Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello shared the same ideas about Nigeria in the period leading to Independence:

1. They both wanted completely autonomous regions of North for Northerners, West for Westerners and East for Easterners. Nnamdi Azikiwe accused them of tribalism. He claimed that he wanted 'One Nigeria', but what he wanted was a Nigeria where Easterners could be EVERYWHERE to DOMINATE.

2. Both Awolowo and Bello requested for Secession Clause in the Constitution so that any region which didn't feel good with the union could easily pull out. But Azikiwe ran to UK to tell the Colonial Masters that Awo and Bello were Anarchists. Zik insisted that there should NOT be such a clause and that Nigeria MUST be ONE INDIVISIBLE Country.

3. The two great men (Awolowo and Bello) preferred to be stationed in the headquarters of their regions: Bello sat in Kaduna developing his Region and his People, executing a lot of landmark projects. Very few Northerners had any desire to leave the Northern Region. Awolowo also sat in Ibadan developing his Region and his People, executing a lot of landmark projects. Very few Westerners had any desire to leave the Western Region.

4. Azikiwe refused to sit in Enugu. He was running between Lagos and Ibadan, teaching Yoruba Leaders how to be 'Great Nationalists' and 'Detrablized Nigerians'. For this, Zik abandoned his Eastern Region and People; he executed virtually no useful projects in the East. His greatest achievement was bringing his people to Lagos.

5. The result was that his people took over the NCNC which was formed by the Yoruba people of Lagos. And Zik would use NCNC to fill and to occupy the civil service of the Municipal Councils of Lagos and Ibadan with his Igbo People. He would use the influence of that same NCNC to secure the Vice-Chacellorship of UI and UNILAG for his Igbo Kinsmen. He used the influence of NCNC to take over half of Tafawa Balewa's government where his Igbo Kinsmen virtually filled the entire cabinet.

6. For good reasons Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello were not too anxious for the 1st October 1960 date for independence. They felt that their regions and their people were not fully ready. They did not even have men in the Armed Forces. But Nnamdi Azikiwe, for obvious domineering reasons, was in a blazing hurry for Independence to be granted even before 1960.

7. And why not? Aguiyi-Ironsi, his Kinsman was the Commander of the Army. Plus more than half of the Commissioned Officers of the Army were his kinsmen. The Federal civil service was filled with his kinsmen. The civil service of Northern Nigeria had an overwhelming presence of his kinsmen before Bello's vision of Northernization trimmed it down. The Western Region civil service had plenty of Zik's kinsmen. They were everywhere.

8. But you could hardly find a single Non-Eastener in the Civil Service of Eastern Nigeria. That in a sense was Azikiwe's PERFECT NIGERIA: a Nigeria dominated by his kinsmen home and away! He wanted Independence in a hurry so that his people who already had a headstart could finally accomplish their domination agenda.

9. Yet even this was not enough. In the end, Zik's kinsmen in the Army would, on 15th Jan 1966, execute a mutinous coup in which the Leaders of Northern, Western and Mid-Western regions were gruesomely killed in cold blood. Ironically -and BY NO MEANS a coincidence- not a single Igbo Leader was killed. This a fulfilment of Zik's idea of 'nationalism'. It is this same Zikist idea that is gradually rearing its head again.

10. The new ZIK is now OBI. Obi cannot even go to his village, State or zone because of INSECURITY but he is teaching his kinsmen how to be secure in Lagos. In his ANAMBRA you cannot find an Abia man in their civil service but Obi will come to Ogun State where there are many of his kinsmen even on LEVEL 16, to teach the concept of "One Nigeria"!

11. A Catholic-Obi who COULD not tolerate NON-CATHOLIC CHRISTIANs let alone Muslima in Anambra when he was Governor, is the one now in Tinubu's detribalized Lagos pretending to teach the Yorubas tolerance and accommodation. This is the Obi that is now trying to teach religious tolerance to a Muslim Tinubu who has not only mentored christians but has been peacefully married to a Pastor wife for decades.

