I came across this revelation today on IPOB page by DON KINGSLEY, and decided to share with my ameable readers.

THE BEGINNING - MAKING OF AWO WHO WOULD DIE IN SHAME

Many years after he suddenly was reported dead of natural cause andfew years after his golden jubilee, facts are now emerging on the reasons that led to First and Second Republic political heavyweight,

Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo committing suicide.
It was learned that he did it to stem the tide of a possible military court martial into an insurrection he was planning to lead alongside his political associates at the time when it became evident that then Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida was intending staying in power forever.

CONFESSIONS FROM AWO's ASSOCIATE:-

In a no-hold barred interview with FS Online recently,a grass root politician ,Mr Adebayo Adeyinka who lives within the College Road at Ifako-Ijaiye axis in Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria was livid with rage when he learned that a key politician connected to the issue was denying the incident.
He revealed that Chief Awolowo wanted to lead some kind of guerilla warfare or militant campaign against the government of President Babangida so that he can be overthrown through a popular or people-led putsch.
According to him , the Elder Statesman summoned a meeting of his core loyalists over the issue and this was even filmed so as to strengthen the extent of commitment of each of the politician that attended the meeting,
He pointed out that however unknown to all of those who were privy to this meeting and clarion call , Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande, Former Executive Governor of Lagos State had a different plan as he betrayed them to the military.

THE BETRAYAL OF Awolowo WHO BETRAYED BIAFRANS BY Lateef Jakande. He Said:’ But unknown to them , Chief Jakande was planning to betray them, he went to President Ibrahim Babangida and promptly showed him the tape “Papa Awolowo was invited for a meeting with President Ibrahim Babangida who was then staying at Dodan Barracks which was the seat of power as at then and the truth of his CONTINUE READING>>> http://chimauwazie..com/2014/10/exposing-Yoruba-thief-called-awolowo.html

MayorofLagos:
Ibos are plotting to betray Jonathan. They are getting ready, like they do every election season, to offer themselves to the highest bidder.

bloody pr.ost.titu.tes!!

Oba of Lagos, His Royal Highness Rilwan Akiolu, has opened up on the role he played in the alleged bribery of some Yoruba monarchs by late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, to frustrate the struggle against the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election believed to have been won by late business mogul, Chief MKO Abiola.

The monarch, who was the Lagos State Police Commissioner at the time, said that with the exception of one or two traditional rulers, other prominent Yoruba Obas collected bribe from the Abacha administration, declaring that he personally shared the money to the monarchs.

The monarch said the traditional rulers collected the bribe from Abacha to assist the late Head of State to remain in office following the relentless protests that trailed his coming to power.

He hinted that he has the names of the monarchs and the role they played, especially the Yoruba traditional rulers and vowed to expose them after the 2015 general elections.

Oba Akiolu stated this on Sunday in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State during the visit of the Emir of Kano and former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Muhammed Sanusi II to the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona at his palace.

He was part of Emir Sanusi’s entourage to Ijebu-Ode after the latter had visited him at his Iga Idunganran Palace in Lagos on Saturday.

Delivering his speech at the palace, Oba Akiolu disclosed that he had spoken with President Goodluck Jonathan to forgive and forget the errors that Mallam Sanusi might have committed as CBN governor, adding that all humans are prone to errors.

He said: “The Awujale is not part of them (corrupt monarchs), when the time comes, I am going to expose those monarchs who were given bribes in order to aid the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha to remain in power.

“I was a Commissioner of Police then in Lagos; I was at the meeting where money was being shared to the monarchs; I know those that collected money. I was given the share of Awujale to send it across to him, but I told them, right there that he will never collect the money and truly, when he was approached, he rejected it.

“There are some monarchs that I personally gave their own share and they collected it from me. I have their names and when the time comes, I will expose them. I am not afraid of anybody, they are corrupt and those are some of the bad eggs in the traditional institution. These are the people, you (Emir of Kano) should be very careful of associating with”, Oba Akiolu stated.

He advised the Emir not to look down on his subjects, as they were the main source of his traditional power.

It will be recalled that former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Bola Tinubu had during the 80th birthday of the Awujale last May took a swipe at Yoruba Obas saying that most of them soiled their hands during Abacha’s regime.

Earlier in his welcome address, Oba Adetona applauded the contributions of the Emir to the economy of this country when he was the governor at the apex bank.

Among dignitaries at the palace to join the monarch to receive his guests were the former governor of the state, who is also the Aremo of Ijebuland, Chief Olusegun Osoba, Senator Adegbenga Kaka, the three state commissioners from Ijebu Ode: Otunba Bimbo Ashiru (Commerce and Industry), Adebayo Fari (Forestry) and Olugbenga Otenuga (Physical and Urban Planning).

Also present were members of the state Council of Obas and Ijebu chiefs, religious leaders, the Hausa community in Ijebuland.

