Yoruba children should go and learn Yoruba.

Wat is this obsession with Igbo people children.

Even wen it comes to marriage thay will leave their women and be rushing to marry our own women.

Igbo can never stop being Igbo and be Yoruba.

It will not happen.

No amount of legislating in Lagos House of Assembly will achieve that.

[/s]We have heard you loud and clear. Obsession or abjection, if the law dey knack your flat head hard. Take your children to east. You will tell if Lagos is your father land.

I will die like a solder like Adolf Hitler than to run like a coward ojukwu . To be sincere, it was a great shame. It is a bad record. The first ever solder to do a marathon race. What a great record

Leez:

so d army dat killed unarmed civvies start giving free medication and u expect dm to accept
smh

He is a bloody civilian that only his idea made your brave solder ran in pant to far away kolo toure backyard. What a shame that, just an ordinary bloody civilian could made a whole dictator ran without carrying a gun, dressed like sweet 16. Spit. Hiltler was a solder like him.

koladebrainiac:
lol see igbo n lies.. always blaming yorubas for their troubles n woes. coward tribe. whgen will u guys stand on ur two feet and stop blaming others. you lied in ur post.

Don't mind them, a road opened wide and killed one person in the east yesterday, do not know why they didn't blame awolowo for that. Ozubulu massacre, I still wonder why awolowo's name was not mentioned. Nnamdi kanu is missing, don't know why they didn't go to awooo's grave to blame him.

WetinConsignMe:
No Nigerian politician living or dead has more controversies attached to them than the person of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

What are the basis of these controversies?
To what extent are they justified?

Let this be the definitive thread on Awo's controversies.
So, even if you've presented your arguments elsewhere, present them here again for the record.

POLITELY present your points. Try to be courteous and respectful or at least avoid personal attacks on anyone.
No bigoted tribal posts please.

Please remember, Awo is a hero to most Yorubas and like a god to some, so try to be respectful.

Here are Chief Awolowo's controversies in chronological order:

1) That he introduced tribal politics into Nigeria in 1951 by, overnight, convincing a staunch NCNC allied Ibadan party to switch allegiance to AG in other to prevent Zik from becoming first premier of the West.
As Unongo put it:
"Zik’s party produced a Zik premiership in Western Nigeria and in the night, Awolowo went round to convince the Yoruba that, ‘you are a tribe. Your tribe is called Yoruba. Zik’s tribe is called Igbo. Do not allow this to happen. Whether you like me or not, it is better to have a Yoruba man to rule over Yorubaland’. Unfortunately, I feel, this was the starting point of our problems."

2) That he tried to orchestrate the first coup in Nigeria in 1963. For this he was sentenced to 10 years hard labour by a Yoruba judge after a long trial. A co-conspirator, Enahoro, later escaped to Ghana and confessed they were indeed planning a coup.

3) That the January 1966 coup plotters intended to release him from jail and install him as prime minister.

4) That only Ojukwu could have released Awo from Calabar prison as Gowon never had authority in the East and was never in any position to order the release of Awo or any other prisoner in the East.

5) That Awo promised Ojukwu personally, and later said publicly, that the West would secede if Biafra seceded.

6) That he encouraged the starvation of Biafrans durring the war. That he made the statement: "Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war."

7) That he was the architect of the 20 pound policy after the war, which most Igbos considered cruel.

88) That he commited suicide by poison in 1987 after a co-conspirator gave Babangida a tape of them plotting a coup.
As Adebayo Adeyinka, a staunch Awoist, put it:
“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...
He gave Papa some options and that was for him to be ready to face a court martial, be ready to go to a prison, or better still go on exile
At this stage Papa felt instead of allowing some ambitious khaki boy to mess him up he should just pack it in and call it a day, so Chief Awolowo decided to commit suicide so as to save himself from the ignominy of going to prison for the second time in his lifetime ."

9) That he was corrupt.

As Adeyinka put it (in trying to praise Awo);
“He was stupendously wealthy during his lifetime, infact there is no company at Oba Akran in Ikeja, Lagos, where he does not have at least a five percent equity. Dideolu Court in Ogba alone cannot be valued at less than N10 Billion, that was the place that he had in mind to be his Seat of power if he was elected as Nigeria’s President.
He owned Shonibare Estate but the man he was using as a front and who later went to prison over some issues which Awolowo himself was privy to eventually laid claim to the estate"
"“He got all of this wealth due to a great measure of goodwill and tax waivers he gave to investors whenever they come to establish their business.
Anytime you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola you are enriching the Awolowo Dynasty."
He listed these blue chip companies as places the Awolowo family have commercial interests just to mention just a few:
Dunlop Nigeria Plc ,Guinness Nigeria Plc, Neimeth Pharmaceutical Nigeria Plc ,May and Baker Nigeria Plc ,Vitafoam Nigeria Plc ,Wahum Nigeria Limited ,CAP Nigeria Plc , International Paints of West Africa [IPWA], Berger Paints Nigeria Plc ,Berec Nigeria Limited ,Kabelmetal, Nigeria Bottling Company Plc ,Leventis Nigera Plc ,West African Portland Cement Company,[Lafarge ],Wema Bank Nigeria Plc, Scoa Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria Plc ,Wemaboard Estates, Odu’A Group, Livestock Feeds Nigeria Plc , Nigerian Breweries Plc

[/s]These people has started their lies again. You want zik to be premier of western region but do not allow other tribe to be your own premier. You never talked of how zik gave 96 positions to igbo people out of the available 104 positions in University College then. Your invented lie about him committing suicide makes you more stupid. Great awolowo will continue to torment you. Every time, you cry of how he had agreement with runnaway ojukwu but never for once bring out the agreement evidence signed by awoo and ojukwu. I tire for you people stupidity.

