Osaze007:
Awolowo developed Lagos e pain you

Awolowo developed western region and Lagos Capital Territory in three years as leader of government in western region of Nigeria. He must be a magician.

I can only begin to muster respect for Yari.ba when they proclaim Republic of Oduduwa. Until then, it is so-so.

hajimosho:
Southeast is naturally handicapped. Their saving grace goes to Azikwe who presurrized Midwestern region to be carved out of Western region through voting. Various locations in Edo and Delta would have been part of Western region till date.

Awo and Yari.ba milked mid-western region into chaffs.

Iamgrey5:
You actually think Nigeria has always been an oil producing nation

News flash! by the time Nigeria discovered oil in Olibiri in 1959, Lagos already had a seaport, Railway and Airport.

Sorry to state the truth, you do not belong to this discussion. Free education all over the above post. In 1959, Awolowo did everything short of suicide to merge Lagos Capital Territory with western region of Nigeria. Be mindful at this date, mid-western region was still integral part of western region of Nigeria.

oyatz:
You see that you guys duly reaped in ten folds what you sowed.






No one takes your victimhood serious.

Actions elicit Re-actions.

Without that coup, there wouldn't have been civil war the following year.

Stop playing God. Concentrate on the subject matter you even know little about instead of drifting into the world of metaphysics.

helinues:
Take over with what population...

Just because we are accommodative does not mean we don't watch and monitor their influence in SW states.. After all, we are still in one Nigeria.

If SW region is not conducive and productive, they won't be coming here....

All Nigerians are invited to come and help us add more to the development in our region.

Always Sophisticated West ( SW)

Always naïve west ( NW) = North West.

lastcall:
You have my full support after all we are one Nigeria. Also advocate for oil money to be shared by ONLY oil producing states

Do not pay a slight mind to the tribal ninnies. When time comes to collect allocation, the loudmouths shout "One-Nigeria".

Cownu is an illiterate leading a pack of degenerates

The above post says volume about the poster. Nigeria is really a basket of fools.

Hotice085:
.

There are no indigenous Igbo speakers in Bonny, slavery brought the language there.
Jaja and every others came as slaves there and served the indigenous people there

The "boat people" will say anything to appear relevant. Many people shall be repatriated to their places of origin when the shithole called Nigeria is disintegrated.

From ipob population commission abi. Unam ikot

Abasi mbok!! I suggest you stick with Ibibio issue in order to avoid friendly fire.

There are numerous reasons Nigeria is a zoo. One of the reasons is that Nigeria has more of its shear of dunces.

donyfrank:
That is what I don't understand

I shall never share a country with these tribal juggernauts after the silly country called Nigeria.

Constantjohn:
Zik wanted a ready made soup


Why didn't he contested for premier in the north


He knew ibadan and western region is greater, so he wanted to steal our fortune.

Awo disgraced his ancestors

Do you have the required intellect to engage in this discussion?

Constantjohn:
But taking awolowo offer is more okay for igbos and Azikwe....

Why did Azikwe became a useless figure head for the north.


Did u no that Tru dt allegiance.. The north exploited the east

Who the hell are you to decide for Ndigbo and Azikwe?

Constantjohn:
Yes.. Azikwe was raped to death by Ojukwu .

Tru his ass

Nigerian!!!

ebuka440:
Is that your problem. Can't someone have an Igbo as an in-law.
Know one thing bro, anywhere that Igbo's are, brings progress and better business connections, OK.
Get that into your skull Afonja

Mention of disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria, the tribal juggernauts will scream "One-Nigeria".

Tribalism has been the stock in the trade for so-called sophisticates. It is not a surprise to me anyway.

Blackking98:
See na
They jumped over ogoni and ijaw land and claimed ibani and bonny

Any Ijo or Ogoni in that part of the earth remains a tenant.

Kinematics:
What do you expect from land grabber?
I've seen lots of their funny fantasy maps.

