Obi broke federal law, on declaration of assets.. There's no report of stealing or embezzlement, that's the angle that should be known... The assets cited were already in existence prior to his inauguration
Alexbells, Igboid, Eastlink and maybe horsepower. Are the only realistic Igbos on Nairaland...
You can't be Pro-Biafra and then decide to be deluded. When the Igbos in the SS look at the results or gains of IPOB in the SE does it look attractive? Or something to join? It's failure.
IPOB should truly understand And Be civil.
With IPOB style this agitation can last 20yrs and still no Biafra and the Maltreatment On the SE will get worse.. The more IPOB fails the worse it gets for the SE.. IPOB should stop failing or they should stop trying.
Here's a test for all IPOB members, Take a look at the activities of UGM and ESN in the South East with the eyes and senses of a Non IPOB mentality and judge if they're doing the right thing.
Who’d have thought a day will come when education students( the most looked down upon faculty in any Nigeria university) will get allowance and automatic employment..
Omoluabi1stborn: They make similar statement but who started it?
”Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile).
Why do you think Egbe omo oduduwa and Action group were formed in 1948?
Except you provide a earlier tribal and divisive comment that was made and recorded in the politics of southern Nigeria pre 1945.
That was the first tribal comment in Southern Nigeria.
Why do you think Zik lost the premiership of the Western Region in 1953 to AG?
TheSupleemLeada: He was doing the bidding of the british because they had him in a cvckhold and which ever leader allied with the colonizers had their tribes men to benefit alot from such relationship.... there's a reason igbos populated the civil service pre-independence and even during ironsi's time. Also Ironsi and Zik where close friends and ironsi's actions after the first coup said it all. I won't suggest or recommend any material, research yourself and make your deductions but it seems you've already done that.
You call what the British had with Zik a relationship?
It's like drug dealer forcing one to transport drugs or he'll be exposed to be murderer..
That's not a relationship.
All the materials I've seen on Ironsi, showed he was sitting duck waiting to be killed.. What a dumb dumb soul.

I agree But All that doesn't really matter since the British were playing our leaders
”Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey Mwakikagile).
”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949).
Yes I've read all that... What Tribal leader didn't make similar statements like that be honest!!!
Bello and balewa did Zik did Even Awo and akintola
TheSupleemLeada: Zik was no nationalist. He only pushed for one Nigeria because he had the rettarded idea that he could manipulate the north and have his tribesmen dominate all spheres of Nigeria, same idea ironsi had when he banned regionalism. We all know how that ended.
Zik was simply doing the British bidding isn't that right? So How Does that benefit his tribesmen He was out to save himself isn't that right?
Nope Ironsi had no idea, he didn't even do anything for his tribesmen...
Do you have any material on the 6 months reign of Ironsi? I need some
That's a video of Harold Smith(a former british colonial officer) he over saw elections in pre-colonial nigeria and shared his thoughts on Awo, Enahoro and your beloveth Azikiwe, If you have data watch it and educate yourself.
Below is Obed-Edom Azikiwe father of Nnamdi Azikiwe seated at the left side of lugard. He was nigeria's very first Uncle Tom and loyal slave assistant to lugard. The issue with must of you Igbos apart from high levels of group narcissism is the fact that you find it difficult to take responsibility for your actions and hold your leaders accountable..... there's always an outside force you'd find to blame.
Haven't seen that video before, Zik wasn't nationalist he was just a crook? Too bad
In the Constitutional Conferences held in London and Lagos, the British had woven in a caveat that if any Region of the country expressed opposition or unreadiness for Independence on October 1, the independence would be postponed indefinitely. In the pre_independence election conducted by the British on December 15, 1959 the following results were obtained:
NCNC_NEPU Alliance scored a total of 2,595,577 votes to capture 73 seats. The Action Group_UMBC Alliance scored 1,922,364 votes to capture 73 seats. The NPC scored a total of 1,992178 votes to capture 142 seats.
It may be said that Awolowo showed bad faith or extra smart politics by offering simultaneously to the NCNC and NPC the option of Prime Ministership in an alliance with the Action Group provided he could be made Minister of Finance. Zik could have accepted Awolowo’s offer and became the Prime Minster, but considering the threat which the NPC had expressed that if the Prime Ministership did not come to the North, they would stop Independence on October 1, 1960, he patriotically sacrificed the opportunity.
He said that his primary objective in the nationalist struggle was for Nigeria to be free and independent. Indeed he reflected this in his speech after being sworn is as Governor_General when he said “consumatum est”.
THANK YOU
I'm not disputing Zik was a nationalist, but the false notion that Zik forced Awo and balewa to stick to Nigeria..
He brought up an opinion and the North saw reason with him, likewise the west eventually..
Just Sad Zik aided the north from a suicidal secession with words, but the same North payed that back with bullets and bombs.
TheSupleemLeada: Zik's father was a close friend of lord lugard. Stop embarrassing yourself. Plus zik was a corrupt man who took up loads of personal debts that made the british blackmail him. 95% of the problems igbos are facing is largely the fault of their leaders.
Lmao... Awo is the nephew of lord lugard, even balewa is the estranged cousin of lord lugards wife.. See all nonsense, anyone can say nonsense.. I do agree Zik, Ironsi, Nzeogwu aren't celebrated by any Igbo clan because they're faulty.. But The purpose of this thread is false pending proof.. I'm here to learn not argue pointlessly
This is what happens when you are too lazy to read and do research.
1. Awo and Northerners wants secession include in the constitution
2. British opposed it and doesn't like the idea
3. Zik also opposed it
4. Since zik opposed it, it gave the British upper hand, had it been the zik did not opposed it. The British would be left with no choice
If I ask you to provide me proof your stance now can you? I'm willing to learn
Still no record of any revolt regards that decision. Lmao, I've done as much research needed to have an opinion.. If zik and the British were such pals, they should have made him prime minister..
IPOB should rest they've been outsmarted, and Outplayed by FG.. Time to Disband IPOB. , Prior to the Unlawful capture of Nnamdi kanu, I always thought he was the reason for the unproductivity of IPOB.. But since his capture shockingly turned out he was even the smartest of all IPOB members.. It's sad that all Biafran ThinkTanks left IPOB to be ran by Charlatans... That's the reason for the implosion of IPOB
Funny enough Nigeria's debt is just getting started, buhari still has more billions to borrow.. Even his successor will tow the same line, because at 61 we ain't productive
ItsTutsi: This is a retaliation and reprisal affair, stop trying to portray SK as the victim!! Hausa/Fulani are being attacked and killed too, but ur likes and media don't report it
