theTranslator:It was just for Awolowo to point to Gowon the need to respect the Aburi Accord. That would have been enough. Whether Gowon heeds to his council or not, he is not to blame and history would have been kind to him in that regards. And I believe things probably would have gone differently. 1 Like |

theTranslator:You are towing the part of history that out progeneitors followed that caused us all the pains we are are enduring today, and make leave for the next generations to come. That is that, we don't speak truth to power. The white men who sat at the roundtable at the Berlin conference to divide africa did not do so with gun fights. The company that sold Nigeria to the British Queen did not do that through gun fighting, and luckily our freedom fighters who were able to persuade the colonial forces did not do that through war. But we now have leaders who enjoy and envy the brutaĺ of rape our collective humanity by the colonial masters have continue from where they stopped. And worst still, we now lack men who can stand against their barbarism. 1 Like |

valentineuwakwe:In what way is he the cause? At the time Nationalists were fighting to see that all black men become free, it was just common sense to ask the north to join in that window of opportunity to be free from the british rule. There is notĥing selfish in what he did at that moment. The north's inferiority complex took the best of them. |

theTranslator: 1. Zik is entitled to his opinion. Zik was nobody in 1953 to determine for the North what to do. If the North wants to secede from Nigeria, nobody can stop them. The North stayed in Nigeria of their own accord 2. Zik did not lead his people out of Nigeria, Ojukwu did. Zik initially supported Biafra but later ran back to his "one Nigeria" 3. Had Zik been alive today to witness what is happening in Nigeria, he would have regretted every second he ever wasted believing in "one Nigeria" 1 Like |

tommy589: In the next 40 years your children might live to regret this with you not being able to help cos you might have departed to hell or wherever your foolishness led u. So with all that is happening you are still willing to risk the lives of your unborn generations with Northerners. |

Hopefully your unborn generation till their own 7th generation will share in the pain. Sorrow or joy the almagation Azikwe orchestrated brought. No need telling you people what a foolish soul he was again since bigotry as ruined your life. ezenwajosh: 1 Like |

You Igbos keep shouting Aburi Aburi Aburi. Let's say one chose to argue like a rationale being can Igbos tell us what was contained in Aburi accord that was lacking in regional government before the millitary orchestrated the first coup ? ezenwajosh: 2 Likes |

I know it was a waste trying to reason rationally with clowns like you. How well did the blockade go ? Who was begging to have food transportes from to the SW. What prove do you have Awo blockade food to Igbos during the war ? You are yet to answer why demand was in Aburi accord that was lacking in regional government practices before the coup n if there was nothing different why did the Igbos orchestrated the coup. If there is no justifiable reason why Igbos initiated that coup should your unborn generations not be made to pay for that ? ezenwajosh: 3 Likes |

theTranslator: What is the point of all this? That Zik had an opinion? Isnt Zik entitled to his opinion? If it is Ziks opinion that the North should not secede, it is still the North's choice. Zik did not own Nigeria or the North. This thread is pointless |