Has there been any worse despicable land grabber than Oju Daniel Kalio?

Constantjohn:
Why did Zik rejected a joint government with Awolowo only to accept a 2nd position to the north?


Awolowo even humbled himself to GIVE Zik the prime minister and he will settle for the lesser post..

Why did Azikwe rejected a southern govt and went to form a government with the northerner govt?

Why did Zik break the south unity at federal level to go join the north?


More like Zik igbos brought the North into power and from there, they lost so much to the north.


Why why why??

The bolded has again proved that free education policy in western region of Nigeria did more harm than good. It is said that he who comes for equity must come with clean hands. The question should be why would Action Group send two teams, one to Kaduna and another to Onicha to negotiate the same thing at the same time? Akintola and Rosiji to Kaduna while Awo and Ige to Onicha. One cannot go to steal smoked crayfish with a rat in the bag.

The act of treachery by the characters from the Yari.ba land. The same reason Ahmadu Bello rejected Awo and his team of connivers.

Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the 13th Aare Ona Kakanfo (Field Marshal General) of Yorubaland, committed suicide.

Constantjohn:
Yes even Azikwe operated a baby factory, he smuggled drugs and that's why most of his sons were beheaded in UAE

You are very much entitled to your opinion.

Constantjohn:
[b]Obafemi Awolowo was born on 6 March 1909 in Ikenne, in present-day Ogun State of Nigeria. [8] His father was a farmer and sawyer who died when Obafemi was about ten years old. [9] He attended various schools, including Baptist Boys' High School (BBHS), Abeokuta ; and then became a teacher in Abeokuta , after which he qualified as a shorthand typist . Subsequently, he served as a clerk at the Wesley College Ibadan, as well as a correspondent for the Nigerian Times . [10] It was after this that he embarked on various business ventures to help raise funds to travel to the UK for further studies. [ citation needed] Following his education at Wesley College, Ibadan, in 1927, he enrolled at the University of London as an External Student and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hons.). [11] He went to the UK in 1944 to study law at the University of London and was called to the Bar by the Honorable Society of the Inner Temple on 19 November 1946. [9][12] In 1949 Awolowo founded the
Nigerian Tribune , a private Nigerian newspaper, which he used to spread nationalist consciousness among Nigerians. [13][/b]


Awo is a certified lawyer bro...

His free education saved ur tribe... Ur tribe shud be grateful to Awo forever

I do not pay mind to craps produced by the very people who created prose allegedly uttered by Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi. Some folks are funny. The writer of above crap mentioned Baptist Boys' High School (BBHS), Abeokuta, which has no record of Awo as former student yet could not mention, at least, one such businesses of Awo. I have admired Awolowo's resolve to succeed in life even when he worked as a motor park tout and money contribution collector but will not allow benefit of doubt to the hack writers.

Constantjohn:
Awo did not attend a secondary school But he schooled in the UK... How come



Yes.. It was in the east.. We know ur chest beat


Yet all ur leaders schooled in the west.. Till now they are still schooling in the West..

Here on nairaland, an igbo guys was told by his people in Unizik that he shud forgo unizik for western university.


The igbo guy gain admsn in both universities east n west.. Guess wat, he said he was suprised when his people from home told him not to come to unizik ooo.. That he shud go to The one in the west.. I asked him why *** he said till date, he doesn't know. Why they told him. That




No. School in the east is worth sumtin good...all are useless... No school like the west.. Even north is beating ur eastern schools nows



Legendhero Coman see this boy

If you did not know about this cute historical fact, you are not qualified to partake in the ongoing discussion.

I do know for sure that certain groups in Nigeria are glorified migrants.

Constantjohn:
E pain am..

Biafra failed when they over stepped their boundary... They were burnt

Same Awo gave u education

All ur leaders schooled in the west. Under awolowo education

You folks are loaded with fallacies only can be produced on Oluwole street. Awo did not even attend a secondary school. Arguably one of the best secondary schools, if not the very best, was located in eastern region. It was branded as Eton of Nigeria.