Ok

mavinc4u:
Delta state in western region? do I have the wrong map of Nigeria or what? I don't understand, please explain.

Then go and learn from history

It will also be nice if other tribes do the same

In their various lands abi?

Useless Afonjas claiming Obi. After wanting him dead, now you are looking for him because you are unhappy he may still be alive? Useless Afonjas, wicked things....like the one above me. They have been opening threads left and right searching for Nnamdi Kanu. You think we Biafraans know his whereabout, we will tell your coneskull? Have you heard of any IPOB looking for Nnamdi Kanu? We believe he is been protected wherever he is, and we are happy with him laying low until right time. In fact Nnamdi Kanu operating from underground is far more dangerous for Nigeria

I will not go on exile... Nnamdi kanu.

I come once in a while to pas messages. when I do, I don't usually engage people like you, but for the sake of one thing, I will advise you to stop hating. Hatred has never helped anybody. It won't help you either. Nigeria became a sovereign nation before your birth, why do you want to destroy it?

Who has time to engage dirty almajiri before. Spit. Who won contact disease. I never hated Americans or Europeans, na dirty almajiri parasite I go come hate.

How do you post on tweeter? We pass messages bit by bit for people of low class like you to learn.

Aboki smelling parasite.

Another Liepob trying to discredit Yorubas.. by their posts and inferiority complex towards Yorubas, ye shall know them.

APC will continue till 2023 whether you like it or not.. hang if you like.

He is not ipob, he's is one of those parasitic northerner almajiri smelling people.

givbitcoin:
They were so excited, thinking he will never make it back alive, and when he disappointed them, they began to call him Jubrin from Sudan.

So it was yorubas who called him jubril or whatever, now I know you have brain touch.
Go and tell buhari that he's mad.

givbitcoin:
Soon, the dust will settle but the mischief makers must pay. This is to sound a warning to all those who write nonsense on the pages of newspaper to dent the image of Mr. President. It's a fight they will never win

Who are you warning? Are you and your buhari mad?

Here and then I said it on this forum but as usual, some children resorted to insults. It takes an elder with yours of active political adventure to rightly predict the direction of things in this country, but will the children understand?

The Yoruba are our good enemies. At least, they understand our political relevance.

— They got it wrong when Tinubu tried to persuade PMB into accepting single term as a condition for the SW to support him to enable Tinubu taste power too. Not only was that unconstitutional, it was sheer stupidity on the part of Tinubu to even contemplate that.

— They got it wrong when they prayed fervently for PMB to die in London so that Osibanjo would take over. Only devilish people can do a thing like that. Now they have lost the little influence they had.

— Now, they are getting it all wrong again. Tinubu and other savages now use media channels to launch propaganda attack on the presidency. Tinubu's ThNation newspaper is pretty hard at it. But I put it to you people that very soon the world will know how corrupt the man called Tinubu is.

I don't often post here because there are too many underaged children here who will always quote one out of context.

[b] A lot of people may not know who Sir Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu is besides the fact that he was the father of late Biafran Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. But the fact is that he was one of the greatest Business men ever produced in Africa and one of the richest. It beggars belief that Sir Ojukwu went to Lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later aged just 30, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu
Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it?

Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928, Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt Lagos in 1929. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to Lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well. With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores" and employed one of his relatives to oversee it. He then returned to Lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed. By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road. In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested the use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed. When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire). The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses. Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu) and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves. Sir Ojukwu was so rich that in 1956 when the Queen visited Nigeria, the British authorities had to borrow his Rolls Royce and personal driver to chauffeur the Queen around. Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966. Sir Louis CV is the most intimidating I have ever seen and probably will ever see. He was:

1)The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange
2) President, African Continental Bank
3) Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM)
4) CEO, Ojukwu Transport company
5) Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line
6) Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company
7) Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited
Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank
9) Vice President, Lagos Chamber Of Commerce
10) Chairman, Palmline Shipping company
11) Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing board
12) Chairman, Eastern Nigerian Development Corporation
13) Chairman, Costain west Africa
14) Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum
15) Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son
16) Director, Nigerian Coal corporation
17) Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited
18) Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company
19) Director, Daily Times of Nigeria

The man was simply larger than life. Sir Louis also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks. It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money.

Op, you mean 40billion or 4billion dollars?

Was he richer than da Rocha?

OK, so far that what will bring food to the table for the said children. Continue.
