You’re the one disgracing your lineage with boldness my friend. The western regional parliament had 80 seats. After the 1951 election, AG won 38 seats, IPP won 6 seats, Ondo improvement league won 2 seats, Otu Edo won 3 seats, independent candidates won 3 seats and NCNC won 29 seats. So tell me, how did NCNC won majority of seats?

Oh sorry!!!! I thought I was quoting a logical man.
Goodluck...

I wouldn't call it a "blunder" for Awolowo. Awolowo's intentions were noble and he believed so much in progressive doctrine of governance. He saw the northern oligarchy as a threat to an even and just Nigeria. They even jailed him because he stood against northern interests. That's what prompted him to approach Zik. He begged Zik to see reason. Zik agreed. On the day when the alliance was to be formed, Zik INSTEAD ran to the north! He left Awolowo stranded and vulnerable. Awolowo was determined. That's why he declared free education, built the cocoa house (first skyscraper in Nigeria), built the first TV station (among many other firsts), in South West to facilitate development. What did Zik call him? A TRIBAL LEADER!
I'm sure their Kanu of IPOB isn't a TRIBAL LEADER right now.
History is there to learn from. We must know where we're coming from. This isn't propaganda. It's the truth. I won't banter words with any Igbo kid that comes here to rant over what is not.
May God heal Nigeria!

........When the civil war was about to break out, this same Awo went to their leader there and ADVISED HIM NOT TO GO TO WAR YET.

Read the history very well, Awo was almost killed by irate Biafran soldiers and on getting back home, Awo was arrested by Nigerian government for TREASON!

Yorubas contributed soldiers to the Nigerian army fighting the Biafran soldiers but that's where it ended until OJUKWU ATTEMPTED to make inroads here after he overan Asaba.
That's when the likes of Awolowo rose up and showed that brain is ultimate, not brawn, when it comes to warfare.

Back to the discourse here, Awolowo RECOGNISED what we are all suffering now. He attempted to SHIFT the political balance with Zik. Zik reneged and followed what he believed was political gain at the expense of many things.

If Zik had realised that it's better to work with Awolowo, he'd have laid his joker on Awo's table rather than trying to see how he can subdue a "foolish" north. He was badly mistaken.

Fast forward to today, Igbos are as beautiful as they come. No doubts about that. But history is history. Truth is truth!

You mean why Yorubas refused to accept an Igbo premier?.
No wonder Ojukwu had to sacrifice a whopping 3 million people, just to annex Yoruba land.
The whole country knows who you guys are, 2023 is around the corner, you people will still come back to wail BIAFURO or LESHURSHURE.

ORIENTATION101:
Zik quest for domination is what ruined the first Republic. Awo+plus zik forming the govt would have rewrote the undue advantage given to north.
AG delegates during London conference opined for insertion of secession clause in the Constitution.was supported by north only for them to make U-turn after zik convinced them.
Am happy the descendants of zik re suffering from the foolishness and greediness of their ancestors

He sure does sound like one.

When u took the western region he won few years later u go to beg for alliance. ...and expect him to trust u ?

U guys must think u are smart

JAMO84:
Was the Western region his father's house?
Had Awolowo allowed zik to rule the west after he installed Okpara in the east, I would have personally dug his grave and pour acid on his dead body.

Zik was a greedy intruder who encroached our house and we chased him away, how is that a betrayal?



I AM DONE TALKING

In 2015 u sided a northerner against a southern brother
Now u want 2023 when its igbo turn ? Pick an igbo candidate and support to prove u care about south

The fact u guys need to get is this ...the next southern president must be an igbo ( south south or south east )
If u say no let the north keep ruling

Throwback:
Hahahahahahaha!

You see why we who know the Igbos do not care for all your crocodile tears.

How can a tribe be so engrossed with payback to the point that they have no actual ambition of their own?

The pain of Igbos over the 2023 election is not that Peter Obi did not win, but that he lost to a Yoruba candidate who also defeated the Northern candidate that was their alternative in that election.
