Please how many northerners did he kill and shoot at sight to keep them in ONE NIGERIA.... Please answer me

theTranslator:

I can see that you are enjoying one Nigeria

assuming he let the north go
south Nigeria would be an African power if possible a world power

ezenwajosh:
Please how many northerners did he kill and shoot at sight to keep them in ONE NIGERIA.... Please answer me

ezenwajosh:
GOD FORBID I ENJOY ONE NIGERIA

AZIKIWE DID NOT STOP THEM FROM GOING.... AZIKIWE EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THEY ARE THE REASON WHY NIGERIA WAS JOINED TOGETHER IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE OF THE POOR ECONOMY IN THE NORTH.... AZIKIWE WAS EVEN LOOKING OUT FOR THEM ASKING THEM HOW THEY WILL SURVIVE POINTING OUT THAT HE WAS BORN, RAISED AND GREW UP IN THE NORTH AND HE KNOWS HOW IT IS FOR THE NORTH..... AS USUAL TRYING TO PLEASE AND DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM..... IT WAS EVEN A ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION AND AFTER THE DISCUSSION THE NORTH DECIDED THEY ARE NOT GOING ANYMORE

AZIKIWE DIDN'T ORDER A SHOOT AT SIGHT FOR ANY NOTHERNER ASKING TO LEAVE NIGERIA

PROUDIGBO:


More to the point: what power did he have at the time to keep them against their will.....or didn't they have a will of their own?

His intentions (naive and shortsighted as i think they were) were genuine, but he didn't have the benefit of hindsight like we have today! Ask him the same question today and i'm sure he'll give a different answer!

then why demonize Awolowo
who had the same mindset?



don't quote me with all caps

ezenwajosh:
Am just angry when ever am explaining to Nigerians... Am sorry

What mindset did Awolowo have?

ezenwajosh:
Please how many northerners did he kill and shoot at sight to keep them in ONE NIGERIA.... Please answer me

theTranslator:

Awolowo had a one Nigeria with regionalism mindset

ezenwajosh:
We never hated Awolowo for that... We hated Awolowo for the war....

HE HAD RGIONAL GOVERNMENT IN MIND(RESTRUCTURING)
what was agreed in aburi accord (restructuring)
Then Ojukwu and GOWON(who is from platue state) came back and GOWON after being approached by Britain refused to hold up to his end of the signed RESTRUCTURING that was agreed(remember today the people of platue has been over runned by one Nigeria jihadists) ... Now Ojukwu had to declare a state of biafra

Now Awolowo who should say GOWON YOU GOT IT WRONG AND YOU'RE AT FAULT BY NOT HOLDING UP TO WHAT WAS AGREED ON SIDED WITH GOWON AND BLAMED OJUKWU(just like telling the village that was massacred by fulani herdsmen that it's their fault they were killed because they refused RUGA settlement) AND EVEN WENT AS FAR AS SUGGESTING AND USING HUNGER AS A WEAPON OF WAR



TODAY YORUBA PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVEN SUFFERED HALF THE KILLING OF IGBOS IN NIGERIA BUT THEY WANT OUT..... THEY NOW SEEING SAME THING OJUKWU SAW IN THE CONFIGURATION OF FULANI NORTHERN POLITICS

Am sorry it's all in caps

Idiko1:
@OP

It is a pity you can read but comprehend. If you clearly understood the first paragraph of the article you posted, a reasonable you could not have concocted the silly caption you gave to this thread. I do not know why most Yoruba people think continuous lies will turn into truths.

Muna4real:

God bless you for this question. Some people have no brain.

theTranslator:

did Awolowo start the war?
he only made sure the war wasn't elongated


I can't read all caps
my eyes can't interprete

ezenwajosh:
Alright...Awolowo didn't do the right thing to stop the war.... All he had to do was tell GOWON you're at fault your defaulted your signed agreement in aburi but instead he sided with GOWON and blamed Ojukwu and even suggested hunger as a weapon of war.... And to understand how wicked the north are they tried to use same food blockade on Yoruba people few months ago just to remind them we know the history but we only chose to play dumb and stupid when it suits us but guess what.... Igbos never blamed Yoruba market fight for the food blockade that spread the whole South we stood in solidarity and said to them to hell with that food

I can tell you that if that market fight that led to food blockade was to happen in South East.... South East will be blamed and nobody will stand in solidarity with them

theTranslator:

I will read about the Aburi agreement
Awolowo said that the Biafran soldiers were confisticating the food
You can't feed your enemy
it's not done
it will only elongate the war

@ underlined that's not true
except if Nairaland igbos don't qualify as igbos
they mocked us to scorn
I can show you posts

theTranslator:

I will read about the Aburi agreement
Awolowo said that the Biafran soldiers were confisticating the food
You can't feed your enemy

ezenwajosh:
was Awolowo the one fedding his enemy?

The food and medications was not from Nigeria

How and when did igbos became his enemy..... Research about that too.... On that part you will realize that ABURI ACCORD MEANS RESTRUCTURING and GOWON refuse to hold up his end of the signed RESTRUCTURING

The same restructuring AWOLOWO as you said preached about

The same restructuring Nigeria went to war for in 1967 is the same restructuring Nigeria is begging to have today

Igbos really have paid enough blood to deserve their own nation

Omoslim26:
With what we have here one can intellectually orientate that the great Zik of Africa was very open and not forcefully imposing his opinion on The Northerners.

All I see here is an intelligently constructed submission with plateful of logic to reason with.

The great Zik was a genius.

theTranslator:
I can see that you are enjoying the "one Nigeria" he championed the north is the cause of Nigeria's woes today

theTranslator:

I didn't say Awolowo believed in restructuring
I said he believed in regional governance which still existed to an extent at that time

yes most the food wasn't from Nigeria agreed
but it doesn't change anything
you can't allow the enemy in a war to be strengthened
most of the bloodshedding were very avoidable especially that of the war
and now nnamdi is championing a course that will lead to more blood letting
blood is not what forms a nation
reasonable sacrifice and wisdom does

ezenwajosh:
So you don't know regional government and restructuring is the Same thing?

Same thing that made Ojukwu ask for restructuring is making Nnamdi Kanu ask for REFERENDUM.... Does REFERENDUM mean bloodshed or war

But you killed his members for asking for referendum which if you so much trust Nigeria is working and the people are happy with Nigeria you will win the vote but instead you ordered a shoot at sight and labeled them terrorists group

You know in Nigeria we have a habit of not telling the story from the beginning....we start from the recent part

ezenwajosh:
please show me

theTranslator:

they are different
restructuring comes in many ways
and true federalism (regionalism) is one
nnamdi is deranged

he has no plan

he is just promoting violence
ESN are terrorists
I supported them until they killed Mohammed Isa extrajudicially
now they kill igbo policemen

kanu wants to make Nigeria worse than Somalia
and he's making the east his head quarters