LegendHero:
Lol, Banjo commandeering the Biafran forces will definitely kill or instruct his soldiers to kill Yoruba soldiers as he won’t be able to distinguish Yoruba from Hausa on the battlefield. He already swore his allegiance to the Biafran army and he ceased to be a Yoruba on the battle field.

Lol, @the bolded, do you know that the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved away from Lagos ever since the 1950s? Awolowo fought for the capital to be moved to another place and even promised that the Western Region will finance the construction of a new capital.

Do you know who opposed that? Nnamdi Azikwe, he said Lagos is no man’s land and the capital should remain in Lagos because he doesn’t want Yoruba to keep the wealth of Lagos.

Even the Fulanis supported it then until Azikwe confused them that they won’t have access to the Apapa port easily if Lagos capital fall into Yoruba hands.

In all this, Awolowo was frustrated and he had to write a letter to the colonial secretary telling them that the Yorubas will leave the union if capital is not relocated. The colonial secretary not wanting a breakup of the new country that will be birthed threatened Awolowo and told him that it will be met with force of Awolowo ever dare to proceed with making Yoruba leave the union.

Do you know what Azikwe did, he wrote the colonial government and told them that “They have address Awolowo in the only language he understood” I.e. force and he was pleased with the decision.

I swear on God, the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved from Lagos even since, which explained why it wasn’t met with force when Babangida did that later.

The North is not the genesis, the Igbos through Azikwe are the genesis of the initial rot of this nation. The North were never this brutal, you guys taught them everything they come to know presently.

I feel nauseated that you Igbos cry victims even when you are the genesis of your misfortunes.

Most Yoruba peeps assumed they have monopoly on recorded events. It was Awolowo's long dream to merge Lagos capital territory with western region of Nigeria. In the same 1950s as the poster had insinuated, the opponents of the propose merger of Lagos capital territory with western region of Nigeria by Awolowo characterized such move as queer idea.

EastGold:
Biafra failed the moment Igbo tried to extend their territory to SS and SW.

I know they will argue with me, I know some of them don't understand history.

But I have said my own.

Above post is one of the brazen failures of Awo's free education policy in western region of Nigeria.

MetaPhysical:
The South East would classify anybody from any part of the country who fails to support an Igbo President in 2023 as an enemy, the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned.

National publicity secretary of the organisation, Osmond Nkeoma, told Daily Sun in Owerri, yesterday, while reacting to a recent comment by former Benue Governor, Gabriel Suswam, that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would zone the presidential ticket to the north in the next election.



https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sunnewsonline.com/2023-anybody-against-igbo-president-our-enemy-ohanaeze-youths/amp/

MetaNonsensical:

Since you have assumed the position of mouthpiece for the goofy youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, I suggest you tell them that it is either they are dumb or deaf or both to think the enemy of Ndigbo has to be made in 2023. The enemy of Ndigbo was cradled in 1967. Nothing defines Nigeria better than the Nigeria\Biafra war. It is act of idiocy to remotely insinuate that enemy of Ndigbo should come in 2023 presidential election of shithole called Nigeria. The so-called dumbass youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo,which you represent, does not have a handle on structural stream of thought.

kingawothefirst:
Correction: Awolowo is the greatest politician ever in Nigeria’s history, not just of Yoruba descent. The only person I’d put above him in west Africa is probably Nkrumah.

Also bro you have no idea what you’re talking about, how could Awolowo speak about the killings when he was locked up in jail by the people that got killed lol. Have some sense bro

Point of correction: Awolowo was the greatest British stooge that ever walked on earth. He was a total failure in politics and the only thing to his name has deduced by another Yoruba as the producer of armed robbers and letter writers.

tamdun:
Great akintola killed by Igbo people, they know how to kill other tribes but when u pay them back in their own coin, they cry like baby

Akintola was never great but master of treachery. By the way, Akintola committed suicide.
