Ignorance of the highest order. This was a parliamentary system and it is perfectly legal under this system for two or more parties join a coalition in order to form a government.
Thre same process produced the government led by Balewa and Zik.

SamNaijaboy:
I’m sorry to say but you are clueless.
Awolowo was not the tribalistic one. Zik actually was.
Let me take you to school a little:
Your question was what would have prompted West people to vote Azikiwe and not Awolowo? The West voted NCNC the party they started with Herbert Macaulay as founder. Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba, was the head and without any tribalism gave Zik the party leadership when he died. The NCNC was the biggest party then. Won in the East and the West. There was no Midwest yet then. Ojukwu is mixing timelines here. However Zik should have left the West for the Yorubas that founded the party. However he wanted to rule from Lagos, being the capital. Which was in the West. Hence wanted to be premier in the West as well. This would have led to a situation where Igbos were ruling in both including the West where the Yorubas that founded the party were.
Of course that was not acceptable to the Yorubas. If you are wondering why that was not acceptable, would you found something and then because your founder died and a “foreigner” was leader, abdicate all rights to even your own land?
Ask yourself, why didn’t Zik offer the Western region to the Yoruba deputy Akinsanya instead of trying to be greedy for his own tribe?
Only a greedy person would want everything to be in his tribe’s favor but that seems okay to most Igbos since they appear to be very greedy.
The Yorubas voted along party lines and voted NCNC, their party they founded. It took Awolowo to convince them overnight that Zik was greedy and they voted with their feet. I’m sure convincing them must have been easy since Zik had in 1949 at an Igbo National Congress speech said the God of Igbo had destined them to dominate Nigeria and Africa. If Zik had given the premiership to a Yoruba man, NCNC would have won the West.
The problem was Zik who saw nothing wrong with putting an Igbo man as premier of the East and then an Igbo man as premier of the West despite the fact that a Yoruba man founded the party and he inherited it from a Yoruba man. He had no sense of justice and fairness and was rightly put in his place

SamNaijaboy:
When has an Igbo man founded something and gave it to the Yorubas to lead like Herbert Macaulay did? And we started the politics of tribalism? Zik held on to NCNC with nepotism lens until it became an Igbo party
Mostly the Igbo like to think they are smarter than you and will try to offer you a horrible deal and then take offense when you reject it.
Let’s talk Biafra. When the first constitution was being drafted, the rest of the country wanted a peace secession clause. How a region can leave peacefully. Only Zik opposed it. Fast forward 12 years, the country was fighting a war to try to achieve what could have been done peacefully except for Zik.
Why was Zik so bent on the country being together?
Who abolished the regional powers and came up with confederacy? Ironsi an Igbo man.
So why did it seem that the Igbo not only wanted the country to be together by force for ever but wanted things centralized? They assumed they would dominate the union.
When outwitted by the North, they took out all the leaders of the North on the first coup. Including Westeen leaders. And forgot to kill theirs

Success1020:


Afonjas are naturally insecure. Even Luggard talked about it... he has never met a people as insecure and self centered as Afonjas. I don't know of any sensible Igbo or even SS that likes to deal with afonjas. Even in abroad, they know we don't like to associate with them! I don't even let my kids around them. I'll let my kids around Hausa-Fulani before afonja. Why? As one Nairalander put it "Hausa-Fulani only fear Igbo's domination but they have zero jealousy or envy for Igbos. But Afonjas not only fear Igbo domination, they envy Igbos with passion. Envy is deadly, someone can kill you because of envy." These people are naturally wicked; they don't know God and God has never known them!

MelesZenawi:



Lolzz

Same tribalism.

There is a saying that no matter what, a snake must give birth to something long.

All comments are again riddled with tribalism

These are few among many who has countless said how awolowo introduce tribalism to Nigeria today.

mrvitalis:
The invention of social media is the worst thing to hit the yoruba midea houses , truth can be gotten in few mins

U betrayed a man , took his leadership few moments later want to form a government with him and expect him to trust u .....only a dumb fool would think that

Iamgrey5:
Yes we led the first coup that destabilised Nigeria

Yes, we were the ones that led a civil war

Yes, we are the one queuing behind a random nobody to destabilise the country in a bid to get an utopian country.

We are the ones leading BOkO haram, Fulani herdsmen and co

Don't you see if you chase Yorubas out of Nigeria; you guys will be having a wonderful time with your Hausa masters.

Iamgrey5:
Exactly! most non-yorubas in Lagos, Ogun and Ibadan are from Sudan, while Onisha is full non Igbos from all over Nigeria.

MelesZenawi:


Sudan is also a Yoruba nation.

Iamgrey5:
oh sorry, they are from Cameroon then

Still part of hausa fulani - Yorubas alliance

Printerscanner:


This hatred, anger and bitterness which your parents planted in you is the reason why you are sad, miserable, depressed and suicidal. We the Yorubas refused to be in alliance with you, how does that become a problem? If you start the nonsense you started in 1967, we will react the 1967 to 1970 film. Nonsensical nonsense!

gurnam:

The movement in demographics simply put a lie to this rubbish

Iamgrey5:
Ok Europeans then

MelesZenawi:


Simply business not for fun.

gurnam:


If you like shift the goal post from Abakliki to Ghandazou, fact still remain you Ibos migrate more to yorubaland than any other place in this world

MelesZenawi:


Time has passed for lies.

Do not give wings to evil. what is called tribalism today was blown by awolowo.


Nobody can deny that.

MelesZenawi:



[s]Lolzzz

Is obvious u know Yorubas don't travel.

They hardly leave their enclave, I think is because they fear competition.

Worldwide Igbos are travellers[/s].


Ask ooni of Ife.

gurnam:



Sharraaaappp
The fact that only Ibos get arrested everywhere for all manners of crime under the sun doesn’t mean they travel more. They only travel more to commit crime without any ambition to add value to those countries except crime

Bloody tribe of criminals

Guestlander:


Is it also tribalism in other countries with parliamentary systems? This is the problem with Africans trying to inject their primordial thinking into a system they obviously didn't understand properly.

MelesZenawi:


Primordial indeed.

Unongo, lamido sanusi, igho and hosts of others said same thing about awolowo tribalism nature whenever he is failing or feels defeated, he weeps un tribal sentiments.

He is a failure.

MelesZenawi:



At least they don't beg for unity or look for who to join them in revolution.

MelesZenawi:



Is this not same thing I just said about awolowo.

Have, you submission is just another load of tribalism....lolzzz

Is not surprising many northern elites has laid credence to it and you just did it again yourself.



All what u wrote revolves heavily on tribalism. Sometimes many people begin to wonder why people celebrate such man.


Even his end was disastrous and shameful

is only a fool that will emulate an ethnic bigot.
