Awolowo Would Have Had A Better Relationship With Michael Okpara by Omoodua007(op): 12:16am On Nov 22, 2019
Looking back now a lot of the Igbo beef started by no other than Nnamdi Azikwe
Okpara on the other hand was very cool headed and focused on his people’s growth sadly he wasn’t the supreme leader of igbos

History may have been better assuming it was awolowo and Okpara who transacted with each other
Zik was a self obsessed leader living in on idealism
Okpara was more realist

Azikwe was a very greedy and foolish man whose focus was to rule Western region.

And that is an achievement. smh that's why he was on a cruise abroad when his colleagues were killed in a bloody coup probably expecting to be called upon to rule afterwards.

Did you not read what the OP wrote before you responded ni? Why do Ibos like to self-flagate for no reason? Let me bang your head small.

You remember SCORPION? Im sure you do....which Igbo does not? Adekunle was Okpara's ADC before pogrom. The same Adekunle demolished your assets and flattened Biafra along the coasts. Anywhere Biafra was on the coast SCORPION found it and let hell loose.

Would you have preferred the pair of Adekunle and Okpara as political partners instead of Awolowo/Okpara?
Re: Awolowo Would Have Had A Better Relationship With Michael Okpara by Nobody: 6:28am On Nov 22, 2019
Awolowo again...


I stated it clearly that Awolowo made a mortal mistake of assuming he could poke his life saver and benefactor without consequences.......and of course he died regretting his actions.


No young generation should be advised to follow the footstep of Awolowo....it will only lead to self destruction by any arsenal available.


Some lazy propagandist and theorist said he introduced free education............Free Education that is free of knowledge with her curriculum embellished with ethnic topics.........We still call it suspicious and blank.




Though he was condenmed on Earth but it will look that as it is on earth so shall it be in heaven.

Sometimes you guys gloat over what sounds like a fable.

Scorpion indeed while his fore father's was displaced from Benin republic down to Togo while the remnants remain In this estate.

Maybe those periods his father's doesn't have balls between their legs and can be rightly tagged slaves of which a gave was given to them to answer till this day.

Maybe Scorpion doesn't die...he will live forever...like his ancestors.

Someone that died by his own hand not more than 40 years ago is what you term father of Yorubas.


He is a father of tribal politics,.... ethnic bigotry.

Though he ended his life with his own hands...
Re: Awolowo Would Have Had A Better Relationship With Michael Okpara by Area4Area: 7:02am On Nov 22, 2019
Zik the man who lacked foresight that leaders from other regions during his time all saw, all he wanted was to become the leader of a unified Nigeria and never gave a damn about the future.
Even at that he only became the ceremonial president general just like the Queen of England who has no real power but she's the ceremonial head of state.

As far as I know Nigeria' problem until tomorrow was Awo's obsession with competing with Zik in every sphere of life. It drove him to make decisions that were terrible and self defeating

Nkakwu.....I have told you if you done with your businesses in Igboland you can rightfully migrate back to Yorubaland...Your fatherland..

After all men in their old age do retire and move home to get some rest.

If you done...then move home and consult your father's on necessary history.

azikiwe was a pan africanist.

this was informed by the racism he experienced while schooling in the u.s in the 1920s.


when he came back to africa he became known as Zika of africa, his revolutionary struggle didnt even start here in Nigeria.


Zika of Africa julius nyerere kwame nkruma Kenneth kaunda. these re the real African icons.


while Awolowo at best is an ethnic champion. even the north hated him

You back others to your detriment because of your lack of foresight, you backed GEJ in 2011 for president even when the NW requested that they complete their second term since Yar'adua was dead and Peter Obi, Ohaneze and several Igbo politicians refused.
You were even reminded that power would move to the South and of the SE in 2015 and everyone refused. That's why people like you are now begging for the SE to be given the slot for president but who would even look at you.

Continue backing other people at your detriment, you love others to progress but you remain stagnated or even retrogressing.

Don't lie so early in the morning. Vincent Ogbulafor was removed as PDP chairman by GEJ and co for insisting on zoning.

Pan africanist who couldn't decipher the peculiarity of his immediate environment, even Awolowo in that popular saying when he told Zik "he should remember we have differences" and vision less Zik replied him "let's forget our differences".
Is it not that same differences that we all are suffering today?

The whole south supported Jonathan in 2011 stop making it as an Igbo affair
The whole south saw a Chance to relegate the Fulanis that had held this country back for years

Even if the Igbo's knew they were going to be the biggest losers and extend the time frame for an Igbo president ... Yet we did it for the benefits of the south ...and nigeria at large . that tells you the mind set of the average Igbo man ....only for one part of the south to betray the agreement in 2015

Yes the Igbo's failed ,yes we tried to prevent a mistake like buhari ...

Now we are offering the north their chance back in 2023 ...like u did in 2015 ...north know Igbo's don't like them ,we know they don't like us ,but we form alliance when its important ...we don't pretend
