I held back tears as I read this. This is deep.... Very very deep. It is now or never cos the North is not ready to restructure hence disintegration is the only way we can truly emancipate ourselves. And we are here on Nairaland fighting E wars when we should unite and free ourselves. 2 Likes |

Toks2008:Joker you held back crocodile tears reading this fable from papa that is suffering from demented amnesia? Maybe you were too young to know that Awolowo’s number one enemy was Akintola his Kinsman, then followed closely by Nnamdi Azikiwe his arch rival? Only one can rule from the south either Igbo, or Yoruba. Choose your poison chalice. All these so called Southern Unity, na youthful mumurism. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yoruba will never unite with drug dealers. Just like how Ladoke Akintola rejected the ibos and chose the north, we the Yorubas love the north and reject the ibos. Only Yoruba and Fulani will rule this country in the mighty name of Jesus. Tinubu for president in 2023, then a northerner in 2031, then babatunde fashola in 2039. The money loving coup plotters that killed tafawa balewa must not be allowed to rule again. 2 Likes |

Well, as much as i would like to believe Prof Akintoye as a casual observer of Nigeria's history, i would note that it is funny Awo said this. In my view, as much as i hold Awo in high regard for a lot of things he did, the man was far from perfect and had his failings as any normal human being. I have often criticised his role in the Biafra war particularly the policy of starvation against Biafra. Some may argue it is all fair in love and war but that was extreme and alot of innocents who played no role in the coup died for no reason. However, the worst for me was the 20 pound rule and the economic isolation policy that Nigeria, under Awo's leadership (take note Awo was Coordinating Minister of Economy under Gowon and the 2nd most powerful man in that administration). Now according to rumours, Awo was promised the North's support for presidency whenever democracy was restored. This same Northern elements truncated his ambition using other Yoruba men (Obasanjo and Abiola). So i guess baba finally realised in 1984 what he knew all along to be true since the 1950s, that the Hausa-Fulani were not good faith actors and they always hated his guts. And i guess in hindsight, we all can see Ojukwu was right for wanting to seceed at the time, never mind his ulterior motives. And the craziest part of this is Awo was always for regional government, states built around sub-ethnic groups and so forth, why not throw his full weight behind Ojukwu, at that point he had nothing to lose. Well, i guess baba took the shortcut and in his latter years he must have realised just how treacherous and devious these northern elements were. 2 Likes |
