Dedetwo:The real person than chickened out was Azikwe who saw defeat and betrayed his own people Till date Azikwe has no achievements on his people he’s only remembered as akobata of Fulani people with a Yeye ceremonial president role |

Dedetwo:Boy if I talk I speak with integrity and evidence. The problem of you folks on here is that you don’t research and you are just parading a novice view about history. Azikwe fell out with Balewa later in 1964 during the parliamentary election. Infact he refused to form a government with Balewa and he wrote and epistle where he told the press then that the Igbos might leave the Union for the unjustified affront of Balewa to rig the election. The same Azikwe was the one that begged and used statements to persuade the north not to leave the union Nigeria. This is public knowledge and if you search online you will see Azikwe lengthy statement to convince the north not to secede. I have pasted the statement on Nairaland before. Azikwe is everything wrong with a statesman, he was a double-mouthed backbitter who had no iota of integrity. His desire to rule Nigeria made him carry out a lot of wrong against the system with his rubbish one Nigeria mantra while hiding his ethics domineering agenda. Try to read about Azikwe and his life on earth and tell me if you are proud of him for the legacy he left behind for the Igbos and Nigeria as a whole! Below were Azikwe words during the fallout: “ I have one advice to give to our politicians: If they have decided to destroy our national unity, then they should summon a round-table conference to decide how our national assets should be divided, before they seal their doom by satisfying their lust for office…. Should the politicians fail to heed this warning, I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be child’s play, if it ever comes to our turn to play such a tragic role.’-President Nnamdi Azikiwe, 10 December 1964, in a ‘Dawn Address’ to the nation.” |

Akiara:lol. Everybody knows our God given slaves in Nigeria.Conquered and begging for freedom. Yes,everybody knows the real betrayers and backstabbers.They are Igbos. These are verified Igbo betrayals to Yoruba,South,North and the whole Nigeria... Igbos betrayals.. 1.Azikiwe betrayed the South to give power to the North. 2.Igbos later backstabbed the North and South by killing their leaders. 3.Aguiyi Ironsi betrayed Nigeria by foisting Unitary System of govt on the populace with decree 34. 4.Igbos betrayed Nigeria by supporting Abacha through the 1millon people march. 5.Igbos betrayed the South by always voting for the North. 6.Igbos betrayed Yorubas by voting for Tofa,another Northerner.... 7.Ojukwu betrayed Awolowo by starting a war they both decided was not going to happen as soon as Awolowo left.Ojukwu wanted Gowon to think that Awolowo and he agreed that the SE should go to war. 8.Ironsi (Igbo)betrayed Effiong (Akwa Ibom).. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/08/biafra-and-echoes-of-1966-ironsi-exposed-my-dad-to-coup-plotters-son-of-ojukwus-deputy/ The list goes on... |

The efforts many of you put in these arguments and divisions should be used to unite the south. North is in the driving seat in Nigeria because of our divisions. The current structure favours them because the south is divided. We're too divided and the north uses these loopholes to outsmart us. The two biggest tribes in the south are always at loggerheads. The British implanted this division among us and since then we ourselves keep doing things worse. Had the British not created a Western and Eastern region, do you think Azikiwe and Awolowo would have had that mistrust. A southern Nigeria with a unity of purpose would have had a Zik as Prime Minister and an Awolowo as a Premier of the south and not the other way round. Both working together as Herbert Macaulay had wanted. But because the British never wanted a progressive Nigeria they handed power to conservative and religious controlled north that would keep this country docile and stagnant. Today, the Yoruba man sees the Igbo man as an enemy and the Igbo man on the other hand is wary of the Yoruba's and don't want anything to do with them politically. Until the Yoruba and Igbo swallow their pride, and look for common uniting ground to work together this country will remain in northern hands. Imagine we had a southern patriot as President in the mould of Buhari of the north or an Awolowo of the NYM era of the 1930's the south would have held her destiny in her own hands. What this country need now to be free and progressive is a southern patriot that would unite the Igbo's, Yoruba's and all progressive ethnic group this contraption has held down. |

