YoruBads:
Awolowo was a notorious coupist.

Ditto Abiola. Abi dem use coup (Treachery) do juju for Yoruba?.

Summary:

Chief Awolowo was a thief
Chief Awolowo was a megalomaniac like his tribesman in Abuja.
Most Yoruba politicians at that time were kleptocratic and corrupt (thieves).
Northerners and Easterners were the opposite of their Western counterparts.

The above lends itself to the assertion that Chief Awolowo was probably guilty of the high treason charges brought against him by the government.

Those people are the worst thing that happened to Nigeria.
After the war, the North concentrated on politics and left the economy to Yorubas.
Awolowo quickly rushed and instigated an economic heist called Indigenization policy that handed down all foreign companies to Yoruba elites as Igbo elites were broke after the civil war which was exacerbated by the £20 pounds policy Awolowo ran.
The end result is that Yorubas including Awolowo inherited all foreign companies in Nigeria which they subsequently ran down through poor management and plunged the country into recession with high unemployment rate.
Take a clue to how they have ran the country since the North under APC left the economy to them, it's same pattern.

Financial frugality and savings is not in their dictionary.
It's all about flamboyance, owanbe, living above one means.

These people are not of the same mould as Ndiigbo and we have no reason whatsoever sharing same country with them.

You're actually the dull one

He was responding back to the guy with sarcasm.

Too bad it flew over your educated head

What you retards now do is deflect to sarcasm when your illogical premise is pointed out.
Funny thing is, many of your folks have been defending the stupid statement and even the
quoted guy has accepted his folly by default.

mrvitalis:
So can you be sentenced without being found guilty?

Being found guilty is irrelevant.
Why and the evidence for the guilt verdict is more important in a political context, at least, for properly educated people.

flokii:
Awolowo was framed up for attempted coup plot he knew nothing about while the real coup plotters were in Tafawa Balewa's Government, scheming and strategizing on how to carry out their plan right under Balewa's nose..
The so called ally was enjoying cruise ship ride and holiday abroad while Balewa and all those they ran Government together back home in Nigeria (specifically the non-Igbos) got murdered in cold blood.. yet they want us to believe the blame should go to Awolowo that was in prison and not Zik that was hiding abroad to save his own head.

I wonder how Awolowo, who is himself a Lawyer, managed to be framed in court?

Really so Kanu can be innocent even when found guilty?

No need to digress.
You think I am one of those emotional kids who lose their reasoning when a particular name is mentioned?

If Kanu is convicted with no evidence, yes, he will be innocent regardless of the number
of years he gets.

Now back to the topic.
Do you think being convicted for "attempt to overthrow" the government automatically makes any suspect
a coup plotter?

Care to compare assets with a retard 🤔
I take offense to a small boy calling me dumb.
Ikenna from Onitsha don't do mouth. I post facts you can see .

I purposely asked that direct question which I know you will avoid as you belong to the usual suspects group who stands for nothing
impersonal.

Assuming you are a reader, there are several books and documents that dealt with the trial including:

"The Trial of Obafemi Awolowo" by L.K. Jakande (1966)
Obafemi Awolowo's Allocutus(1963)

For future sake, Judges are not gods or super humans.
Judges do not gather or present evidence, their job is to deliberate on the presented evidence and give verdict.

BTW, I fully support the 1966 coup and the targets, the only regret being that Nnamdi Azikwe, one of the instigators
of political instability escaped death.

What is really curious is that you seem to see judges as infallible gods in certain cases even with no evidence while opposing their decisions
in others.
