Awolowo wanted all the minorities tribes to have their regions, so he moved motion for mid West and released them.

Igbos refused to let their own minorities to leave, so is the north.

Yoruba are the only people who don't hold other people hostage and the only president that will release Nigeria during their tenure.

I learnt Awolowo fought so hard to keep the mid west region with the West. However politics from the likes of Azikiwe ensured that it was removed because it would reduce Awolowo's chances politically and at the polls. Azikiwe had such disdain for Awolowo that he aligned with the North to ensure, Awolowo didn't emerge victorious. Infact he assured him of his support tricking him and making Awolowo believe he had Azikwe's fellowship. It was on Awolowo's way to meet Azikwe's that he learnt of Azikwe's alliance with the North. I believe this was the foundation of the rivalry of the two tribes because afterwards Awolowo didn't pretend about his revenge against Azikwe and we their children have borne this life long beef even when the two politicians are long gone. Two men had beef for each other which has begat such high level of hatred and deliberate sabotage of each other's endeavor. I pray we all find healing

The ohus at it again.

The Midwest felt they had everything to be on their own.

The Oba of Bini was at the forefront pushing the agitation and it was successfully tabled before the regional house in Ibadan from where the majority Yoruba House voted overwhelmingly for a Plebescite that was duly conducted and concluded.

Similarly , a Yoruba Federal Parliamentarian raised the motion in Lagos for the ratification of the Plebescite and for the creation of Midwestern region.

There was no opposition by the Yoruba be it in Ibadan were the matter was allowed to be debated nor in Lagos when the results were being ratified.

Was this the case in Enugu ?

You idiots are now desperately trying to twist my threads that highlight why the Ibo coup of Jan 15 were staged.

It is you Ibos that ran a very ethnic divisive administration in the old eastern region that saw to all non Ibos wanting to leave.

Lies from pit of hell

Midwest saw hell in the hands of western region dominated by yorubas..

Azikiwe's political acumen gave rise to the creation of mid West after so many years of of marginalization by Yorubas..

In fact, Oba of Benini would be locked outside the hall for coming late during western region traditional rulers council dominated by Yoruba chiefs..

All these embarrassment and marginalization gave rise to agitation of Midwest which they voted yes to leave during plebiscite that was engineered by Azikiwe..

Azikiwe equally capitalized on that which weakened and crippled Awolowo's influence in the politics of Nigeria

What were the reasons advanced by western Cameroun seperatists in 1959?

Why did the northern provinces of western Cameroun choose to remain but those in the then Eastern Nigeria vote overwhelmingly to leave Nigeria.

Yoruba civility in the midst of ethnic minorities wanting to leave and forge their own path is the reason Midwestern region remains the only democratically created region.

Why was COR region vehmently struck down in Enugu ?


The coup of Jan 15, Ironsi's Unification decree, the declaration of Niger Delta Republic and subsequent brutal clampdown by Ironsi , the refusal of Ojukwu to accept Decree 8 , the rejection of creation of Old Rivers and old Cross Rivers from the old yeast and the declaration of Biafra with the annexation of the already Ibo weary minorities in the east and the revamped madness of Biafra are all pointers to the Ibo relentless attempt to annex the SS peoples.

You are a bloody liar.

Midwest creation began in thex regional house in Ibadan .

There was no referendum clause in the constitution courtesy of Zik .

But Ibadan allowed for a Plebescite for internal seccesion.

The creation of Midwest out of the western region was what buoyed minorities in the old eastern region to petition the regional house in Enugu but all that was met with a brick wall.

The minorities them approached the federal parliament in 1965 and secured the support of western, Midwest and northern legislators.

The matter was to be tabled in 1966 immediately after resuming from Christmas break.

This is why the timing of the Jan 15 coup is very important because it sought to stop the federal house from creating COR region out of the old yeast.

Can you tell me why Ojukwu was calling for a return to status quo after Gowon created old Rivers and old Cross River despite being the lone military administrator to welcome Ironsi's Unification decree that abolished regions ?

The only reason for Biafra was because you parasites could not bear being left on your own and so you decided to annex the same Ibo weary minorities and form your rogue nation.

Awolowo was in prison when the Midwest split from Western region.

The instability in western region as a result of Awo vs Akitoye factions was the major reason cited by the leaders of midwest to break from Western region then.

Ambrose Folorusho Ali the first premier of midwest was an Awoist who believed in the principles of Awo socialist economic policies.

The Midwest is at least having a lot in common, from history, dialects and a lot and as far back 1916 when the Benin had a king again, Oba Eweka the 2nd wrote to the colonial masters telling them the boundaries that should form the Midwest and reminding them that he and his people should not be lumped with the Yorubas whom they have nothing in common with. The British, out of wickedness still lumped them with the Yorubas. The desire to be themselves started immediately, and Eweka's son Akenzua took it upon himself and formally started the campaign in 1948, of course with other prominent sons of that region till victory was achieved in 1963. With this summary we thank our forebears for not giving the Afonjas any room to manipulate them with the fake Oduduwa mythology and lies of being one with them.

Ohu, the Plebescite was granted in a Yoruba dominated regional house in Ibadan and from there the final result of the referendum was ratified by the Federal Parliament.

A Yoruba man moved the motion in Ibadan and another moved for the ratification of the Plebescite in Lagos.


Was that the case in the Ibo dominated eastern region ?

Unfortunately, it's the exact opposite. An average Igbo man is still pained that Awolowo didn't support the Igbos during the war. They therefore believe Yorubas are the course of all their problems. It's also so evident in you. Na why you dey create different account on Nairaland just to drive home my points: an Igbo man masking his identity, faking to be Yoruba.

Actually, their hatred stems from 1951 when Zik's NCNC party lost the election in the western region. They claimed yorubas are tribalist because they don't want an Igbo man to be in charge of their affairs.

I wonder, why does an ibo man wants to rule over us in our land? 7 decades later, igbos are still mad at that loss, chanting "carpet-crossing" without any shred of proof but quick to label us, tribalists.