LegendHero:Stop copying and pasting craps from obscure sources. Azikiwe did not fallout with Balewa. There was electoral disagreement between the contesting political alliances in 1964. Balewa might have been the leader of the government but leader of NPC. As the head of state, Zik cautioned the contending parties to tread honestly. He was a member of NCNC in 1964 however the party was led Okpara. The UPGA decided to boycott the election in 1964 hence the riots of 1965 in certain parts of the country where the election was rescheduled due to the boycott during 1964 election. By the way, the party of your grandfather, Awolowo, joined Zik's party in the alliance. |

Omoodua007:The bolded is stale. The Igbo's have been fair to Yoruba's politically than the Yoruba's on the Igbo's. Abiola got 40% of votes in Igboland and Obasanjo won Igbo votes. The Yoruba's are yet to reciprocate this gesture and this the reality. |

Dedetwo:Now you are just running in circles and you turn out to give more evidence to my claim. I had said in my first statement that zik betrayed everyone and everybody. Ask yourself why did they refuse to ally with Balewa later in the elections of 1964 and the complementary election of 1965? Why did Zik who formed a governor With the same Balewa during the 1959 parliamentary election suddenly backtrack to retrace his steps? Did you know Zik accused Balewa of rigging the election? Did you also know Awo was in prison during those periods? |
| Re: Awolowo Would Have Had A Better Relationship With Michael Okpara by LegendHero(m): 7:54pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
UdechiHD:Can you tell me anytime the Igbo man was the frontline presidential candidate of the two main political parties since 1999? Even pre-1999, the Igbos have no moral authority to accuse the Yorubas of not voting them after all they did by allying with the north almost at every election cycle since 1959. In 1983, when Ekwueme was Shagari Vice, Azikwe still went ahead to contest that election such that Awo will not be able to stand the heat from both divides coz it’s evident there is no rallying point for the southerners. Even the 1999 election which you voted for Obasanjo was just because you had no choice. So what are you saying exactly! |

UdechiHD:I did feel your plight and that was the same mindset I had some few months back. I spoke about this in a light way with either you or lab DNA on one former thread, I don't remember the actual username. The issue here is that both of our tribes had little in common to be honest, it will be really hard for both of us to come together with one voice. Do you know that even if we both coexist in the south as a country on its own we will still have constant bickering and fighting. The African man has a certain DNA within us that chose to always recognize it's own and by default we tend to be tribalist just that we all Express it differently. Check state elections, there are lot of zoning and rubbish tribalism even going about in states. The major clans within each state tend to decide who rules and who is left in the background. We vote based on clans and you would but wonder whether Africa is truly under some form of genetics deforminty (although the europeans were like that before). We will always try to find a division even if there is none, study the pattern online among even older people, they all retain the same mindset to issues. The Igbos and Yorubas can't come together with just online pacification or mere rhetorics, there need to be some reorientation that could transcend decades. I'm quite sure both Awolowo and Azikwe would have thought to work together too but just that nature divided us on purpose. Still waiting on a proper blueprint that can foster unity among the Igbos and Yorubas tho. |
| Re: Awolowo Would Have Had A Better Relationship With Michael Okpara by Nobody: 8:38pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
LegendHero:You're right, a form of reorientation can kick start that unity. A typical African attaches a lot first to his clan and then ethnic group before his country. Infact the attachment to his country comes last. In the case of the Igbo and Yoruba, our division was ignited by the British and promted by our both leaders Zik and Awo. When Herbert Macaulay was leading the political landscape, such never existed. But when Zik took leadership, his immaturity became bare to see and he allowed the forces of division destroy everything that Macaulay built. This why I pity IPOB who think Biafra will not be infested by the Nigerian disease of clan and subgroup attachment. The same with an Oduduwa republic and a Niger Delta republic. Despite the open confrontation between Igbo's and Yoruba's it is on record that they've never had an ethnic clash before? So if both can still maintain their cool despite the insults and provocation, don't you think that both still have a better chance of cohabiting together than the north? |