Speaking on behalf of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Bimbo Ashiru congratulated the two distinguished Nigerians, who, he described as shinning lights in the traditional institution in the country.

Amosun charged the monarchs to continue to support the government in their various domains, adding that, being the custodians of both the traditional and culture of the people, the onus lies on them to play very good advisory roles to all tiers government.

Mallam Sanusi explained that he decided to visit the two Obas in the South West because they were the only ones who identified with him during his coronation as the new Emir of Kano, adding that they were his adopted fathers http://idreamzmedia.com/oba-of-lagos-bombshell-i-shared-abachas-bribe-to-yoruba-monarchs/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Yorubas are the Problem with Nigeria - By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
Written by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
Wednesday, 27 May 2009 05:01

By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Prosective Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

i. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
ii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
iii. The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.

See also The Adulteress' Diary by Lamido Sanusi

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998).

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention. When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.

I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.

You quietly want to distort history, let me help you.

So pardon me if the facts clearly show that in the history of Nigeria, the Ibos have aligned more with the Northerners than they have with the SW. So please let the facts speak for itself.

which facts? The only alliance the igbos had which Northerners was during azikiwes battle with awolowo in the SW......you talk as if the igbos "carried" on their head the way tinubi and co are doing.......we are talking of serious alliances and you are quoting alliances in the national assembly you are very funny.......1999 everybody voted for obasanjo with the exclusion of his home town.....how's it the business of igbo people? After all he was compensation for abiola......the same goes with yaradua.....am still trying to understand your definition of alliance.......and what has not voting ojukwu got to do with igbos aligning with the hausas? Didn't abiola truncate awolowos dream of being president does that mean the yorubas aligned with shagari the north ..?? Please define your definition of alliance.....I don't think those period,the igbos came out like they are doing now to align with the SS......

He refused and the russians sold to Nigeria......the igbos aren't the only right thinking people on earth......the question you should ask is why are the igbos doing what they are doing.....I am igbo,I was born here in the SW I schooled here till my university days...so I know about the SW....do you know anything about the igbos apart from what you read from news papers or what your folks told you..?? If you detest a people,let be for something reasonable.....a friend who is yoruba married an igbo lady and the father was against it....why? For no reason.....he couldn't even tell his son why he hates igbos......every tribe has their issues.....including igbos....but most of you judge igbos based on interactions with either alabaa or ladipo boys.....if an igbo judges the whole yoruba based on the area boys he sees wouldn't that be myopic??

stop being funny. We blame GEJ cos of the way he's handling the whole thing. Instead of taking action, he blames the opposition which he could've arrested if truly he had any evidence. We. All know how long he took him to agree that girls were missing even after saying no girl was missing. We know how a military spokesman announced lies that the girls had been rescued. Did he sack the man? These and many more are the reason why we blame GEJ. As for gowon, people encouraged him to end the rebellion and supported him as our troops kept reclaiming parts of the eastern region, which was progress, till they got it all back. Under GEJ, we have lost territories and the ones we regained are being lost almost immediately and you expect hhim not to be blamed. Why is he the president then? Or do you think the presidency is just about eating a billion naira food? The only tribe in this WORLD not blaming GEJ is the ibo tribe. Are they wiser than other tribes in nigeria? Are they wiser than the americans will know and the british? You guys are just supporting him due to your usual clannish way of doing things. The rest of the world are wiser than that.

if you re-visit the civil war, you would see how the country was united against a common enemy.....the "igbos".....but now that the common enemy is from their own,they blame GEJ......and the amusing thing is that their brothers from the SW are united with them.....as for clannish way of doing things,the igbos learnt what tribalism was first hand.......during the war.....and you expect them to fall for that bait again? You peeps from the SW should go ahead and support your brothers in the North.....but when sh1t hits the fan.....expect the igbos you despise to activate their "clannish" clause once again.....

When it comes to anything Africa especially Nigeria, I don't go to the bbc, for example did the BBC let you know that their government supplied Nigeria more arms to fight Biafra than their own army used in the WHOLE of WWII?
Coconut head, it is IGBO not ibo.

@bold. Are you telling me you know more than BBC? List the names of the coup plotters.