12. So now they are wrapping up a Trojan horse again for you especially the South Westerners, as the 'messiah'! An Obi who could not save the people of Agulu his village, is now the one to liberate you from your own kinsmen. And some fools among us with no sense of history are falling for it! Because your father did not teach you history and you will rather spend your time on Music, Sex, Alcohol and Drugs, you are available to be bamboozled, cajoled, deceived or otherwise blackmailed into their EVIL AGENDA which is essentially a ZIONIST PLAN TO OVER RUN THE SOUTH WEST.

13. You are taking for 'allies' fellow youths of Eastern extraction whose fathers and mothers had fed with LIES AND HATRED EVEN FROM THEIR PRENATAL BEGINNING IN THE WOMB.
These are the people you are dealing with. Beware of them! Beware the new Zik!

After next election, obi's name will be changed to 'CUSTOMER DADA NIII

Apart from the Southwest, where else is Tinubu’s support base?

That’s the question.

All this plenty talk is not necessary, just answer the question.

And just a reminder in case your memory is failing you, Wike is no longer in power and won’t be able to write result for Tinubu in Rivers again nor does he have a single goodwill to attract any vote for Tinubu in Southsouth.

You Pandora people will just conjure an illusion and start claiming it as reality . Boy it's not about what your brain wish,it's what the powerful want that will suffice.wait let's be clear,Are you saying obi has edge over jagaban in the next election??I don't want to believe that's what you are thinking. Oga if that's the case,you are ovetly deluded. Most of the votes obi got from southwest in the last election,he will never get half of them in the next election! 2.i don't see PDP dominating APC,it's impossible. I don't want to believe in your ant brain,you are hoping LP would displace APC. If that's the case,then when adults are talking Nigeria politics,you should be listening. Say you hear it first,shetima and Wike are the next government!

lets wait for obi nuisance abi obidenses

Penguin2:
You can do better than this, can’t you?

What we are talking about is Tinubu’s support base asides Southwest. This is your opportunity to tell Nigerians and the world the other region(s) you can count on should push come to shove.

But no, you are talking you are asking if Bello Elrufai will support his father if he aligns with Obi.

Did you know Tinubu would ever align with Buhari after all the bad things Tinubu said of Buhari’s character?

Well, the point is to get you lots to understand that you are standing on a slippery sandy surface and should not be running your mouth pra pra pra.

The day Nigerians will have enough of your urine dispenser, there will be nobody to save him; not even the armed forces.

I don’t expect you to agree with me; I doubt you possess the mentality capacity to comprehend what I’m saying.

please can you elaborate on this delusion who want to get booted out by 2027?? obi abi his errand master,ATIKU?? is it ipob.ss that can't touch his cloth when he was not in office that want to touch him now that he's the commander in chief?? i know most obidense are daft but this level of your daftness is really terrible. Accept reality so that you dont die of fustration,No vacancy in asorock untill 2031,shetima and wike is your next government. you can only kill yourself if you don't accept the reality.NIgeria has spoken!

what did you mean by nigerians?? so obi should be dubiously declared winner because you ipob.s alway think nigerians ends in your 5 dot barren states?? if obi contest 200 times, the highest he can go is 3rd. every reasonable person knowns this.

I don't understand,so because he renovated third mainland bridge now,he's better than Fashola Honestly obidence and senses are miles apart!

See Pandora people crying up there! So as obi failed shamefully to steal his mandate,they have resorted into sheding tears. Only God will help you people.

They can only wipe off Biafra people. Yoruba is too smart

say you hear it first,Jonathan and his wife owns airpeace!

Ibo aka ipobs problem is just inferiority complex! The day the Ibos realised are behind miles behind the Yorubas,they will will have progress

But biterobi people wants the fg to arrest mryatti Allah,now that he's on their side now,his word is a command! no wonder,it's easy to use ipobs!

Usmanovic95:
How can you differentiate Atiku's, obi's and KWANKWASO's supporter behind their keypad?

so ,kwankwasors supporter will leave him and be praising an ibo Catholic?? Typical dumb ipob statement.so other tribes apart from ibos calls Nigeria a zoo??! Abi you want deceive obi again??so people that calls themselves obedient are Atiku supporters?? You can only fool yourself,obi is only suffering as a results of his online uncouth miscreants! Infact,if there's one revelation in this last election,it's the if I can't have it,Yoruba should not have it self sabotaging behaviours of the ipobs. It's an eye opener! All hands are on deck now,from now till eternity,NO IBO PERSON CAN EVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.

