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.

Those days when nationalists had the interest of the country @ heart and nominated who was fit for the task without bias. Not now when tribalism and sectionalism have ruined the nation

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.

You must be Igbo. Your approach to things though!

Fajuyi was also marked for death, HE NEVER BEGGED TO DIE with Ironsi.

EternalTruths:


Who instigated the Cross Carpeting of the 50s that denied Zik the post of premier Western Nigeria..?

Sanguine77:

The east is struggling to catch up with the west? Aside Lagos which development is as a result of its former status, and maybe Ibadan, which other west are you talking about?

MrAdeDayoAdedapo:


Your people had a hand in murdering 3 million of their children because they asked to stay away from you, your people have hands soiled in Ibo blood and you want them to forgive you just like that? Are you insane? Have you even asked for forgiveness in the first? why should those millions be forgotten? just because you say so? Have the jews forgotten hitler even after germany have made reparation?

Zik from the east will be "denied" premiership of the west, Mumu, wanted to call you a goat, just that i didnt want to embarass them.
Its like saying that Ambode was denied Governor of Anambra state. why do we have m0r0ns so much on this site?

WIZGUY69:



What happened to Eastern Nigeria?

You can't reap from where you didn't sow.

because Western Nigeria is developing in a very fast pace, zik decided to leave his own region to govern another region. isn't that greediness?

that's how ojuku & friend decided to invade Lagos (western Nigeria) before they were sent back bare footed.
