legendte: Please stop making mockery of yourself. What other way can you describe a life of regrets? A warrior who lived an accomplished life vs a coward who drank rat poison. This is funny. Ojukwu fought for the Igbos. Go to his village Nnewi. His state Anambra has the highest number of prominent men in the country. They are good in Education, entertainment, sports and any other sphere of life. His father was the richest yet sacrificed for us. How fulfilled can Awo be after taking otapiapia rat poison? Please stop hating before you die like Awo the real coward. Believe me, Rochas commands more respect than that errand boy. You said Awo bagged a post humus award. That is done to assuage the pains of the bereaved after the rat poison. An Igbo man do not depend on the government. Zik of Africa, the most popular and prominent politician Nigeria have ever had. Awo died for not getting that so called figure head. E pain am so tee him go for roadside shop go take rat poison. hehehehehe
Your rat poison theory forever remains an illusion... Even then, I guess Adolf Hitler was also a coward...
Nevertheless, Ojukwu the coward who fled to Abidjan for his dear life after leading 3 million yeasterners to their earlu deaths never led an accomplished life. He contested for Senate in 1979, he failed. He contested for presidency on two occasions and failed woefully even in the East. So what is accomplished about that? To make matters worse, the family he left behind is in disarray and are nowhere to be reckoned with as we speak.
Zik was a figurehead president. He never had the liver to aspire to be anything relevant in Nigeria. His dream of seeing Igbos dominate one united Nigeria was shattered before his very eyes such that the opposite is what was/is/will forever be obtained...
berrystunn: Vanity... What will he profit a man....
The north is still using the west till date
At least we have had the presidency more than once and we shall still have it soon again while 'smart Igbos' are struggling to retain the Deputy Senate Presidency What a shame!
legendte: Yes he is an errand boy in Aso villa. No wonder buhari refused to grant him access during security meetings. Nothing will erase the fact that Awolowo drank rat poison after begging to become the president for just a day. Ojukwu had everything as a boy when he was growing up. Read his history. At least he was the leader of the defunct Biafra for three years. He was a governor. Nobody from the entire waste can match his bravery and exploits. History will always have it. Zik was one time the president of this country and Tafawa was a prime minister. Awo was a mere minister just like Osibanjo the mere commissioner. If the matter pain you just go do wetin oshiomole talk......go and......
Can an errand boy act as president twice, summon service chiefs and head the National Economic Council? You get sense so? Assignment: Go and find out those who make up the National Economic Council.
Ojukwu led a life of regrets after leading 3 million biafrans to their early deaths. Nothing can be more pathetic The family he left behind is in disarray and fighting Bianca(FFK's ex-girlfriend) for the few properties he(Ojukwu) inherited from his father. They are nowhere in the federal settings.
Awo (GCFR) was premier of Western Region. Till tomorrow his legacies endure all over the west and remain the envy of you all. Awo died at 78. He lived longer than Ojukwu who fled for his dear life...
Zik was a ceremonial president...A figurehead...We chased him from the west when he wanted to be our premier...Thief!
legendte: Ojukwu fought for Biafra independence. Today we have lots of Igbos doing well in all spheres of life. There is no Emir in Igboland. unlike the Afonja and his scratched faced cone heads from waste. One of his sons was a commissioner in Anambra state. His wife was an ambassador. His party is ruling a state. And in PEJ's voice, his manhood is still alive. How dare you compare him to an aso rock slave whose husband was picked by Tinubu. No wonder he was referred to as a mere commissioner
You call Osinbajo an Aso Rock slave? Someone who has already acted as president twice? The head of the National Economic Council? Are you a loooonatic? Who knows your father?
Ilorin is an emirate with a Fulani cum Yoruba emir. How is that your problem?
Awo's family are still in govt at the federal level. Is that the case with the Ojukwus?
kaen1317: a prostitute is paid her wages but still remains a prostitute
Let me come down to your level... A prostitute is still better than an armed-robber, drug-pusher, nonentity etc Even the Bible was benign to prostitutes...
Yet yeasterners who have never been used and dumped are struggling to retain the Depute Senate Presidency in 2016 as against their traditional VP slot. Thank you very much. Yorubas prefer to be 'used and dumped'.
legendte: Do you mean the wife of mere commissioner? You think Igbos depend on the government? Mikel can feed the whole of awo clan. Ojukwu died a happy man but Awo drank rat poison. We call it otapiapia. Check your 500 naira note.
The 'mere commissioner' has already acted as president twice. Who knows your father?
Mikel compared with Awo? Are you okay? Do you drink coke/fanta at all?
Ojukwu died an unfulfilled man - full of regrets and leaving behind a family in disarray.
Awolowo died an unfulfilled man too - but was awarded a post humous GCFR - a title only for presidents and former presidents. His family keeps going from strength to strength and are well-placed in the polity. Awolowo would rather die than go on exile unlike Ojukwu the coward...
specco: Man, you are shameless. Your folks stand by praying, wishing and even collaborating with your 'Masters', the torturers and humiliators of your brethren only hoping to profit from his misfortune with a glee. You are irredeemable. You're bold enough to state how this abomination was harvested in the past by Obj, Abiola and Awo's wife. Now Tinubu is on the slaughter slab again and you're already fixated on the compensation after the deed.. Get some sense man.
At Yorubas have ruled their 'masters' on more one occasion and will do so in the nearest future.
