anonimi: He did it because of the fulfilled promise of Gowon making him the finance minister and for other political reasons which were in his interest! He was the originator of true large scale corruption in Nigeria. He never had the interest of the Yorubas at heart and was swayed into selling The Yorụ̀bá Nation to the North despite being helped out of prison by Odumegwu Ojukwu where he has been for two years for corrupt practices. Ojukwu had wanted him to declare the Yorụ̀bá nation so that Nigeria would be split into three nations ; Arewa, Yorụ̀bá and Biafra. After the civil war, being the finance minister, Awolowo never returned the wealth of Igbos that were in the bank, instead he gave a few Igbos £20.00 with the unfulfilled promise of looking into their true financial networth domiciled in the bank. This was why the Igbos lost out during the first industrial indigenization in Nigeria. Feel free to respectfully correct my recount, make me see from a different perspective, or I will not reply |

I would rather say, he saw exactly what Odumegwu saw, that Nigeria is a scam and was only created for the colonial master to continue systematic pilferage of her resources. He wanted a Yoruba nation, likewise Ikemba wanted Biafra, but the Arewastan region with no vision wanted Nigeria and the rest is history. yemmit90: |

anonimi: Read the part where I wrote that after tasting the wrath/imprisonment of the North, he knew that the North held 9ja by the balls and will not let go. Awo also saw possible annihilation of Igbo, whose leader Zik was in coalition with Northerners before the coup. Displacing Igbo means more opportunity for Yoruba, an advantage Yoruba people have retained till today as the North continue to mistrust Igbo due to January 1966 coup and Biafra declaration. Remember Awo was only truly interested in Yoruba issue. It was pragmatism and not being a nationalist. Remember too that while in prison Awo had lost political influence to SLK (who supported Balewa's FG-that imprisoned Awo). SLK had just been killed in the coup. Even if Awo wanted secession when Biafra declared independence, he could not have convinced Yoruba leaders to join him. Western Region was seriously divided, the reason Awo could be so easily bundled into prison by FG in the first place. |

AreaFada2: A long list of excuses for Awolowo’s failure in this regard. Just like Azikiwe and the Igbos who thought they would be champions of this Luggardian amalgam fought the civil war of secession and are now doing it again, so also Yorubas who missed the separation train before independence like Pakistanis and Bangladeshis did with India, and missed the Biafra opportunity, are now struggling to get out of this unequal merger of 1914. All in all, the Fulanis know how to pay the price for our leaders’ loyalty until they are no longer useful to them. 1 Like |

anonimi: Well, Awo is not here to give us his exact reasons, neither is Zik. Fact is our early leaders were pretty naive. Enahoro admitted later in life that back then they did fight for independence but didn't realise the herculean challenge it would be to rule or something along those lines. Simply, they believed that once the British were gone, Africans would be able to work together amicably. They didn't plan to rule. Manifesto for agriculture, education, infrastructure and such were not enough when unity was elusive so early on after independence. Even today Southern leaders are scrambling for crumbs from Northern table. They are begging the North just to be allowed to be president. Even if a Southerner is president, the North hold all the ace cards. So what have we Southerners learnt from Awo's and Zik's failures even with the benefit of hindsight that they didn't have 60 years ago? Nothing! That puts Awo & Zik way ahead of any Southern leader that came behind them. At this rate, I can't see Biafra, Oduduwa Republic or ND Republic being particularly successful if they were to split. Not due to lack of resources or talent or whatever. Nigeria has super corrupted people too much. A corrupt politician will not suddenly become different because he is now in a new country. No, he won't. States are mini-countries in today's 9ja. Has it stopped governors from being corrupt? No! Split to satisfy ethno-nationalistic yearnings? Yeah. By all means. A panacea for success? No! South Sudan is a good example. |
