T9ksy: Below is Awo's verbatim statement on May 1 1967. Not only that, he also could have invoked Aburi accord. Instead he became active participant in the war!

DaddyCoool: Awo never wanted the war, it was forced on him by the two protagonists and as such he chose which side is more in the interest of his people. |

—In politics, Tinubu is greater than Awolowo. —But in governance and administration, no Nigeria leader dead or alive come close to Pa Obafemi Awolowo. |

T9ksy: Nonsense. Awo was simply a corrupt opportunist like most Nigerians. He couldn't resist stupendous oil money that was starting to pour in. He became finance minister to a nobody and of course mysteriously became stupendously wealthy (we can guess how). But unlike Tinubu he couldn't use it to buy presidency! |

DaddyCoool: @ bolded, above...........sure, like Dr Nnamdi azikwe became a ceremonial president to a nobody with Grade II teaching Cert. |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by DaddyCoool: 2:21pm On May 10 |
T9ksy: Exactly. Except that Azikiwe wasn't looking at oil money. He did it so the North won't have excuse to run away |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by AfonjaConehead: 2:23pm On May 10 |
He is already greater than Awo in the eyes of connies |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by T9ksy(m): 3:46pm On May 10 |
DaddyCoool: Og course, Zik wasn't after the oil money from the minority tribe in Eastern region rather he was more concerned about the fulanis leaving the union. Oh well, I guess zik- the beautiful bride from the east- got what he wanted. Now the rest of us are now in a one chance bus to nowhere. |

T9ksy: Don't blame him too much. He grew up in the North and spoke Hausa better than Igbo, lived in the West and spoke Yoruba fluently. Igbos claimed him but he was Nigerian in his mind. So what would he be if there was no Nigeria |

DaddyCoool: City boy; accepted. More detribalized; His appointments didn't show that, he doesn't even believe in one nigeria, just that he's more deceptive and crooked in his dealings. Plus a moslem; off point. 1 Like 1 Share

jude79: It's a comparison. More detribalized THAN Awo. You can't grow up Lagos and be a rabid tribalist! All North is Moslem. It's a HUGE political advantage for a person from South |

DaddyCoool: Igbo. Zik was born by Igbo parents before the Amalgamation so he was Igbo. Zik became the president of ISU- Igbo state union- a purely tribal organisation, in 1948. At the one year anniversary of ISU in 1949, Zik made a speech prophesying how ONLY his Igbo people can save Africa from the chains of bondage. Note, he did not say "Nigerians" rather Igbo "cause deep down inspite of all the platitudes about his language skills, he is still an Igbo man from Onitsha. |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by DaddyCoool: 5:50pm On May 10 |
T9ksy: I don't know what he said. Politicians can say anything to please whoever they're speaking to at the time. You go by what they DO. After his studies in US Zik never neared nor touted Igbo land except when speaking to them, after THEY chose him |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by T9ksy(m): 9:28am On May 11 |
DaddyCoool: Of course, you don't know what zik said, but you know everything Awo said |

Awolowo is only great in Yoruba land. His grandson, Seyi could not secure vote in the first week of BBN All-star competition |
Re: Can Tinubu Become Greater Than Awo? by DaddyCoool: 12:51pm On May 12 |
T9ksy: Back from ban. Have absolutely no idea why I was banned. I go by what they DID. Awo went back to Yorubaland, formed a strictly tribal group (don't want to mention name - maybe that's why I was banned), advocated regionalism or break up, and said Nigeria was "a mere geographic expression." Zik on the other hand, after his studies, went to Ghana and started "West African Pilot", joined Herbert Macaulay in non-tribal NCNC, was totally against regionalism, and would do anything to prevent break-up of Nigeria. That's what they DID! |
