He's not the first to say it. Everyone that grew up in that era that's non-yoruba have said the same thing.

SLS said it
David Mark said it
Igho Natufe said it.

Unongo is not the first to say it and I highly doubt he'll be the last

Awolowo introduced tribal politics into Nigeria.

Zik was more popular even in yorubaland, until Awo stirred up tribal sentiments and his people fell for it.

awolowo.
the same man who said if Biafra secedes he will lead Yoruba's to secede too. only for him to join forces with Gowon. A bitter pill we will never forget. Anyway the past is past. Everybody has learnt his lessons, thanks to Fulani guys for making the middle beltans realize how sweet one Nigeria tastes

Unongo has been given a befitting reply by various people, especially those from his constituency in Benue. If you have been following the news reports you would have realised it. Now back to my previous comment which was actually NOT addressed to you in the first place, but to the respondent who made the remark: "Oh lawd! They have started their propaganda again...! Chukwu biko!' shocked

If that comment hurts you too much, hug the nearest transformer. Your choice!

What do you think about what Unongo said, is Awolowo the cause of all the troubles in Nigeria?

And he wants us to believe that he is "non yoruba". Why is the "non yoruba" crying and wailing about east that a middle belter stated awolowo is the problem of Nigeria.

Desperate to be non yoruba but that DNA of his just can't help push out a complusion to act like his typical Afonja tribe even when he's anonymously trying to fake non afonja.

That laudate is indeed a clownish joke grin grin grin grin

What derogatory words? You were the first to talk about ignorance being exposed. I merely used the same words on you, and now you are whining? huh

Should I provide you with newspaper articles of other people who denied that Awo ever said such a thing? Will that satisfy you?

I don't care about those articles. If u know ur English very well I said before that I got the info from a Yoruba man. So does a million other Yoruba people debunking that make me a liar?

It means you are canvassing an erroneous position, which is untrue. If one man makes a statement, and others who know the full story say it is untrue, why would you keep repeating it?

young man, I said I learn that from a Yoruba man, wat us my business whether its true or lie. U even went ahead to call me a liar for saying that I heard it from a Yoruba person. People like u are pitiable. u wrongly accused someone and the person proves u wrong and all u do is to shift post.

Please paste the post, in which I called you a 'liar.' sad I am waiting. You heard something from a Yoruba man, and without cross-checking if it was true or not, you have been posting the same claim up and down on different threads. Even though other Yoruba people have come out to say it is not true. You still persist in doing so. Those of us who are not even Yoruba can understand where they are coming from, but you have refused to accept the points that have been put forward to debunk those claims. Oya, continue....

Sam Aluko who was close to Ojukwu, has even countered this narrative from Femi Aribisala that you keep peddling.

Aluko, who afterwards attained a reputation in the public area for his critical standpoint on the policies of several Nigerian governments, would later paraphrase Chief Awolowo’s frank and blunt encounter with Ojukwu in an interview titled What Ojukwu Told Me Before, During and After the War – Sam Aluko, (a most intimate account of Ojukwu’s thoughts and actions while the Nigerian civil war lasted) treated by the NVS of Saturday, 3rd December 2011:

“Look, governor, you cannot secede. You cannot go alone. Just as you fear the North, the West also fears the North. The soldiers in the North are occupying the West. So, we have the same common interest. But don’t let us secede. Let us do whatever we can do together to unite and confront the North, so that we can have a settlement on how we want to run this country.”

But Ojukwu, who had since 27th August, 1966, said among other things in a broadcast he made in Enugu following the spate of killings in the North that “One thing has come out very clearly from this, the preceding and subsequent events, that there is in fact no genuine basis for true unity in the country…..”, and had independently announced 29th August as a day of mourning for Easterners, rebuffs Awo’s view outright, and starts to brag about being battle-ready; something his critics describe as “Sheer emotional grandstanding”. Ojukwu announces immodestly:

“I started this struggle in July (1967) with only 120 rifles to defend the entire territory of the Eastern Region
…I am proud, and my officers are proud, that here in the East we possess the biggest army in Black Africa. I am no longer speaking as an underdog; I am speaking from a position of power.” https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/211253/bubbles-burst.html

Lol. Azikwe that held Igbo supremacist views suddenly wanted to rule the West because he understood Yoruba language. Barawo banza cheesy

If he had won, his people would have been telling us today how he was able to rule because he was better than all the Yorubas alive like Kenneth Dike in UI. It's only an ibo you'll give an opportunity and he'll think he has outsmarted you out of desperation to prove he's better. Ordinary councillor that they gave them in Lagos, they are already chatting rubbish.

Said to who?

Awo told the federal government that 'IF' Biafra are allowed to secede the west would secede.

That's a conditional statement my Wawa osu brother.
