CXLVII:
Same bravery that has never paid off since in independence. Enlighten me about what your bravery has paid off with.

3 million souls wasted
Politically dead and isolated.
Most detested tribe in the Nation.

What has bravery won you. And mind you, that is not bravery, It's called foolishness.

tamdun:
U know little or nothing about politics, all he needs to do was whisper into the ear of tafa/Bello, both North and East dealt with awolowo because he never agreed with them, awolowo was a one man army, u need to do more reading.

The video below is one of azikiwe's gift to the south

Those SE and SW should return to there region so that there youths could beat them as always..

Push a Nigerian to the wall and he would either break the wall and continue running, or jump over the wall.

Ameach is just joking and seeking attention. He is aware how the elites fool and re-fool Nigerians every 4 years.

Nigerians are averagely empty barrels.... They will only rage online and be on the street for at most 2 weeks, when hunger comes knocking, they will return to work- that just played out in Aba Monday sit at home.

Nigerian politicians are one the smartest in the world, I stand to be corrected. Fooling 300 million people every 4 years in a span of 30 years takes exceptional skills. Same people in different parties controlling affairs.

And with high and growing rate of illiteracy, the political elites will always have an edge as far as it's democracy. Make a credible election happen, they will still win.

Jew trick Yoruba can't understand. But you will see fault in Yoruba own.

tamdun:
Yet he was able to remove kwara and òkun people from south west? Keep deceiving yourself

Jimasun:
You can lie sha. Even in th face of overwhelming evidence, you are still lying around.

otokx:
The interior is not encouraging.

SlyDev:
You are one of the black Jews using yoruba name to sabotage yoruba effort. Criticise this people the way you attack Yoruba leaders. Till then you are all hypocrites.

Elderniercri:
By 1959/60 Nnamdi Azikiwe was already the Governor General of Nigeria so it’s likely he was in the federal government…. His role was largely ceremonial sha so I don’t think he even had the power to dethrone anybody.
Or in a military rule, a civilian would have the power to enthrone anybody

Mrnairalandd:
Igbos are the most dumbest humans on earth. Let me ask you a simple question, if Ojukwu released Awolowo as you claimed, how come Gowon invited the same person-Awolowo to his government? How come Awolowo who was released by Ojukwu was able to become Finance Minister under the same government that kept him in prison?

Read this and stop listen to those rubbish you Igbos listen to on the East to console yourselves. Below is the truth! Ojukwu didn’t release Awolowo cos he lacked power to do so. Common sense should have told you Igbos that if Ojukwu releases Awolowo against the wish of FG then, Awolowo would have been throw back to prison.

Jimasun:
I have provided Newspaper reports of that day showing Gowon did release Awolowo.
Also, this video shows Awo visiting him not otherwise

uba1991:
nobody has the right to choose who to recognize as president or not. As far the supreme military council swear you in ,then everybody must obey. Mr Man, nobody gives ojukwu the rights to choose either to recognize Gowon or not.
Btw. What do you have to say about Awo confession that he was released by Gowon, or what do you have to say about many writers that told the whole world that Awo was released by Gowon? The newspaper report is above for you to read.

Jimasun:
These are Newspaper excerpts of that particular time. Provide your own documentary evidence

bobowaja:
Banjo was during the war. There was nothing like federal govt in the east at that time. What we have was Nigeria and Biafrans separatists. Do I have to continue to school you?

Jimasun:
There are documentary evidence backing the fact that Gowon released Awolowo.
All major newspapers of that day said Gowon released him not one Ojukwu who was not in control of the prison

Christistruth00:
[s]Before the British granted independence all the 3 Regions agreed to have Referendums for their individual ethnic Minorities
including the East . It was one of the Conditions on Which independence was granted[/s] .

Azikiwe, Balewa, Bello and Awolowo were all part of that agreement

Azikiwe was Part of Balewa’s Government but he somehow forgot push for or to hold the referendum for the Eastern Minorities at the Same time that Balewa and Bello also deliberately forgot to hold the Northern Referendum for Kwara and the Middle belt

But they insisted on the Midwest referendum after jailing Awolowo

tollyboy5:
What's ojukwu territory, this story as been flogged severally on naira land but your block head still bending fact
Gowon ordered awolowos release.

uba1991:
hahahaha.who was the president then? Even Awo himself testified who released him.

bobowaja:
Go and read and stop this show of shame. Ojukwu have no power to release a federal prisoner. You have been told many lies.

How many times do we have to go about this argument?

bobowaja:
When will you guys stop these lies? This issues has been flogged countless times here and each times you guys will run away from the thread to open another one.

uba1991:
awolowo set free by ojukwu? You guys are unchangeable liers.

Christistruth00:
Tell us what was the result of the referendum the NCNC were Supposed to have held for the Eastern Region Non Igbo EEthnic groups at exactly the same time as the Midwest referendum so we can understand what was really happening ?

Idiko1:
Bro do not pay any mind to certain jackass on the forum. Awolowo was cooling off in jail by1962. How did a prisoner reinstate the so-called Olu of Itsekiri or Warri?

Idiko1:
Bro during era in discussion, Azikwe was the president of Nigeria.

cocolacec:
*[s]How Azikiwe, an Ibo, deposed the grandfather of the new Olu Erejuwa III, who was re-instated by Awolowo, a Yoruba:*

The newly crowned Olu of Warri, Ogiame Erejuwa III, reversed the curse of his grandfather, the Ogiame Erejuwa II.

In 1963, Ogiame Erejuwa II, had taken the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Mid-West Government to court over the inclusion of Itsekiri in the newly created Mid-West region.

Ogiame Erejuwa II told the court that the Itsekiri Kingdom is part of the Yoruba nation and should have remained as part of the Western region and not included in the Mid-West region.

He argued emphatically that the Itsekiri people would like to be a part of the Western region and backed the Action Group led by Awolowo and rejected the NCNC led by Nnamdi Azikiwe who controlled the Mid-West.

Angrily, NCNC leader Nnamdi Azikiwe deposed Ogiame Erejuwa II and deported him to Ogbesse. The king then put a curse on all the Itsekiri who supported Ibo to bring the Itsekiri kingdom into disrepute. Okotie Eboh, an Itsekiri who supported the Ibo to depose the Itsekiri King would later be assassinated by the Ibo soldiers involved in the January 1966 military coup.

In 1966, Awolowo was set free by Yakubu Gowon and named the Federal Minister of Finance and the de facto Vice President of Nigeria. The first thing he did was to reinstate Ogiame Erejuwa II as the Olu of Warri. But Ogiame Erejuwa did not revoke the curse. His grandson, Ogiame Erejuwa III, has just removed the curse on the Itsekiri people.

The Itsekiri Kingdom is one of the twenty-six Yoruba tribes.
