Penguin2:there are 3 regions, each man from each region is to lead his tribe An Igbo man is leading Igbo region An hausa man is leading Hausa region An Igbo man still wants to lead Yoruba region Is that right? Does that make sense? |

I'm from Delta, pretty close to where Nzeogwu is from likewise Okowa. If I'm lying, let it not be well with me. Apart from being Igbo, I'm aligned with Easterners because they've shown they're the true progressives. I'm also a Canadian. helinues: |

helinues:Do you know who the first mayor of Enugu was? A Fulani, voted by Ndi Enugu. This was pre-independence era. But you have issues with Azikiwe wanting to be Premier of Western Region. Didn’t the voters know that Azikiwe would be Premier when they were voting his party to form majority? |

Penguin2:Are we talking about Mayor position here or premier position. Who was the first Mayor of Lagos state? Why should Azikwe leave his eastern region and want to become premier of Western region? Tell us what's his Azikiwe business in being premier of where he's not from. |

One thing about Zik and Awolowo which Nigerian history teaches us is that Zik managed to achieve far more political stability in the Eastern Region, than Awolowo ever did in the Western Region For all Awolowo's claimed intelligence, the Western Region turned into the 'wild wild west'. Awolowo was fighting with everyone, Adegbenro, Akintola, you name it. The situation in Western Region became so bad that the Region became the first in Nigerian history to have martial law, or state of emergency declared there, and Majekodumi was declared sole administrator The Western Region was beset with violence on another level, they were even pouring acid on themselves in 'opration Wetie'. The 1964 elections in the Western Region was a total disaster, it's a miracle that Awolowo s supporters and Akintola's supporters did not bring the entire country to civil war Awolowo may have been an intelligent man, but he never managed to make the Western Region politically stable |

Penguin2:Owelle didn't win the elections, none of the parties got enough seats in order to produce the Western region premier so needed help from minor parties They both then had to come back after agreeing to form coalitions with minor parties, AG got more parties to agree than NCNC. This is how, in some years time, you Obidients would restart you claim that you won the 2023 elections? Stop the blatant falsehood. |

helinues:There was no time zik contested to be the prime minister of western region, rather zik contested for a seat in the western house of assembly from Lagos which he won under NCNC , the person contesting for prime minister under NCNC was Yoruba not zik , so stop the propaganda You might say why did zik contest for a seat in the western house of assembly, he did cause he was a pan African, he believed in one Nigeria not tribalism that's why Mallam Umaru Altine,a Fulani from sokoto was elected as the first Mayor of the City of Enugu, the capital of eastern region with no tribalism |

Again revisionist! Some act "smart", forgetting that others can see through thier schemes. Zik started tribalism for his personal interest, not for igbo cause even! Read history! Contest for western premier was in 1950s, so tribalism didnt start then! Egbe omo odua was formed in 1945 by students in the uk. (Awo was secretary, while Adeyemo Alakija was president). Zik wrote from Nigeria condemning it's formation (calling them imperial stooges and jingoists), forgetting that IFU (Igbo Fed. Union and ibibio Fed union) were already formed since 1938 and 1926 respectively. I know this coz I read the rebuttal campus article. Zik then inaugurated the Yoruba Fed. Union in 1948 (exposing his tribalism) to weaken Egbe omo odua. That singular move unfortunately helped to rally support for the latter just like the current yoruba consciousness. The beef was so evident that ibos and yorubas bought all machetes in the Lagos market prepping for fight that year. With this historical background, how do you blame Awo for tribalism during premiership election in the 1950s,considering Zik made the statement below in 1949:

Goosethetruth:Chief Obafemi Awolowo showed his descendants the perfect way to handle these marauders from that landlocked arid zone. I really pity woke id1ots like Rufai Oseni,Mr Macaroni and Dele Farotimi who associate with them order to look enlightened. The Victor Banjo treatment awaits them if these people attain what they are looking for. What the baying and unruly obidients mob are currently doing on social media will be child's play. |

aswani:Don’t spread falsehood and try to rewrite history. Check the thread, all your kinsman agree and know that Awolowo used tribalism to poach Azikiwe’s men. Azikiwe never needed a coalition. If AG went into coalition, name the parties it went into coalition with. And how many political parties were registered by then? |

Penguin2:Who are your kinsmen? Off the top of my head, the Ibadan party of Akinloye etc (I can't remember the actual name now) formed the coalition. This was actually where the term Carpet crossing came into parlance, due to the seating arrangements, they physically crossed the floor of the house to go and seat next to AG to be counted. No one from NCNC was poached, they aso wanted to be in government but they were simply not as good enough as AG to convince the minor parties to join them in an alliance. Feel free to Google "Western region carpet crossing" for all the other questions you asked. Stop with the misinformation. |

Comparing the IQ or smartness of an Igbo man to that of yoruba man is an oxymoron. Igbos are light years ahead of yoruba I. All facets. Tell yourself the truth |

May God continue to bless the great sage Awolowo for saving Yorubas from Igbo domination agenda.. they can cry tribalism from now till the day they'd kick the bucket, we don't care.. Yorubaland is for Yorubas and going forward, things will get tougher for covetous bastards trying to steal our lands and heritage.. Yorubas go still sell una like slaves for hard labour in future. |