Obizombies will not kill us . So far it's obi, then Tinubu is 100% guarantee to complete his 8 years.

amanda2013:
Obi is their biggest headache right now.

to your household??

Usmanovic95:
They always claim obi Is not a threat but they always try to attack him at any opportunity.Its illogical to attack someone you don't see as a threat,you simply ignore but it's hard to get obi's name out of their mouth.

It's this dumbness that is shocking patriotic Nigerians! The most insultive nuisances online are obi supporters.you know this,I know this,obi himself know this.the world know this! Have you see kwankwasors supporters constituting nuisances on the internet??have you seen any kwankwasor supporters calling Nigeria a zoo?? Have you see anybody in the north calling his tribes man to destroy tinubus property??Only ibos calls Nigeria a zoo! So,my dear,you see why obi is been rediculed from left to right?? only obi deranged ipob,s insulting everybody that failed to be misled by their fake Messiah.

Obi is the biggest political Fraud that's grace Nigeria political space. You know you lost shamefully but you played on the idiotic brains of your people to start peddling lies on the internet that you won. He appears as a saint but he's a schemer with his ipob.s intentions. This is the most disgusful thing I have seen in Nigeria. His ipob.s nuisance just buried his political career.

Pls don't let Pandora and his ipob.s nuisance to start another round of tears,it's too early. Let encourage them till then so our laughter can tarry

[quote author=Ofunaofu post=129215337]Everywhere in Nigeria

Conduct an election today, Peter Obi will beat Tinubu blue black

I repeat , remove the power of incumbency, senators, HOR members, state governors, state house of assembly members, LGA chairmen, the entire common wealth of Lagosians, the Lagos Treasury, dollar stuffing babariga thieves, thugs, hoodlums, and agberos, propaganda churning newspapers, TVC station propaganda shows and blogs, propaganda churning ethnic bigots like Bayo Onanuga and Sam Omatsaye, Tinubu is not worth more than 500 votes.
[/quote
Then obi is not worth more than 2 votes

pandoragirigory:
Only to igbos the election is not free and fair because Peter Obi lost woefully

Leave them make pant they wear them.

Ofunaofu:
I repeat Tinubu can never defeat Peter Obi in a free, fair and credible electoral process

Tinubu can only win a rigged election

Baba,obi rigged in the east than Tinubu Rigged in the north. The problem with you ipob.s,you always think obi is popular,because the ibos in Nigeria mistake him as the only opportunity to grab power. Obi is an Igbo Catholic, Which is an abomination in our north! So were you expecting a core northerner to vote an idiotic Igbo Catholic?? That's a serious haram and an abomination. Only demented ipob.s over inflate obis popularity! The chance of obi becoming president is 2.1%

Ofunaofu:
Tinubu is a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, a certified certificate forger engaging in criminal state capture

An average ipob.s is demented and has one person in their family doing drugs. One strict fact in Nigeria!is there any family in the east you won't find a drug seller??To project drugs to any Southwesterner is an hate speech even obi himself knows you don't mean it.

No,pandora and his ipob.s will stop the president in the next election

obi is a boy!

If it were to be another Airline,you would see our miserable people quoting different law,but it's one of their now,see the rubbish they are saying! Anyways,Nigeria dont take ipob.ss serious,they are the jokes of the country.

our infiority complex pandoro people don come again! we understand your mentality; don't worry,we are happy you are like this.

Since biterpandora has failed shamefully,he and his eastern people are always bent on looking and searching for bad news in the country,anyways,there is always one outcome,' THEY WILL ALWAYS FAIL!

mumu man! continue fooling your ipob nuisances! you no reach.

some people are born demented! infact most lp nuisance. if there is one person that benefitted from lp emergence,it is APC. fear?? only PDP can hurt APC,apuga,sdp have a better chance!

olisaEze:
Where’s the lie? Touch Obi and watch the nation burn from North to South!

Ta Na Wetin we hear from Kanu be this,abeg remind me where him dey now. You aipobs what are you waiting for to burn down the country?
