Today, I have the greatest honour to celebrate the Posthumous Birthday Anniversary of our first President, Journalist and Nationalist, His Excellency, Dr. Nnamdi Benjamin Azikiwe as he marks another birthday anniversary today.

Though, he is no longer with us in his physical body, but his spirit is with us and we will continue to defend his legacies.

Happy Birthday Sir!
The man who fought Awolowo tooth and nails to ensure that the option to cede out of Nigeria is removed from the constitution because he is eyeing the development in south west compared to south east and he never wanted the south west to one day leave Nigeria which would mean go back to you Anambra but instead it is after many years of trying to catch up with south west to no avail his grand children wants out thinking they could have a fraudulent country of their own and still remain in south west but as Zebudia would say that is foul foul foul....

Happy posthumous birthday to the only premier who survived the coup because it happened when he traveled out of Nigeria to about "con incidence" grin

Zik of Africa is one of the reasons why we're in this mess currently. When Awolowo brought about the clause of secession in 1954, Zik shut him down.
Zik made secession a reasonable offense and funny enough, most Igbos don't know this. They keep blaming others for a problem one of theirs created.

Happy posthumous birthday Owele of Onitsha.
Assuming there was session clause in the constitution, how would that have prevented Nigeria becoming the mess it is today? Is it secession clause that builds a nation?

We dont need to have secession clause in the Nigerian constitution to end Nigeria if we see its not working, the British did not create Nigeria with any unity clause

So the British came all the way from Europe to force us all together into their colonial project called "Nigeria", with any unity clause

The British returned back home in 1960, but you that they forced into the colonial project, now need secession clause before you can leave a union that was not your making?

Why?

During the 1954 constitutional conference in Lagos, Awolowo raised the issue of secession. He predicted that at one point or the other, a region would want to secede from Nigeria but Zik vehemently stood against it and shut him down.
Zik used his influence to sway the majority who shut down the opinion.

After that, Awolowo again wrote to the the Governor General but the governor still rejected it on the on the grounds that majority led by Zik rejected it.

In fact, it's because of Zik that secession was made a reasonable offense, it's because of Zik that section (86) was inserted into the Nigerian constitution.

Mteeeeeeeew and so what undecided FG should remove the man on #500 and replace it with that of TINUBU immediately according to majority of Nigerians
LoL a son challenging his father to a fight. Tinubu in his next life will never measure up to Zik the father of new Nigeria, Pan African nationalist, his father was secretary to Lord luggard so they technically formed Nigeria just that the civil war shortchanged the Igbo that's why I look at some of you and laugh. Awolowo was one of the boys that went and waits in front of Ziks gates early morning of those years

How much will you pay me to waste my time explaining that to you and the reason I ask is because people only value what they paid for and disregard what they get freely?.... Do you think people who fought for their independence or to retain their independence would scorn it at any chance they get? grin

OK

The British made you a Nigerian without any unity clause

But anyone who no longer wants to be a Nigerian must first go and find secession clause

Our people blame everyone apart from ourselves for our problems.

An Igbo man also made the idea of referendum impossible.
An Igbo also led the forces that crushed Adaka Boro when Boro tried to secede ND from Nigeria. Funny enough, that same Igbo man turned around and tried to secede the SE from Nigeria but was also crushed.

The Greatest of Them All
A man whose parents were igbo but with Benin ties. Born in Zungeru northern Nigeria, studied overseas at a very young age , grew up in the western part of Nigeria and started his political career as an avowed nationalist. Zik candidly saw all Nigerians as human beings.

Never was he accused of tribalism. Never encouraged genocide against any ethnic group. Refused to call the NPC to form the government after the general elections of 1964 were rigged beyond imagination especially in South West. Disagreed with Ojukwu on principles and set the tone for national politics that was based on solid Pan Africanism..

A lot of people think that he made a mistake by not being an ethnic jingoist. But they forget that by taking the high road and setting the bar high, he raised the tone of political discuss in the country. Those who chose to swim in the gutter of tribalism and sectionalism were the ones who took the bar down into the latrine. History has always remembered them for that infamy!

And yes, it was after Awolowo covered Ziks political campaigns from his perch on a tree for a local newspaper, that he got motivated to enter politics. (Don't argue with me, read Awolowos autobiography). In essence, maybe if there was no Zik, there might be no Awolowo..

Think about that for a minute..
Read history. He's the first bigot (1949 speech), first tribalist, first coup planner, first President, first antagonist of secession clause, later embracer of secession (biafra), first renouncer of biafra...
Full of contradictions...so tey igbos no rep him.

The worst Nigerian politician ever.
The shameless political harlot who prided himself 'the beautiful bride's of political parties


The yes-mam and errand boy and stooge of northern oligarchy.

The weakling who orchestrated the mess we find ourselves in Nigeria today.

The history of nigeria to southerners and middle-belterns can never speak well of uouy.

May you for in hell.

The professional, institutional scapegoaters have arrived for duty.

Ask them how Nnamdi Azikiwe contributed to Nigeria’s current crisis, and they’ll swear it’s because he refused to sign the secession documents.
Ask about Nnamdi Kanu’s offense, and suddenly attempting to break up the country, becomes gospel. Ask why Igboho walks free while others are hunted, and you’ll be served another breathtaking confetti of contradictions and excuses. The hypocrisy is a full-time job.”

Was Zik powerful enough to stop the north from going there way and was not powerful enough to get Biafra to their way . This culture of scapegoating is getting too much.
