That's because at independence the pool of educated people to lead Nigeria was smaller than it is now.

AlfaSeltzer:
Abokii. Are you sure he knew what he was doing?

Roger3D:
And the ibos had to kill him

Silverstars:


Have you heard this man speak. He was the most eloquent man to come out of this country.

If this man was our president today, trust me, you would be proud.

When he spoke, western leaders listened with rapt attention.

Just go to YouTube and see one of his videos.

Are u agreeing to the fact that Sowore is too young to become a president? We had better woke up and collect our future and that of our future generations from these old thieves. As youths, we can fight it out with Sowore if he messes up because he can understand our pains as young people. These old thieves still sees Nigeria from the eyes of the 70s,80s that is why they see us as fools. I refuse to be a fool. I am going with a young Nigerian president this time.

kyjuan99:

was he eloquent? yes
but zik was more eloquent

The 'ibos' did not kill him....Ifeajuiana, and company (which included at least two Yoruba guys) did.

Plus Ifeajuana and Nzeogwu were from minority, Igbo speaking tribes domicilled in what is now Delta State. Techincally speaking, they were not Igbo.

laudate:


Technically speaking, they were not Igbo?? O gini? Na wetin you talk so? Ok, I forgot - they were Efik, no, they must have been Kanuri.

Cromcruach91:
There are many tribes scattered around the major tribes that speak the same language,but technically speaking are distinct people.

Example...the Ikwerre of Rivers state. (If you want two Ikwerre people to fight, just get them to discuss whether they are Igbo or not...).

I once worked under a guy who came from the general area that Nzeogwu came from. Had an Igbo sounding name, spoke the lingo...but did not identify as Igbo

Elparaiso:


And the comparison stems from?

coolscott:
Buhari knew there was a chance for a second term and he behaved the way he did.

How will he perform when he knows there is no other term after this (if we mistakenly make him president again)?
.

laudate:


Being 'young' does not mean he has the capacity, ability, skill, competence and knowledge to run this country. I will not sacrifice competence, on the altar of youthfulness. Sorry, Sowore will not get my vote!

ifeajuna took him out with extreme prejudice
saraduna called him his lieutenant in lagos
the enugu boys scattered the revolution

I am not asking u to vote for him. He is certainly getting mine because I had seen him portray the guts that most youths of our days won't dare to. I have seen him take on the president, Senate president, members of both houses of assembly, past leaders of this country without fear. I think it's what we need for now, someone with courage to tell the world that u are a thief and proof it and then prosecute the thief if he has the power. Jonathan was competent,buhari is too to u I guess when we voted them? There are so much to learn on the seat of power only if u really want to make a change. Donald Trump isnt competent but was elected the American president. American economy has never been this good for decades and top American companies that left for China are coming back home and unemployment rate is drastically decreasing. He might be controversial but he is really what Americans need for the now to get better cos he has got the will to match his words. I see something similar in Sowore but not exactly the same as Trump though.

He has not put forth any ideology or blueprint to show he can govern this nation effectively, or turn its fortunes around.

igbodefender:

Balewa was killed by military supporters of Awolowo. These guys should have dropped their uniforms, joined Awolowo's party, campaigned for his release from prison where he was jailed for coup plotting and campaigned for him in election.

We are talking of Ademoyega, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna.

janellemonae:


U should know dt if an Igbo person does not compare and compete, he can't be confident in himself.

laudate:


Military supporters of Awolowo? Where do you people get these lies from? Chai!

AlfaSeltzer:
Zoo people think speaking good english is a sign of intelligence.

igbodefender:
Do your research. They planned to make Awolowo Prime Minister, taking Balewa's seat and giving him. Don't pretend you don't know. This issue has been over flogged in Nairaland.

kerry57:

It's obvious u don't know, tafawa balewa. He is the most eloquent leader the North have ever produced. He is highly educated and eloquent as well. He speaks pure British English as a matter of fact the queen's English. U probably go to youtube and download his videos. This is the only northern leader of those days that I still respect.
