Ojiofor: Majority of ndi Igbo do not condemn Zik rather Zik is being celebrated by Igbos annually, a section of those that condemn Zik are delusional Biafra agitators..Yes Zik was a foremost nationalist who wanted a united Nigeria so did Awo and Ahmadu Bello.There is no way Zik could have imposed his will on those two other regional leaders who were co founding fathers of Nigeria..... Zik did not have executive powers to do so. Are you telling us that Zik forced one Nigeria on the West and North how did he do it? . Zik brought education,enlightenment and development to Igboland and during that time Igbos were occupying very important positions in Nigeria political military space...
If you do not know, Zik was the reason Biafra was recognized by some African countries he lobbied the leaders of those countries based on his personal relationship with them as former president of Nigeria and he was using his personal contacts in OAU to secure a peace deal between Nigeria and Biafra but do you know what?Ojukwu went to Addis Ababa and told the whole world that Biafra sovereignty is not negotiable even when he knew he was losing.
At that time Zik felt betrayed because that wasn't his plans with Ojukwu and Zik have to abandoned him and went to exile in UK and the rest is history.Before you blame Zik, did your fathers ever protested that they do not want to belong to Nigeria before Nigeria got her independence and Zik insisted they must remain in Nigeria? Every Igbo man then was pro united Nigeria from Ojukwu who ignored his father's advise and joined military in order to serve Nigeria to Nzeogwu and to all our political leaders until the Northern counter coup happened.My point is that before that coup ndi Igbo were very happy being part of Nigeria so why blame Zik? Ojukwu and Gowon mismanaged the crisis and sent us to war they deserve the blame for Nigeria problems more than anyone else.
The Biafra war set ndi Igbo backwards and I do not think it was Zik's fault.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has shared how he attempted to break the Guinness world records, while praising the Igbo tribe as Mercantile Class in Nigeria.
Ojiofor: The time Zik was the leader of the Igbo nation was best time ever in the history of ndi Igbo until Ojukwu was appointed governor of Eastern region things fall apart.. I know you are a student of useless radio Biafra London.
Bobloco: Learn from Tinubu, the notorious narcotics trafficker, certificate forger, and buccaneering power grabber engaging in criminal state capture, who built Lagos from scratch and has now become the worst president Nigeria has ever had
SmartPolician: That's not true. Chibuike Amaechi is by far the best governor of Rivers State since 1999. For instance, the kinds of schools that man built you couldn't see them anywhere in the country at the time.
Former Governor of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili, has described Governor Siminalayi Fubara, as a young, resilient, humble, irreplaceable and greater fighter for the good of Rivers people.
