bombed by nuclear weapon than remaining under Western Region. Do you know what can make a man say that?