I didn't say that....but the same british are the ones that caused the crisis in israel with the arabs........there was a coup,and you make the announcement based on the tribe of people involved which was very unnecessary........@ the end of the day we know how well the british prosecuted the war.......in constant supply of ammunitions to the federal govt.....it wasn't because they loved us,they did it to stir up tribal sentiments which worked because Nigeria was their business were they made their money from....so I wasn't expecting less from them.....right now in the UN they abstained from votes to recognise palestine as a state how do you trust people like that? After that coup,which other coup had ethnic coloration?? None......they just exhibited their promise of bringing the igbos down .....if you don't believe me check ahmadu bellos interview and check what he said about the igbos........its on you tube

people blame the ibos cos they started a dictatorial system of government that enabled Crooks to enrich themselves. Don't tell me that you expect crooks to correct anything especially when it favours their pockets.

who were the crooks? Talk about the igbos as if they planned it......the "igbos" formed a system of government.....that's wrong.....FYI,the same igbo dude who even led the coup was buried in full military benefits and honours in kaduna state by gowon....he never believed in biafra....actions taken by these dudes never signified that all the "igbos" decided that they agreed on it.......the first description of the coup being called an igbo coup was done by the BBC......the point I am trying to make is that you say its an igbo coup,but northern officers were with nzeogwu when he killed those people......and even in ironsi's military cabinet there were military officers from the SW and North so I wonder where u are coming from.....

you don't seem to understand. Your tribe formed a system of government that only empowered crooks, so when other tribes took mantle of leadership they found it too juicy to let go as they enriched themselves without any query, something that can't be done in a regional government. How do you expect someone to make a situation right when the system made him a dictator? Dictators rule anyhow. That act by the ibos of trying to dominate others carried out through a coup and controlling the regions. was also replicated by other tribes. If you hadn't started on that nonsense journey, others won't have followed the part. You tend to blame how huge the tree had grown but forget to blame the seed.

so if you agree that certain tribes continued what the so called "igbo domination" started, which was just a few months....why do I constantly read on NL that the igbos are the problem of Nigeria mainly from SW dudes who are obviously ignorant....since the North and SW had the opportunity to make the country right for more than 40 years.......the so called domination ended even before the war started....you guys made it look as if the igbos were the problem.....yet we haven't taken 5 steps of progress after 1960.....all we see is serious embezzlement and massive corruption by you know who......it is the failure of tribes marjorly the SW to understand igbos that has led to this unnecessary tags......and surprising the North keeps mute when the tirade is done by the SW.......I am still yet to understand the concept of benefiting from unitary system when oil was discovered in the 1950s in the old eastern region......and ojukwu in the aburi accord talked about confederal system government......which doesn't point to having a centre control govt

regional government had each region making use of its resources to develop itself at its own pace. While unitary system of government had all resources controlled by the center thereby slowing the growth of the regions. Aguiyi ironsi was. An ibo man that instigated the unitary system of government. If he and his tribe men that were partakers of the coup really had good intentions for the nation, they won't have abolished the regional government which saw the regions grow due to competition. It is clear that they wanted resources gotten from all the regions for themselves which was why an ibo dictator was made president, who provided a system in which the man at the elm of powers can favour his tribe, hence ibos held many political and official posts, a system the northerners also used to their own advantage. If you doubt me then tell me why you people keep complaining of how the northerners dominate almost every political sector? Ibos and aguiyi ironsi never thought power could be whisked from their them before they could even grip it.

Lol...they wanted ALL the resources for them selves?? Haba...!! The only reason why I was glad the war was even fought is because it only showed the characters and features of the different tribes that fought in the way.....the unfortunate thing about it is that the igbos were made to pay for a sin that was unjustifiable.....after the war,both the North and the SW had the opportunity to make it right........but failed and still people blame igbos for an action they had the powers to correct........the SW and North benefited from these contraption in which 1973 indegenisation decree created millionaires from the SW and North but nobody is talking about that.....you tend to wonder when an Ijaw man talks about true federalism and some people would say its "our" oil.......but forgetting that the reason they say that was as a result of the conversion to the unitary system by the same aguiyi ironsi..... Now the SW and North dominate the civil service with the loop sided development mainly in the SW(lagos) and the North through PTF and past military leaders.....and it is not a bad thing to practice the unitary system.....the igbos are not to blame for whatever problem Nigeria has.....because they have shown that they can survive without Nigeria.....blame those who had the opportunity to make it right but were blinded by ethnicity,greed,corruption and religious sentiments........

TuBerculosis Junkia never ceases to amaze me. Looking at this Religious scammer, you are just extremely amazed at how EXTREMELY gullible Nigerians are - you wont imagine a man who wouldnt predict the collapse of his church still has a full house on Sundays. I mean, there are still thousands of Nigerians milling into his Church on Sunday, m0rons who might be the next victims of his next calamity.#
And for this goathead to still have such disturbing audacity to spew such gibberish and stupid nonsense! Jesus must be weeping...like HEHEHEHEE

it rained on the day the house collapsed.......so his reception was scrambled.....so he didn't get the message on time....

No dodge, tell him how igbos enjoyed the unitary system. Also tell me why the igbos would work to destroy a government that was favouring the eastern region? Revisionism should be made a criminal offence

one funny thing I observed is that most people just come and say what they can't prove.....only what has been passed down as myths to them......I just asked how the igbos as a group or region benefited from the unitary system of government,and he is talking about post?? I don't know if he was beating around the bush or beating the bush......beats me!
