Tutu19:
Recently I, my wife and my siblings went to the village to visit my dad. In the course of discussion of various issues, we started discussing Tinubu. To our greatest shock and surprise, my dad who is 73yrs old said
1. That Tinubu is a very wonderful and good man, he worked with him for 4 years when they were in Mobil. He was so good that every weekend they used to smile home. This was around later 1980s and early 90s.
2. He is older than Tinubu. He remembers he was always celebrating his birthday and he knew then that he was older than Tinubu. Don't listen to people who say he is old, he is not even 70 yet from records.
3. Every monday, back then, they use to bring in meat and raw food and share to workers in their deparent because Tinubu used to do parties all the time, he is always celebrating one thing or the other and he usually carries everyone along. He would make sure everyone got something to drink, eat and some money in their pocket.

All of us just became so weak and mouth agaped.
Lesson: in this life, if u have not come close to someone, don't judge them.
My dad changed our mindset immediately and I think I will support Tinubu's presidential bid for being nice to my dad, I won't repay evil for good, never!.
The man may have forgotten my dad now, but my dad never forgets the good he did to him when they were in Mobil at bookshop house , CMS Lagos.

Vote Tinubu, I was a hater like u, but my old man who himself also warned us that Buhari will show us pepper (because he worked with him in 1967 at NA sector command in Awka) but we disagreed, is now saying Tinubu will make the best President we will have in a long time. I choose to obey the old man this time.
I will not be surprised if Atiku comes out openly to support BAT's candidature or a candidate endorsed by BAT!

If any region want presidencythey should work for it or let's the break up agitation carry on but for anyone thinking in his silly senses that presidency will be given to him like convid palliative its a big joke.

They want president but love grabbing peoples land and called themselves bloody developer shit. They want presidency but overlly arrogant and chest beat.

'hero- worshipping' Northerners as captured vividly in this 'unity begging' speech, made by Nnamdi Kanu, I am sorry, Azikiwe in 1953.
Nnamdi was actually threatening economic blockade and civil war against Northern Nigeria if they attempt to secede from Nigeria!


Now we know those whose grand-fathers and fathers have been 'chronic unity beggars' in Nigeria and 'ass-lickers' of Northerners' 'bura' grin cheesy shocked


NNAMDI AZIKIWE's SPEECH AGAINST SECESSION BY NORTHERN NIGERIA.
[i][/i]

In 1953 when Northern Nigerians were beginning to consider secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be a nation, Nnamdi Azikiwe gave a speech before the caucus of his political party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in Yaba, Nigeria on May 12, 1953. That speech, while not disallowing secession, suggested that there would be grave consequences if the Northern region became an independent nation. Ironically, fourteen years later, Azikiwe led his Eastern Region out of Nigeria and created Biafra, a move that prompted a bloody three year civil war. Azikiwe’s 1953 speech appears below.

I have invited you to attend this caucus because I would like you to make clear our stand on the issue of secession. As a party, we would have preferred Nigeria to remain intact, but lest there be doubt as to our willingness to concede to any shade of political opinion the right to determine its policy, I am obliged to issue a solemn warning to those who are goading the North towards secession. If you agree with my views, then I hope that in course of our deliberations tonight, you will endorse them, to enable me to publicize them in the Press.

In my opinion, the Northerners are perfectly entitled to consider whether or not they should secede from the indissoluble union which nature has formed between it and the South, but it would be calamitous to the corporate existence of the North should the clamour for secession prevail. I, therefore, counsel Northern leaders to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of secession before embarking upon this dangerous course.

As one who was born in the North, I have a deep spiritual attachment to that part of the country, but it would be a capital political blunder if the North should break away from the South. The latter is in a better position to make rapid constitutional advance, so that if the North should become truncated from the South, it would benefit both Southerners and Northerners who are domiciled in the South more than their kith and kin who are domiciled in the North.

There are seven reasons for my holding to this view. Secession by the North may lead to internal political convulsion there when it is realized that militant nationalists and their organizations, like the NLPU, the Askianist Movement, and the Middle Zone League, have aspirations for self-government in 1956 identical with those of their Southern compatriots. It may lead to justifiable demands for the right of self-determination by non-Muslims, who form the majority of the population in the so-called ‘Pagan’ provinces, like Benue, Ilorin, Kabba, Niger and Plateau, not to mention the claims of non-Muslims who are domiciled in Adamawa and Bauchi Provinces.

It may lead to economic nationalism in the Eastern Region, which can pursue a policy of blockade of the North, by refusing it access to the sea, over and under the River Niger, except upon payment of tolls. It may lead to economic warfare between the North on the one hand, and the Eastern or Western regions on the other, should they decide to fix protective tariffs which will make the use of the ports of the Last and West uneconomic for the North.

The North may be rich in mineral resources and certain cash crops, but that is no guarantee that it would be capable of growing sufficient food crops to enable it to feed its teeming millions, unlike the East and the West. Secession may create hardship for Easterners and Westerners who are domiciled in the North, since the price of food crops to be imported into the North from the South is bound to be very high and to cause an increase in the cost of living. Lastly, it will endanger the relations with their neighbours of millions of Northerners who are domiciled in the East and West and Easterners and Westerners who reside in the North.

You may ask me whether there would be a prospect of civil war, if the North decided to secede? My answer would be that it is a hypothetical question which only time can answer. In any case, the plausible cause of a civil war might be a dispute as to the right of passage on the River Niger, or the right of flight over the territory of the Eastern or Western Region; but such disputes can be settled diplomatically, instead of by force.

