Your history is baseless because the opinion of Zik at the time that Nigeria should be one was shared many people including the common man on the street

As for Awolowo, he is demonised in the East for the role he played in the war
no history is baseless
history is history
and must be told
true history not history of hate and bitterness


what evil role
he did what was best for the east
he prevented a protected war
it's just bitterness that would make anyone hate him

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
for saying that may the restless spirits of Biafrian women and children who died out of starvation visit you

Even Nelson Mandela was tagged a terrorist and he came Igbo land to seek refuge while in nnewi he sends message across his people and still control their activity

KANU drinking Spanish wine and French bagels is a picture you saw him with his family after he escaped assassination in Nigeria and appeared in isreal then later went to UK to meet with his family

How he escaped Nigeria intelligence unit should have been a great concern to you....even today KANU might even be in Nigeria broadcasting
"seek refuge in igboland"
you're decieving yourself

Mandela didn't start his "freedom fighting" by insulting Yoruba like nnamdi
Mandela didn't give orders like a king
Mandela isn't called a supreme leader
Mandela didn't insult the British and still live in their land and even beg them for asylum

Mandela was equal to each south African man that wanted freedom

You are such an illiterate... This article itself is baseless... In 1953, Zik had no power or position whatsoever, the power was with the British people. Nigeria is still a British property with British administrators...

Secondly, what the illiterate wrote in the article, Zik did not support Biafra, in fact, he was on the side of Nigeria and was fighting on behalf of Nigeria. He was basically a traitor.

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

That's why I dreaded the first page..
He created the thread to instigate resentment towards Ndigbo. Nothing more

Be decieving yourself. Ojukwu thought he could use propaganda to win the war. Unfortunately he ran away in his wife atires after sacrificing millions of igbos to the Egoistic war.

You are the reason history is given a bad name. You tend to regurgitate silly fallacies with no iota of logic. Biafra flatly rejected foods which had to be transported though the corridor of Nigeria for fear of being poisoned. How could Ojukwu subvert the shipment of seemingly poisoned foods and give to his soldiers? Even if Ojukwu was an idle civilian such as the poster of the above crap, he would have been able to conclude that soldiers with running stomach due to food poison cannot fight a war. Most Nigerian cannot think to commit simple suicide.

There is nothing overtly reputable about that website, It is similar to Wikipedia.. You can post facts and mix them with opinions. In the speech you posted Zik clearly stating an opinion and was nothing even forceful.. he did not remove secession into law and had no rights... Zik was born and raised in Zungeru, Niger state and even in his book, he stated that he is from Benin. He was more of a pan-Africanist and was never for once in stood solely for the interest of the Igbos... Igbos do not even respect him as of today...

Secondly, Zik was not representing the Eastern region. Ojukwu led the Biafran government and not the Igbos.. Pre-independence, Zik was not representing the interest or opinion of the Igbos nor Igbo people.. Whatever he did before independence (where he had no power) was solely for himself and not for the people of the East... He was more of a Nortzerner than an Igbo man. Have you ever seen Zik in Igbo attire?

The website is an African American website that archives speeches.

You are trying to be clever by half... Whoever posted it inserted a comment at the top of the quote, stating something that has nothing to do with the quote.

You claimed that Nnamdi Azikiwe led a breakaway country and stopped the North from taking session.

Why are you people deceitful and chronic liars?

Ojukwu led Biafra and Zik had nothing to do with it neither did he fight on the side of Biafra.

Zik didn't have any powers do decide who should or should not secede. He had no political post. The power was with the British administrators, so how did Zik put that into law.... The speech you posted was more of an opinion and analysis.

You people are obviously not very bright.
