PointB:

"Nigeria is a mere geographical expression." - Awolowo.

By the statement Awolowo "saw" that Nigeria will continuously struggle to be a country, which each component striving for it's agenda and identity, never truly realising their potential in the geographical enclave.

Awo grudgingly accepted that reality. Ojukwu saw the same thing; he saw the mass murder in the north and the born to rule mentality and realise it won't go away soon but would rather be entrench as a system.

Ojukwu and acted, but Awo for some well discussed obvious reasons reneged on his early believe.

Today here we stand discussing the same thing the saw ages ago.

We are one country in body, but never in soul and spirit: and some will do whatever necessary to sabotage the country. PIB is languishing in the NASS exactly because Niger is a mere geographical expression. Awo and Ojukwu definitely saw this. In action lies the difference.

@OP

It will be glorified futile attempt to educate you on what ”Ojukwu and Co” saw about cesspit called Nigeria if at this stage of your life it still blows aimlessly over your skull.

They say “ a fool at 40 is bound to be fool forever”.

Ojukwu did not see anything. Shortly after the war, when the oil boom came and Udoji came and Nigeria seemed headed for being an economic power, Ojukwu and Biafra was quickly forgotten. And he would have been permanently forgotten if the millitary did not mess up Nigeria afterwards.

i agree wit u on going through some history a second time, because b4 the oil boom awareness there was calm in Nigeria's politics, once the oil came these ibo tried to be too smart, the north must av seen this ambition in the ibos and i quess that was enough to make the north aggrieved and heigthened the tension between north and the east.
The ibos wanted to quickly ensure a upper hand in the race eliminating the yorubas (who used to be allies with the ibos) along with thier northern rivals.
Thanks so much . . . .lol

asha 80:

you have no idea about your history

sheyguy:

What do you mean by "you have no idea about your history" there the oil was discovered well before independence however it took some years for full awareness of it full potential on our economy and the scope of it availability, it took time for everybody to really realize its full implication if there should be a break up of Nigeria into northern and southern Nigeria. Asha 80 have u Iboo guys twisted that part of History also? ? ?, please oh don't oh . . . . for ND sake, . . .lol

asha 80:

i do not have time for you and your cohorts ethnic bashing here.i simply wrote that if you think at before 1956 that there was no tension in nigerian politics(even before independence as the whites were still in charge)then you do not know your history

The ibos wanted to quickly ensure an upper hand in the race by eliminating the yorubas (who used to be allies with the ibos and will potentially shorten their ration) along with thier northern rivals.
Thanks so much . . . .lol

sheyguy:

u beta have the time mr. ibo clown pretending to be a decent NLder, the whites where still in charge but there was tension already the ibos/yorubas against northerners in kano. I warned u not to twist history and u did, i guess that's just who u r.

asha 80:

how do you coorelate the bolded with the bolded below

if there was calm in nigeria politics before oil boom as you said initially how come you are now saying there was tension already btw the igbos/yorubas against northerners    are you organising your thoughts well 

sheyguy:

dullard . . . . i meant there was calm "relatively". Meaning that though the awareness of competion 4 oil was there shld there b a break up as proposed earlier. The ibos actually jumped the gun and they are living to regret it today. . . . .it's no one's fault but the ibos'.

asha 80:

see who is calling someone dullard  someone that cannot organise his thoughts well  ,from 'there was calm' to meaning relative calm.if it was an exam you will just fail.

haha living to regret it?if only nigeria was a developing(forget developed) country and progressing well then your assertions would hold water but in this situation we all are in? we will all enjoy it together.after all poverty index across the 6 zones proves it.

are you talking about being president?hehe i can see how northern presidency has changed the life of the average guy in the north or how obasanjo's presidecy changed the southwest to eldorado or how jonathan's presidency has turned your niger delta to dubai.
