The Truth Of The Kano Riot Of 1953 by Giddy11513: 4:40pm On Mar 04, 2019 |
On 1st April 1953, Anthony Enahoro tabled a motion in the federal House of representatives to the effect that the house accept as a primary political objective the attainment of self government for Nigeria in 1956. This motion was seen by Northern leaders as being directed against them. The North and it's leaders were not ready for self government. Ahmadu Bello, the sardauna of Sokoto, leader of government business in the North as well as leader of the NPC, said so in the House. He amended the motion to read that the house accept as primary political objective the attainment of self government for Nigeria as soon as practicable. The Southern political conscious citizens booed and jeered at the northern leaders on their way back to Lagos. Soon after this event, the Action Group sent a delegation to the Northern Region under the leadership of Chief S. L. Akintola. The main objective of this delegation was to show that the stand of the NPC on the self government issue did not represent Northern opinion. When the delegation got to Kano, they got a very hostile reception which led to bloody riots. Extracted from Longman |

If you check history the north, obafemi awolowo representing the SW, present day SS under adaka boro never wanted anything to do with Nigeria, it was the igbos who believed in it, and when it was obvious the shi.t contraption is not working, and decides to leave, all hell got loose from the north, SW, SS that they must remain with millions dead and the scars remaining. 1 Like |

gidgiddy: Same thing occured in 1945 Jos riot when the north fell on the ibos with gusto. However, inspite of all these wanton killings, ibos (of the 3 main regions) were the only sole proponants of One united (sic!) Nigeria with specific inclusion of these same Northerners in the new country and then aided and abetted their first shot at rulership of the soon-to-emerge nation. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:And weirdly enough, it was the yorubas that jeered at their leaders when they came to the South.... and not the Igbos. Yet somehow when the madness began in Kano, it was the Igbos who were all along minding their own business the Northern mob decided to set upon. The yorubas fueled the crisis and went into hiding , and the Igbos who had nothing to do with it did the fighting, and bore the brunt in the fallout of violence... sad but true narrative worth putting into perspective. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

T9ksy: You mean Igbos forced the other two Regions to be "one Nigeria"? How times have changed. When Igbos left Nigeria, the other two Regions were now singing "one Nigeria" louder than a Canary. Those two Regions went to war to fight for 3 years to bring Igbos back into "one Nigeria" 7 Likes 2 Shares |

T9ksy: There was no discernig mind here, we Igbos know the score. When there was no Oil, the other two Regions were not so bothered about "one Nigeria". As the Eastern Region developed its vast Oil and Gas resources, that's when the other two Regions decided that 'one Nigeria' was a divine project. We all know that the unity of Nigeria is based on Oil. We know "one Nigeria" is just a code for "share the Oil money". 5 Likes |

BaaleOko: One interesting fact and result of the harassment of the northern politicians in Lagos was that northerners imported thugs from kano and other places to settle in Obalende to act as protection whenever they came to Lagos. The Hausa community remains the dominant ethnic group in Obalende till today. When Osinbajo was campaigning for Buhari he went to pay homage to the Seriki Obalende at his palace. They even posed for a picture in which the palace guard placed a koboko on Osinbajo's neck as a symbolic gesture 5 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Before the coming of oil wells in the colonial nation, you guys were already foretelling and chestbeating of dominating everyone else in the country. And when, may i ask, did the eastern region commence the development of its phantom vast oil and gas resources considering the fact that, the first oil found was in Olobiri, in 1956 ? In the first republic, despite fasttracking the developments of her imaginary oil and gas reserves, what infrastructural feats/benefits did the eastern region delivered to her people that wasn't surpassed by the western region who didn't posses all these "vast and oil resources"? Yet both the northerners and the yorubas still preferred regionalism to the ibos who persisted in chanting the discordant tune of One united Nigeria like inebirated newts. The moment the ibos had the chance they unified the country without so much a plebscite and against public outcry, mainly from the north who are by now hooked on ibo blood. 4 Likes |

T9ksy: You people love to twist history to suit whatever narrative you come up with. Did the Easterners drag Northerners or Westerners, kicking and screaming, into Nigeria? You all willingly joined the Nigerian project on October 1st 1960 just like everyone else, to see if we could all make a success of it as an independent nation. It did not work out, the Easterners left. You Westerners and your Northerners then came to the East to fight a 3 year war to bring the Easterners back, not because of any belief in the Nigerian project, but because of oil. To this day, the chant of a one unified Nigeria is loudest in the North and West. Almost 50 years since the end of the war, the west and the North have been largely running the country in all that time and messed up Nigeria big time All the things you say Igbos did, you all went on to do a hundred times worse. When the North, ablely supported by their Western cohorts, took power, what did they do? From 4 Region, we now have 36 stares From not being interested in Nigera to singing "one Nigeria" louder than a canary From accusing Igbos of domination to blatant hijacking of the political system to exclude others That's why the North and West like to go back to the 50's and 60's to highlight whatever they think Igbos did wrong, in a desperate bid to cover up the fact that they did far much worse since the war ended in 1970. 4 Likes |

topstone4: First of all is not an Igbo coup, infact the coup was stopped by the igbos. OK so now, before the coup.....all other region were threatening to pull out, in fact awolowo called Nigeria a mere geographical expression, he had issue with zik which boils to a clause in ythe constitution that gives self succession. |

gidgiddy: We 're both saying the same thing, mate. However, despite the north slaughtering the ibos in 1945 and again in 1953, I can't help wondering why the same ibos still willingly went into the One Nigeria project believing it can work. Infact, it was the same ibos who insisted that the One Nigeria project MUST work and as such "cessation clause" should not be entertained in our constitution. And when did the ibos realised the union is not working? When Issac Boro believed the project is not working the ibos fought to bring them back into the union probably 'cause they still had hope in the project and of course, they were at the helms of power, then. The west have always been in opposition whilst you inos have always took a subservient role in the northern govt of the day. It's instructive to note that insipte of all the atrocities the north (as alleged by you lot) perpetuated against biafrans during the oil war, the same ibos willingly jumped into bed with the north in the 2nd republic. Let me just stop here. 2 Likes |