Nevertheless, if civil war should become inevitable at this stage of our progress as a nation, then security considerations must be borne in mind by those who are charged with the responsibility of government of the North and the South. Military forces and installations are fairly distributed in all the three regions; if that is not the case, any of the regions can obtain military aid from certain interested Powers. It means that we cannot preclude the possibility of alliance with certain countries.

You may ask me to agree that if the British left Nigeria to its fate, the Northerners would continue their uninterrupted march to the sea, as was prophesied six years ago? My reply is that such an empty threat is devoid of historical substance and that so far as I know, the Eastern Region has never been subjugated by any indigenous African invader. At the price of being accused of overconfidence, I will risk a prophecy and say that, other things being equal, the Easterners will defend themselves gallantly, if and when they are invaded.

Let me take this opportunity to warn those who are making a mountain out of the molehill of the constitutional crisis to be more restrained and constructive. The dissemination of lies abroad; the publishing of flamboyant headlines about secessionist plans, and the goading of empty-headed careerists with gaseous ideas about their own importance in tile scheme of things in the North is being overdone in certain quarters. I feel that these quarters must be held responsible for any breach between the North and South, which nature had indissolubly united in a political, social and economic marriage of convenience. In my personal opinion, there is no sense in the North breaking away or the East or the West breaking away; it would be better if all the regions would address themselves to the task of crystallizing common nationality, irrespective of the extraneous influences at work. What history has joined together let no man put asunder. But history is a strange mistress which can cause strange things to happen!

Nwanne, You are very correct about your assertion that the Hausa-Fulanis and some parts of Nigeria, still bear grudges against the Igbos, for the role the Igbo Nation played in the January,1966 coup and subsequent events, during and after the coup.

I got touched by this your comment below;

'Why punish my father, punish me and my kids for something that happened in 1967?
I was not born then, I was not involved'.


It has not always been a case of vindictiveness on the part of the Nigerian state, against an average Igbo citizen since the end of the civil war.
Less than 10 years after the civil war, an Igboman was elected civilian Vice President and Ebitu Ukiwe was also appointed as Chief of General Staff, an equivalent of Civilian Vice President, by Gen. Babangida in 1985.
The Igbo Nation also benefited immensely from both Obasanjo's and Jonathan's government.
The only government that has not been very favorable to the Igbo Nation since Independence, is General Buhari's government.
There is really no need for all the violence and destruction going on in Igboland because of the 'perceived hatred' of General Buhari against the Igbos.
The next government after Buhari's government may be favorable to the interest of the Igbo Nation and may be positively disposed to addressing most of the complaints of the Igbos, in the Nigeria state.

PoliticsRe: Northern Coalition Asks Court To Exit South-East From Nigeria by johntolu:
Redcrafton:
Good man..

If Awolowo had your thinking in 1967...there won't have been any need of this today cheesy cheesy

I think it was Azikiwe that lost it in 1954 as a result of greed and short-sightedness, on the part of the Igbo Nation.

The price of his actions or inactions, is what the Yeebos, are paying today.



My opposition to secession,
By Nnamdi Azikiwe
.

When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.

The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level.

So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason

We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.

The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution.

The whole of Yeeboland will burn if the candidate of the Caliphate party is declared winner in the upcoming Anambra state governorship election.
IPOB should mobilize all Ndi-Igbo living outside Yeeboland back home and enforce a 'full-blown' lockdown to paralyse all economic activities in Yeeboland to send a message to Buhari and his 'Onye-Ofe Nmanu' collaborators grin cheesy
This is the only language the Caliphate understands shocked

If they posed in this picture with hope to have Tinubu succeed PMB as president, they posed for perpetuating injustice, strife and no meaningful development in Nigeria after 2023.

They know that the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria necessitated zoning of the presidency between the north and the south; and that rotation in the southern regions stipulates that it’s the turn of the Igbo to succeed PMB.

A Muslim has never succeeded a Muslim as president since 1999. How come any persons not looking for strife in Nigeria would propose Tinubu as successor to PMB?
The Yeebos drew the first 'blood of injustice' in
Nigeria, on 15th January, 1966.
They killed military and political leaders from other parts of Nigeria and spared their own because of their greed, nepotism and wickedness.

Mai Mala Buni is a pretentious hypocrite who wants power for power sake. After selling a white elephant to GEJ he has quickly decided to follow the popular side since it is obvious that the GEJ kite won't fly.

A lazy fellow who only know how to famz those in the corridors of power. My advise to him is to go back to his State and contend with the challenges of poverty and insecurity rather than greedily hold on to the Party and the Governorship at the same time.
How e take concern you, Bros?
Are you an indigene of Yobe state?
I have not heard his people complain about the noble role the guy is performing in Abuja, Damaturu and other parts of Nigeria.

The South East is a very confused region filled with all manners of characters working hard against each other to achieve no goal at the end of the day.

I am not surprised at all.
That is the way an average Igboman is wired.
Ever heard of 'I Before Others'?

After Buhari the next person on earth ipob pigs hate with obsessed passion.
Interestingly, they fear the two and see them as harbingers of all their problems ranging from getting to presidency to their last unrealistic option of obtaining their phantom biafra.
The Caliphate is not sensitive to the feelings of the Igbo Nation. Why the Caliphate is planing to support Tinubu to succeed Buhari, beats my imagination.
These two guys are the most hated individuals in Igboland.

The Caliphate & The North are the real 'betrayals' and 'Sabo' of Nigeria politics and they should be treated as such by every Ndi-Igbo.
I will implore IPOB to order all Ndi-Igbo living in Northern Nigeria, back home to Alaigbo immediately and total lockdown enforced in every part of Igboland cheesy
