Did Awolowo Truely Gave Biafran 20 Pounds After The War by West1side(op):
Is it true that Awolowo gave Biafrans who can not produce their passbook or any document proving they own a bank account with any bank in Nigeria 20 pounds after the civil war ?

Is it also true that during the war Awolowo saved the federal allocation belonging to Igbos and gave it to them after the war to aid their reconstruction n stabilize their state ?

If the above is true can Igbos tell us what exactly Awo did to garner so much hate from th. I know some will say he starved Igbos or similar senselessness but una papa give Awo food to feed you during the war or did the UN deliver your food to Awolowo because till date Gowon that supervised the war is not vilified as Awolowo who was just a cabinet minister.

Pre civil war, they dominated all civil service.
Azikwe the president even appoints an Igbo man as a VC to UI and Unilag.

Ask any Igbo man if the appointments as VCs in both institutions is based on merit or sentiments.

Awo The Best President Nigeria Never Had– Ojukwu
15th Oct, 2012


He perceived his job as leading his people and God bless his soul. He did a lot for them. Whenever he saw an opportunity for his people, he went for it. He had a dream for the Yorubas and was steadfast in the pursuit of that dream. He knew where he was going and he took his people with him without deceit. That is why he will remain immortal in the area of his influence

LMAO Every igbo was given 20 ponds pass book or not

He also changed the currency so that igbos who saved money before would lose out

Nationalized company when he knew igbos were at the weakest

He advised against the food blockage to east causing the death of millions
This was just during the war

Awolowo hated igbos so much that he sacked alafin of oyo for being friends with zik

His hatred for igbos is very obvious now wonder he drank rat poison

He sacked alaafin because he involved in Politics.
Alaafin shouldn't publicly support politicians because of the power of his position.

Back your claim with prove
Here is my prove.

Ooni of Ife
The Ooni with the consent of the leading Yoruba political leaders used his position to close the gaps of exploitation of divisional differences among Yorubas and tried fervently to rally the Yoruba towards a common goal. In 1962, the king acting as governor, used his power to remove the premier of the region, sensing the premier did not have the support of the majority members of the House of Assembly.

That is what A traditional ruler should do.
What did Alaafin of Oyo do?
Even if Alaafin is in support of Azikwe it should be silent not publicly.

Yet he's the head of Yoruba traditional rulers.
I hope you've found your answers.
Kindly answer my questions.
