Poorly manufactured history! On what capacity did Nnamdi Azikiwe depose Olu of Warri? How did Azikiwe do that at that time as a ceremonial president? |

vedaxcool:We were in a democracy. The king has no right to have contrary position after his people have spoken. That is tyranny and feudalism. The king does not own his people, the people owns their king! This concept is too huge for most of you guy's brains that are not Igbo. |

Mrnairalandd:It was not Gowon's regime that imprisoned awolowo but tafawa balewa, and awolowo was never an enemy of both Gowon and ojukwu they both respected him as an elder, even while awolowo was working with Gowon, he still visited ojukwu in Enugu during that time They all credited the release to Gowon cause they recognized him as the head of state, even though it was ojukwu that released him , giving the glory to ojukwu could had meant they don't recognize Gowon |

Asgard73: I) For example, at timestamp 7:01 to 7:13 of this video, Chief Robinson Ariyo (the Egogo of Warri kingdom) says and I quote: “… Yoruba, a place where we are from … our roots.” (II) At timestamp 8:22 to 8:27 of this video, Chief Isaac Jemide (the Oshodin of Warri kingdom) says: “… we are a Yoruba people as such.” Credit tao11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKLTie7LhKQ |

tamdun: And awolowo could whisper all kinds of evil plans to a 32 yr old Gowon which Gowon followed them all, but could not whisper to him to carve Kwara and yoruba parts of Kogi into yoruba states? Everything during tafawa balewa and ziks era was done by due process constitutionally you could not just wake up one morning do something without following due process It was not so during military regime, Gowon with the suggestion of awolowo woke up one morning and created 12 states carving oil rich igbo communities to river's and South East state, circling igbos in East central state with nothing |

cocolacec: The Premier of Midwest was Dennis Osadebe not Nnamdi Azikiwe as you claimed. Osadebe was from Midwest and the Coup plotters were mostly from Midwest as well. Even though I cannot deny Igbo Deltans of being Igbo, the aim of your write up is to accuse the Southeast Igbos who had no hand in what happened. The same you writing this will be found on another thread saying the Igbos in Delta aren't Igbos. 2 Likes |

jimyjames:See how u quickly change narrative when evidences came up. I think many of you were fed this lies until you come to nairaland to receive the shock of history. Many of you were fed the lies about how Awolowo betrayed and killed you while ojukwu that took u into unnecessary war is a saint. Awolowo never betrayed the east, in fact your leaders azikwe did by joining govt with balewa whom he share nothing in common with. Ojukwu also betrayed him by declaring war before Awolowo get to West, to show the federal government that he is in bed with him. That singular act could have destroyed Lagos and drag Yoruba nation into a war we know nothing about. |

Instead of Zik to face the east, he was busy looking for the downfall of the West, while he was busy doing that, Fulani was busy calving Igbo speaking people in part of Benue into Middle belt. 1 Like |

joeyfire:Do you even know Zik? His father and the ties he had with the Brits? Zik was used to tie Nigeria together until northerners get to understand what they stand to gain in the association. From inception, northerners feared domination from South, so they wanted out with their arewa. Till date, I believe there is an element of truth that Zik had hands in the first coup. He was trying to undo his mistakes. The northerners were ignoring him cos they know he holds a useless position and they were stretching hands to reach out to Akintola who took it against Awolowo who believed in United south against north. 1 Like |