When will you yeasterners ever rule your 'slaves', the aboookis?
If aboookis tried a tenth of what they do to yeasterners in Enugu and other parts of the yEast in Yorubaland, Nigeria will be over by now...
So tell me who is actually being tortured and humiliated.
When Tinubu decided to ditch Mulikat Akande, a fellow Yoruba, in favour of Aminu Tambuwal, an abbooki, in the race for the Speakership position in 2011, did he care about the general Yoruba populace/interest? Wasn't he selfishly concerned about securing his powerbase as the most 'powerful' SW politician at the time?
Padipadi: You have a point. This is the time where those Yoruba ACN Govs are supposed to voice their support. Many of them v forgotten that betrayal of Tinubu ll give them to the hands of new bosses who they don't know of. I stand with Tinubu until he's proven guilty
Yorubas are the most ambitious ethnic group in Nigeria. Tinubu betrayed/disrespected/disregarded core Yoruba elders in the AFENIFERE. Today, he is reaping what he sowed...
xklucvG: Must one be killed for the other to succed? Its awfull. Are you joking.
Awolowo slumped in the toilet and died...pictures of his brush with toothpaste and bathroom slippers he had on before he died abound.
Even if yeasterners say he committed suicide, the fact is that he had the option of going on exile; he never took it unlike Ojukwu who desperately took it without being offered after leading 3 million yeasterners to their untimely deaths.
Abiola and Abacha were allegedly killed by the US. Yet, Abacha had to die first...
berrystunn: Go and sleep.. Awolowo gained what?, Abiola gained what?? The same yoruba that killed Abiola. Or Abiola that was against awolowo?
Yoruba don't have history.. They don't even know where they came from.
Awolowo gained GCFR - a title only sitting or former presidents can hold.
Abiola gained 2 oil wells among other benefits.
Obasanjo gained the presidency.
Whether Abiola was against Awolowo or not, the most important thing is that where one Yoruba man loses another gains - the general Yoruba populace never loses...
[s]Despicable abobaku, your endless wailing on NL will not stop you and your fellow Yorrobbers from spending the rest of your miserable lives on earth with your Fulani masters in OduaArewanistan republic...[/s]
rants...stop masturrbating and go get married...that's all
discusant: Stop living in the past of Ojukwu and Awolowo. Live in the present.
Presently, Yoruba is deeply divided between those who look forward to the Sokoto Caliphate for directions, and the Christian/Animist Yoruba. The former lead Yoruba in politics of one Nigeria. The latter understand that one Nigeria is a failed country and a huge stumbling block to overall development in Yoruba land.
Stop allowing the urban sprawls of Lagos deceive Yoruba people like you. Yoruba hinterlands remain most underdeveloped.
Igbo is not your problem. Igbo would want to leave the failed Nigeria but for the deep division in your people.
That division enables Hausa/Fulani ride rough on the south of Nigeria and tell their yarns about indivisible one Nigeria.
@bolded
Rather, they are using the Hausa/Fulani to get power like Abiola almost and Obasanjo did...
discusant: OBJ was appointed for Arewa stooge president by Arewa. In eight years, OBJ couldn't even asphalt the road to his Ota home in Ogun state
OBJ even seized local government allocations of Lagos state for years.
Buhari attended HID Awolowo's burial is a big achievement for you?
Shortly before the start of the 2015 presidential election campaign, nearly every who is who of Hausa/Fulani attended every important Owambe or burial or wedding or naming ceremony in Yoruba land, as they created a false impression of togetherness with your Yoruba in their bid for Yoruba help for power return to the north
Yoruba facilitated the north to grab power during the 2015 presidential election.
Since then, Hausa/Fulani hardly crossed to Yoruba land for Owambe or other parties.
Wake up.
I think HID died after PMB became president... Also, PMB has been in Osun of recent...
Yorubas helped the Hausa-Fulani grab power to set the stage for a sooner than later Yoruba presidency.
Voting GEJ for a second term would have served a death knell on any Yoruba presidential ambition.
Hasn't Osinbajo already acted as president twice?
Who else will the abboookis hand over to when they are done with their tenure? Igbos? Ijaws? Minorities?
Come on, those Yorubas betraying Tinubu already have their eyes on the presidency...
legendte: [s]Do you mean the man that drank rat poison after begging to become the president just for a day? No Nigerian is greater than Zik of Africa. Abiola is not even as popular as Mikel Obi let alone Ojukwu.
Afonja[/s]
Rubbish!
Ojukwu and his family can only wish to be like Awo's.
Where are Ojukwu's children? Who knows them? How rich are the Ojukwus compared to the Awos?
Awolowo's granddaughter is in Aso Rock as we speak....
Drinking rat poison is better than escaping to Ivory Coast after leading 3 million yeasterners to their untimely deaths.
Awolowo was awarded a post-humous GCFR, a title that is only held by sitting or former presidents. So what's left?
Ghost447: Quite funny anyways, but you & I know that Tinubu is the most powerful active politician in South west as of today. It is as good as he is representing SW politically.
No. Tinubu is only powerful in Lagos and maybe Osun.
He has never been able to capture Ondo and Ekiti.
He was able to make inroads into Ogun and Oyo because of Amosun and Ajimobi who were never his godsons. Amosun and Ajimobi have always been politically independent. In fact, Tinubu may have begged Amosun to join ACN rather than CPC (Amosun's preferred choice) at the time.
