The Reason Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe Went North by madridguy(op): 9:00am On Mar 13, 2025
After the pre-independence election, no party had a majority in Parliament. Both the Chief Obafemi Awolowo-led Action Group and the Sir Ahmadu Bello-led Northern Peoples Party approached the Azikiwe-led NCNC for a coalition.

For reasons not to be exposed of his corrupt practises Dr. Azikiwe chose to form a coalition with the NPC and accepted the role of ceremonial President, a role that had little power beyond declaring open Parliament and receiving visiting Heads of State.

They are the quintessential "fulani slaves" right from the time (American-trained) Dr. Azikwe was happy licking Tafawa Balewa - a Grade II, teacher training cert. holder's, gorro back...side.

But not as slaves..

That’s the difference between Igbos and Yoruba people

Of course, zik took the best decision by aligning with the murderers of his people else he would have lost his post!

All the deaths recorded since lies squarely on his head (zik) simply because of a ceremonial post. Even with the benefit of hindsight, you can still make such a moronic statement. Gosh, you folks are just irredeemable!!

Both ran to suckle the anus of fulani and northerners for power and wealthy..

While the Yoruba people were suyaed carelessly

Even boldly stray betray the interests of the south even his kind for crumbs

Nothing like betrayal here. From the account of the man, he never said anyone betrayed anyone. The point is that Zik stole money and to avoid being jailed he ran North on the instruction of the colonial masters grin

Or Tinubu that has pocketed a whole self claim sophisticator in his back pocket and sat on them.. while the worship

Can the elders enlighten which is more noble between the position of a ceremonial president for a zik of Africa who fought for the independence of the country and was given a well deserved position that could be likened to the queen of England. or awolowo who started political Crisis in his own region fighting with his own people thrown into prison who was later released and appointed the minister of finance to a 31 yr old military head of state who was placed there by bloody coup plotters who didn't want to rule the country directly but indirectly through Gowon their puppet?

May have lost his life too.
Very strange that the hapless agbadorian OP is trying to make a fuss about Ziks refusal to work with that political serpent called Awolowo, after what happened at the Western House of Assembly with their Ronu Cross Carpeting. I mean the evil cross Carpeting that ushered in ethnic confrontations in Nigerias politics afterwards...

Awolowo was someone who followed Zik from Day one as a struggling journalist. He was covering Zik for a newspaper then. One Hapless journalist like that.. Dude got his inspirations to join politics after coverings one of Ziks political rallies from a Mango Tree! (He said so in his author biography) He will then rush to upgrade his qualifications..., only to join politics as a typical Yoruba irredentist.

Ziks motivations in politics are worlds apart from that of one starry eyed Awo. People make it look like Zik was tonedeaf by not playing tribal politics like the rest. What folks do not understand was that the country was doing relatively well politically, untill one garrulous dwarf injected his rabid strand of tribalism into the nations politics with his Egbe Omo Oduduwa nonsense..

Oh, so zik is now a Northerner 'cause he was born in the north?

Omo, you miss road o. You hould have gone to the entertainment section. I won't reply you again as I don't suffer for.ols (like your good self), lightly.
Re: The Reason Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe Went North by madridguy(op): 10:39am On Mar 13, 2025
Since you now claimed Ziks is from the North, why not stay there and contest election instead of running down the Western region ?

Thank God Awolowo didn't steal from his bank or anywhere that would have warrant the colonial master to use that to blackmail him and also force him to their side.
