Elections pre-independence? Are you kidding me? Can you show me the documents where Igbos voted pre-independence? In fact, Zik was more attempting to lead Yorubas because he also grew up in Lagos, he spoke more Yoruba and Hausa than Igbo and the COLONIAL MASTERS compensated him with a position in the Eastern Region which was a region of the current SE and SS, with the exception of Edo state and some parts of Delta state.

Zik also fought against us the Igbos during the Civil war. He didn't stood with Nigeria because he saw himself as a Hausa, Yoruba before Igbo.

Haven't you ever come across it in history of Nigeria that the colonial authorities allowed indegenous participation in politics beginning from 1922? What is participation in politics if I may ask? Why did Herbert Macaulay form the NNDP party in 1923?
I guess the Zungeru where Zik was born and brought up is in Yorubaland, right? You mean it was the colonial masters that used ethnic jingles to remove Ita Eyo for Zik in the Eastern Region? Please which parts of the present Delta State were initially part of the Eastern Region? You are just peddling doses of falsehood. Zik supported Biafra in the beginning

Ekealterego:
What foreign affairs, Zik sided with the Nigerian govt. Here is the receipt... In fact, he called us, "Rebels" and was part of the team supporting Nigerian govt to ask international community from selling arms to us for self-defence.

This was in the later days when it had begun to appear that Biafran soldiers were being overwhelmed by the Nigerian forces. But in the very early days of the war Zik was Biafran in spirit and soul in so much that Ojukwu gave him one of the most sensitive positions in the Biafran government.

There was no election that determined Zik as a representative pre-independence. Zik wanted to lead the Yorubas, and when it didn't work at first, he went to meet the Ijebus who saw themselves as a separate group. (I hope you also know that Yoruba was a political name as you guys were called Akus".

When that didn't get his desired outcome, the colonial masters compensated him with a position in the East.

Zik was NEVER a Biafran. He was a traitor!!! He was more of a pan-Africanist than Igbo. Igbos were more like a vessel for his political ambitions and pan-Africanist dreams. In his mind and in his BOOK, he said he was a Bini man. He was born and bred in the North. It was when his father observed that he knew nothing about being Igbo nor the language that his father brought him back to Onitsha to do his secondary school, before long he returned back to his father in Lagos to pursue all his life dreams. His childhood friends were either Northerners or Yorubas mostly.

First of all; per the bolded, I am not Yoruba. Then secondly, Zik got elected as Eastern Region premier by the votes mainly of Igbos. Zik was also elected as president of Igbo State Union - a pan Igbo cultural association.

Why should Aburi accord be the basis to judge others ?! Did Awolowo signed a memorandum with your father that he must die fulfilling Igbo wish of Aburi accord.

What happened to the constitution every single Nigerian nationality went to the UK to sign. Why can't you Igbos take up your argument from there ?

Who n who was represented in Aburi accord for foolish n cursed Igbos like you to think it deserved to be enforced on all Nigerians. May it never be well with you n your entire household for accusing Awolowo of not enforcing what he was never a part of.

We all know how Azikwe was part n parcel of bringing Igbo land under the subjugation of hausafulani but your foolish brain is not ready to have that conversation but instead jump to Awolowo who gives no furks if your father n his entire tribe rot in hell.

ezenwajosh:
We never hated Awolowo for that... We hated Awolowo for the war....

HE HAD RGIONAL GOVERNMENT IN MIND(RESTRUCTURING)
what was agreed in aburi accord (restructuring)
Then Ojukwu and GOWON(who is from platue state) came back and GOWON after being approached by Britain refused to hold up to his end of the signed RESTRUCTURING that was agreed(remember today the people of platue has been over runned by one Nigeria jihadists) ... Now Ojukwu had to declare a state of biafra

Now Awolowo who should say GOWON YOU GOT IT WRONG AND YOU'RE AT FAULT BY NOT HOLDING UP TO WHAT WAS AGREED ON SIDED WITH GOWON AND BLAMED OJUKWU(just like telling the village that was massacred by fulani herdsmen that it's their fault they were killed because they refused RUGA settlement) AND EVEN WENT AS FAR AS SUGGESTING AND USING HUNGER AS A WEAPON OF WAR



TODAY YORUBA PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVEN SUFFERED HALF THE KILLING OF IGBOS IN NIGERIA BUT THEY WANT OUT..... THEY NOW SEEING SAME THING OJUKWU SAW IN THE CONFIGURATION OF FULANI NORTHERN POLITICS

Am sorry it's all in caps

If the entire igbo tribe is not cursed please tell the whole world what was contained in Aburi accord in terms of restructuring n democratic dictate that was missing in Regionalism that Nigerians practiced then and why do some cursed Igbos believe all Nigerians should be denied what they all went to the UK to decide as their choice of govt for Igbo military Aburi accord ?!

ezenwajosh:
was Awolowo the one fedding his enemy?

The food and medications was not from Nigeria

How and when did igbos became his enemy..... Research about that too.... On that part you will realize that ABURI ACCORD MEANS RESTRUCTURING and GOWON refuse to hold up his end of the signed RESTRUCTURING

The same restructuring AWOLOWO as you said preached about

The same restructuring Nigeria went to war for in 1967 is the same restructuring Nigeria is begging to have today

Igbos really have paid enough blood to deserve their own nation

A genius that led you to your doom.
Tell the genius-ity of Zik to Ojuwku n Kanu, Igbos that are now waging war to free fools like your like from the contraption Azikwe enslaved your tribe.

Omoslim26:
With what we have here one can intellectually orientate that the great Zik of Africa was very open and not forcefully imposing his opinion on The Northerners.

All I see here is an intelligently constructed submission with plateful of logic to reason with.

The great Zik was a genius.

We can all see how foolish what you n Azikwe saw now. It is 2021 when you Igbos are ready to tell the truth about how foolish Azikwe was with his misjudgement then we can sincerely start a talk of destroying the meaningless union he stood for.

Omoslim26:
Guy I am not an over emotional person.

A I see is a very honest and unprovoked call for a second thought.

Did you see the last line?.

Can you now tell is why some Igbos tot it wise to truncated Regional govt take us through a meaningless war only to now ask for the exact same thing in Restructuring/Aburi ?!

Why should those of us with functional brain listen to this set of fools n lunatics ?!

ezenwajosh:
So you don't know regional government and restructuring is the Same thing?

Same thing that made Ojukwu ask for restructuring is making Nnamdi Kanu ask for REFERENDUM.... Does REFERENDUM mean bloodshed or war

But you killed his members for asking for referendum which if you so much trust Nigeria is working and the people are happy with Nigeria you will win the vote but instead you ordered a shoot at sight and labeled them terrorists group

You know in Nigeria we have a habit of not telling the story from the beginning....we start from the recent part

I swear many of your Igbos no just get functional brain. So Awo is to blame for some fools truncating democratically elected govt, waging a senselessly war all because he chose not to feed his adversary in a war. ?!

The madness pervading Igboland is indeed unimaginable if that is all you can reference as the problem of Nigeria back then n how.

2elliot:
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.

You guys brought sufferness upon yourselves with your greed and wanting to dominate others at all cost. The mumu Zik thought he can play northerners but the fool was outsmarted.