UdechiHD:People like us can try to do what we can by trying to comment devoid of personal insult. We can all learn from each other online and most times it is not about who wins an argument or not but about learning history from a different perspective. Part of our problem as a nation was that we have distorted history, many lies that tend to divide rather than unite us, and we have a dogmatic mindset of not questioning our previous attained knowlege. Also one thing that is contributing to our problem was that we are too fixated on the past, both Yorubas and Igbos continually forget to let go of past animosity among us and we constantly remind ourselves of what did not happened during our time to shape our present. I know both tribe internally wish we could come together but just that our tribal ego supercede the urge to unite. |

LegendHero:True! Most of these historical distortions are done by politicians and ethnic champions from both side. They tend to choose only the history that suits their division agenda's. They won't tell you the similarities of both languages and probably the origin of both from same family tree. They will not talk about how Herbert Macaulay entrusted leadership to Zik an Igbo who he took as his own son. They won't tell you how someone like Guy Ikoku an Awoist disrespected his father Alvan Ikoku and Zik's philosophy and joined Awolowo even to the extent of being tried with him for treason. They won't tell you how Ibadan was the intellectual ground for most Igbo scholars. They won't tell you how Fumilayo Ransome Kuti, Adeniran Ogunsanya and many other reknowned Yoruba's allied with Zik even against Awo till their death. They won't even tell you how Ajayi Crowther a Yoruba freed slave scripted the Igbo language. They won't tell you how Zik first son came about with a Yoruba name Bamidele. They won't tell you how Zik and Ojukwu spoke Yoruba language fluently. They won't tell you how Gani Fawehimi and Rotimi Williams fought Igbo legal battles even to their own risk. Lastly, the won't tell you how notable Igbo politicians stood with Abiola during the June 12 struggle. Nor how an Humphrey Nwosu risked his life by announcing the election results that proclaimed Abiola the winner of that election But they will always talk about the cross carpeting and betrayal of Awo to Zik happened, they'll talk about how Zik supported the north against the Yoruba's, How Zik used his position to elevate an Igbo as VC in UI, How Awo supported Gowon in the civil war and the $20 pounds policy. How an Nzeribe used a court order to truncate Abiola s victory. They will never want to connect to the things that unites us because it may put to shame their plans. I remember when the Ooni of Ife kick started something back then, you could see the animosity that sprung up from the ethnic champions. |

UdechiHD:Bro God bless you. It is a work in progress. We can actually start little by little from even the Nairaland ecosystem. Just that for me anytime I promise myself never to reply or be angry at any bad comment against me, a moniker will just come and frustrate me to my elastic point such that I will have no choice than to also retaliate. Same thing happens to the Igbo folks too. Anytime they try to be cool, a Yoruba might just come to frustrate them to the brim and the cycle continues. We will definitely come together one day, just that I don’t know when, but I’m very sure it will happen. |

You write long epistles that are full of halftruths and blatant falsehoods. This ELECTION and subsequent statements from your unstable,treacherous and cowardly elders can't in anyway forge a united South!! You Y.A.R.I.B.A have totally alienated yourselves from the South. Una go hear am soon. The cabal will only do what they do best....USE A USEFUL AFONJA TO MESS UP THE CURRENT AFONJA! Your treachery was so bad that the disaster Ajimobi even had the audacity to say that Makinde was an IGBO candidate! Even though Ajimobi's candidate lost it, shows how pathetic the reasoning faculties of your elders are. 2023 is around the corner by then you'll see that the noise you call sophistication based on falsehoods will be trashed thoroughly! ! Power is going back to the North in 2023 and you can't do NADA!! I pity anyone that is under your school of thought. Just so pathetic.... 2023 .....we wait LegendHero:
