That's shows how yoruba loved other tribes in Nigeria to foster unit but they see us as their enemy and behave otherwise.
infact, in d July 1966 counter-coup, d Head of State [an Igbo man] was to be captured and killed in Agodi, Ibadan and the soldiers came ,told ADEKUNLE Fajuiyi [the then Governor of d Western Region] that they will spare his life but Fajuiyi a distinguished Ekiti man declined and he was killed along with d Head of State, Aguiyi Ironsi! Yorubas are committed race and will go to any length to defend any cause they believed in, infact, there were many Yoruba soldiers dt fought on d side of Biafra during d civil war....not teaching History in schools is a big disadvantage

We all know the ibos a an irredeemable bunch of animals so there isn't really any need to prove ourselves to them. It is their jealousy hatred envious ways and stupid pride that has denied them top position in this country and will continue to. They are the main reason the north continues to dominate the political landscape of this country. Bunch of ndi aras.

It is a known fact that Awolowo was prepared to work with Zik, in fact he had asked Zik if they could form a Government together, but Zik prefered Ahmadu Bello. Why do you think people then referred to Zik as the beautiful bride. Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello were sworn enemies hence Awo was jailed in the 60s. But both could work with Zik. If the Igbos have a problem today, they should trace it back to Zik.

And when Igbos call Hausa the slave masters of the Yoruba, I can only laugh. It is on record that the Hausa and Yoruba have never voted in similar fashion except in 2015. Just check history.

Zik accepted to serve under Balewa in 1960 and 1964. Ekweme accepted to serve under Shagari in 1979. Both Hausa and Igbo voted Shagari/Ekweme. In 1999, the Hausa and Igbo voted Obasanjo remember. So who really are the slaves here?

The summary of the police calculations in Nigeria was shown in 2011. The South united and voted in Jonathan. It means if the South unites, they will always defeat the North. The North always seems to be in charge because the South is hardly ever united.

Zik was referred to as the beautiful bride during the run in to the 1979 presidential election NOT the 50s/60s! The battle for the South East vote was intense between Awo and Shagari. Both Awo and Shagari needed to woo Zik for the eastern vote hence the beautiful bride!

I must confess, I learnt a lot from that writeup, hope the NL ibos will understand the content. Shows Yorubas are very pragmatic and willing to co-operate so long as it for the beneficial of both

U don't understand anything, awo nominated zik to form a govt okay, because he saw that NCNC hard followers than AG. And mind u the same awo betrayed him, which brought up hatred among IGBOS and YORUBAS.

So the yorubas started ashawo pattern in our political arena. Thanks

For your mind abi? Some times, you may have no option than to nominate the best man for a job cos anything else will not work.
That said, why ddo the Yorubas think that the average Igbo man hates him?
We cannot move forward if we continue with our prebendal politics as well as elevating mediocrity and tribalism over and above merit and efficiency.

The evidence are there, Chief Awolowo was detribalised, ready to work with whoever. He was a master strategist, the aim of the calculation was to form a solid alliance with the Eastern region so as to dislodge the North.
But don't get that twisted, as explained, Chief's choice of Great Zik was not because Zik was best for the job, but because Chief Awolowo was ready to strike alliance with him and that was a token of trust. The evidence of the best man for the job is there evident for all to see. Even in this 21st century, the Eastern region is still struggling to catch up with the West. A legacy set by Chief Awolowo.

Lies again...
Records had it that as at April 1967,the Eastern economy was the fastest growing economy in Afrika...and this was before crude oil came into the show.
You are the liar here, he is actually right all the first institutions in Nigeria like TV station, Print media, University and free education were established by Awo in the Western region. Infact Oil production started after the war under General Yakubu Gowon and the regional type of Govt was not in existence any longer but the Supreme Military Govt. LIAR!

Awolowo DESTROYED Nigeria's unity, IRREPARABLY, in 1952, when he, Awolowo, engineered the CARPET-CROSSING of NCNC members into his new party, the Action Group. Nigerians have not known peace since that day.

Facts are sacred. History!

But you have not told us what Zik did after he failed to become premier in the West

He went to the East to also push aside the Efik man that had been designated as the Premier of the East


So?

What is the difference between what YOU ACCUSE Awo of and what Zik did?

Stop hating, at least I'm sure nobody from your coward family will ever measure to the least Igbo man. You are too lazy and dull to rival an Igbo man. That is why your father didn't make it, hence he gave birth to a lazy pig like you
