You yorubas are very much complicit...your diabolic romance with this retrogressive north have also contributed immensely to the stagnated state of the country!
When other people from other tribes said exactly what this northerner said,you called them haters of the country,haters of the north...but you yorubas know it's the truth....your govs knows it hence that 2021 parley!
And see how the guy is trying to prove so hard that he's actually a northerner because he knows people like you and others aswani dotherightthing roger3d softmirror maasoap martincorridon blackpantherxxx burob elsudani will definitely call him and impostor and Ipob...
God will save us from betrayers

Tranquillity360:
Tr!ash.


So Zik opinion was greater than that of your awolowo and those of leaders the north.



1967 when their is second chance for that what did your awolowo do?


Since over 50 years Yorubas and Hausafulanis are ruling, what stop them from doing the right?

Even from the screenshot you posted, you failed to mention the stand of your British master and the owner of Nigeria.

Odani:
Watch how they will chase all the banks from the north if they tried anything otherwise. You think the north are headless like the south?


I will remind you if this post in a few months

Goodmarlian:
Yoruba man so na now you know? Unfortunately it's too late, awolowo has blown the opportunity, nobody leaves the union without heavy bloodshed even igbos are not ready forget talk.

lawani:
Biafrans invaded the west and Midwest and they pushed back which resulted in the invasion of Biafra. Prior to that they refused their land to be used to invade Biafra and there were no Northern soldiers in the west or Midwest. Nigeria was only attacking Biafra from the North. Do you expect the west and Midwest to submit to Biafra without a fight? Put yourself in their shoes

Zuckembego:
What did Awolowo do? The reason why Nigeria is still together till today is Nnamdi Azikiwe! You guys are not talking about it at all. You know the truth and because it will hunt you down, you blame it on Awo. You can chatgpt about "the 1957 and 1958 London Constitutional Conferences" to get the exact script of each person, read it and digest it without any bias. Then you can tell yourself who's fault it is.
So, stop talking lies and propaganda up and down!

Ngozi123:
Are you saying that Yoruba soldiers had refused to fight until the Biafrans entered the West?

Soldiers from various backgrounds were stationed all over the country.

lawani:
Yes that is what I am saying. There were no Northern soldiers in the west and there were no troops at all in the Midwest. The people that attacked Biafran troops in the Midwest were civilians. There were Yorubas in the Nigerian army and there were Yorubas in the Biafran army.

Ngozi123:
So, you're saying that the Yoruba soldiers in the Nigerian army had refused to fight the Biafrans until the Biafrans had invaded the Mid-West?

Can you please provide evidence of this?

Ngozi123:
Nigeria has undergone various coups and military regimes since its inception. Were any of them done in conjunction with the constitution?

Bakassi was given to Cameroon. Was that in the constitution?

Stop pretending that the constitution matters or that anyone in power actually follows it. If they did, would there be wide-spread electoral malpractice?

Stop blaming Zik and look to your leaders of today.

lawani:
The Yorubas and the Midwesterners had refused assault on Biafra from their land. They asked all Northern soldiers to leave in the west and they did. Only Gowon was remaining in Lagos

Ngozi123:
From what I read, Yoruba leaders including Awolowo demanded that Gowon remove all Northern soldiers from the Western Region, using the threat of secceding alongside the East if they did not get their way. Another example of using the Igbos as a buffer.

Gowon initially agreed, opting to move all Northern soldiers from Ibadan to Kwara, which was on the border to the Northern Region but later rescinded this when he declared a state of emergency in May 1967. This was before the Biafran troops had stepped foot in the Mid-Western Region.

Overall, it looks to me that Awolowo was much more involved in this issue that first thought. How did he know that the East was going to seccede if he wasn't involved in prior discussions about it?

I also think he had a hand in Nzeogwu's coup or else why would he demand the removal of Northern troops in Yoruba land? Doesn't that seem a bit paranoid to you if his hands were clean?

Goodmarlian:
We in the southeast too will not pay it come and force us na.

Onlinetutor7:
As long as you keep blaming Yoruba for the plight of Igbos, they will keep bringing the role Azikiwe and Ironsi played in the whole mess.

Igbos need to drop the hate and strategize on the way forward.

I'm Igbo, but I must say my people are too emotional and less tactical

lawani:
Northern soldiers committed a lot of atrocities in the west. They attacked Igbos and even killed the governor of the west during a coup. They only took advantage of Nigeria because the west was not their territory and we were not colonized by them. If not for Nigeria what would Northern soldiers be doing on Yoruba soil?. We have known the Hausa for centuries and they have never crossed their boundary. Those would have been the arguments advanced by Awo and Gowon obliged as the other option would be to kill Awo and he would not have been able to contain what would have followed.
How could Awo have had a hand in Nzeogwu coup? Was he in the military? He was accused of planning his own coup and the people he was accused of working with were the Ghanaians and not anybody in the Nigerian army.

Ngozi123:
It has now been revealed that the Premier of the Western Region who died alongside Ironsi was deliberately assassinated due to his alleged involvement in that coup. It is said that he personally trained many of the main players in that coup. The coup plotists had intended to put Awolowo in power. He may not have had any direct involvement but may have been involved indirectly.

Igbo people have been carrying this blame for decades and have suffered because of it. It's an injustice of the highest order.

Revisionist theories!

lawani:
Colonel Fajuyi was killed because he was armed and he insisted on protecting his guest. According to reports they begged him and he refused. He was outnumbered yet would not allow the arrest of General Ironsi inside government house in Ibadan. They had to shoot him to get at Ironsi.
There was competition between East, West and North and there was no way Easterners would plan a coup and put Awolowo in power. It is not done anywhere. I see that narration as an afterthought. Somebody like Obasanjo only became head of state because General Mohammed was killed in a coup.
The best way out is for all groups to work for the dissolution of the country peacefully. Then healthy competition can commence.

For example how can an account turning over one hundred million naira a year avoid tax if government wants to make it pay? Such an account can not avoid the tax. Those who can avoid tax are small holders. Then start paying tax now because dependence on oil can not last forever and Nigeria can break up anytime

So what ?
Agreement is Agreement

First admit that the first claim was a lie

You don't get to Escape one lie by telling another lie


The clause Zik negotiated was Secession is treason that was the agreement
Secession is treason repeat Secession is treason
When Awolowo tried to put Secession in the agreement he was shot down

Agreement is.............Agreement

Awolowo stuck to agiriment


CIVIL WAR?
That is another topic
Is that why Eboes killed everyone and spared their leaders in January 1966 coup
Then when the Northerners retaliated you want to cancel agreement

You want to do that and take the South South?

Una get sense no be small

Mandate1:
wetin this taxation go cause. Has there not been taxation in Nigeria before now? There's no business in Nigeria that doesn't pay tax, either to the local govt or state. But you taxing cashflow is another dimension entirely. For every increase in tax on a business, the price of the average commodity or service rendered goes up. The final consumers bear the brunt of taxation. You don't tax cashflow you tax profit.

So if my business has cashflow of 1bn, you tax the cashflow not minding I make profit or not, then at the end of the year you still tax my profit. Absurd.

The north gets more than the south when federal funds are shared
Are you aware that Lagos State has 20 LGAs compared to 44 in Kano

Are you aware how much the Northern states spend on Hajj? Even borrow to send people on Hajj

So they have decided what their priorities are
Do not come here to gaslight us
