mekuslogan:
It is either you are tribalistic or selfish
Between Zik and Awo, Awo was a tribalist (more than Zik ever was) while Zik was a selfish person (more than Awo ever was)

Well you may say Zik selfish and he is even more tribalistic than Awo.

West African Pilot (Newspaper) been a popular newspaper then was used by Zik tribalistically.

When the agitation against the 'cocoa pool' was raging, Zik showed no interest. Also when the ban on palm kernels was imposed, the Pilot supported it. Said the Pilot:
", the measure by the Government is fair. Instead of reducing the whole country into poverty, only the Western Provinces will be affected and they can switch over to other avenues to make body and soul live."

As a result of his indifference to these two economic crises, which threatened the livelihood of the Western Region.
In other circumstances, Dr. Zik would have dipped his pen in gall, as was his wont, and on the pages of the Pilot, would have denounced the 'cocoa pool' as an 'imperialist device or strategem whose aim, object or purpose was to oppress, repress, depress and distress Nigeria cocoa producers and dealers economically'. In the same manner, he woul have vehemently declaim the ban on palm kernels in the western porvince.

An article written by Zik published on the front page of the Pilot, and entitled 'Football Illiad, 1940 Edition' shocked many people.

A football team composed of students of the Christ King's College, Onitsha came to Lagos to paly a 'Win the war' football match against St Gregory's college. The CKC team from Onitsha defeated St. Gergory's team by 5 goals to 4. To the ordinary man in the street, let alone the highly sophisticated elements, there was nothing extraordinary or unusual in in one school or college defeating another in a game of soccer. But not so with Dr. Zik. He saw in the sporting exploits and triumph of the team from Onitsha the inherent superiority of the easterners over thier opponent and he went to very great pains to establish this fact, by means of careful choosing words and emphasis. These extracts from the article are relevant:

"And to think of the great combination if tge Spartan heroes who crossed the lordly niger, journeyed through the good earht of Benin, hurried across the domains of the Oshemawe of Ondo, of the Atanla of Owo, of the Owa of Ilesha, of the Oni of Ife, of the Alake of Abeokuta in their invasion of these islands!
Who, but heroes of mighty brawn and exceptionally developd brain would have dared to make this invasion and to succeed in carrying to their River Niger home, the Golden Fleece of Inter-Collegiate Soccer Championship of the Eastern and Western Provinces?
Yet they came to Lagos, they saw the irresistible defence put up by their opponents, and they conquered impressively, convincingly, and were graceful even in victory!
Could their achievement be paralleled?
Would it not be better for me to leave the anser to the laps of the gods?"

On 24 August 1940, the same CKC team played the Olubadan XI in another 'Win the War' match. The CKC were beaten 3-2 by the Olubadan XI which were and undiluted Yoruba team. Nothing was written on the Pilot. It was after there had been clamours in the Daily Service, in form of letters to the editor, that the news of this Ibadan match was published some 2 weeks after and it was a small item on the back page. It iwas explained in it that CKC team were already tired and that some of them in fact limpimg, before they went into the field against Olubadan XI. This was of course untrue.


Some of the manners which Zik gave the achievement of the Ibo are these"

* 'Ibo Young man to Sail to U.k.' is the heading of a frontpage story and picture on September 23, 1938. The young man is Mr. Jaja Wachukwu. (Former Speaker of Nigeria 's House of Representives

* '14th West African Student, 10th Nigerian, 8th Ibo in U.S.A'
Another front page story on January 28, 1939. The 8th Ibo was Nwafor Orizu.

*'Ibo Medical student passes In First Class Honours.'
Yet another front page story, on June 26, 1940, of the brilliant success of Dr. S.O Egwuatu.

These are few examples, but against these, the achievement of Yoruba particularly and, in particular, the academic laurels of their scholers received, if at all, inconspicous notice in the Pilot.
Example, As late as 1945, two Nigerian law students iof Cambridge Univeristy, one Yoruba and one Ibo, passed the Law Tripos Examination. The Yoruba passed with Second class honours (Upper Division), and the Ibo also passed with Second class honour but with lower division. The latter got front page publicity in the Pilot, but the former got a small space given to him on the back page a few days after the report of his Ibo colleague had appeared. As for oustanding Yoruba public men, there were all of them daubed ad 'imperialist stooges' and 'Uncle Toms'.

There are still more examples. But I do like to stop here.

End of first half.
