Dedetwo:
You are really not intelligent enough and do not have the skill sets to comprehend. Otherwise I would have pleaded with you to read 1963 Nigerian Constitution. As for the old fool, I guess you have parents to recognize one who is old and fool. Ndigbo fought a war your forbearers and generation shall never have a dream of it. There is never inferior complexity in defeat after a war instead it instills respect.
Was Awolowo part of government the government that wrote 1963 constitution?

What has the stupid question got do with issue in discuss? Awiolowo was integral part of the constitutional conferences the gave rise to 1960 Nigerian constitution and morphed into 1963 constitution when Nigeria became a republic. There is difference between government and party of the ruling government. Awolowo and Action Group were integral part of Nigerian government before and after Awo's imprisonment in 1962.

Absolute not. I am the Igbo that bloodied the noses of northern region, western region, parts of midwestern region, few minorities from eastern region, British, Egyptians, Nigeriens, Chadians, Cameroonians, Australians, USSR and Canadians in the war of attrition. Ndigbo are not shaking dry leaves but biding their time.

You said the 1963 constitution sold you into the north. I asked you how Awo was part of it.

"Explain how Awo did it and tell us what zik did when he agreed to be a figure head to balewa. "

If you are not willing to show spate of intellect, I suggest you buzz off my posts. You foolishly wrote the above crap in bold letters and I replied to your idiotic post to go and get familiar with 1963 Nigerians Constitution which stipulated the merits of president of the federal republic of Nigeria. I am not willing to give you any hint because you need to haul your lazy ass and your filthy hands onto the constitution and get lost from the computer keyboard.

Yes self defeating.

Zik never fought any war get your facts right

Zik was a pan-african hero on Nkrumah's wavelength not a local tribal champ.

Which Awo legacy is more visible today than handing the north permanent access to the sea (his region) so he could be president one day? That is self defeating
My dear all Nigeria accesses the sea via Yoruba land including your own elites
Lagos was former federal capital
He’s legacy stands tall till today
Oldest news paper in Nigeria
Nta was by western tv first of its kind
Foundation for education Yorubas are still the best educated in Nigeria
He never led his people to war
Last I checked zik was promised prime minister but he lost it as well
Infact threatened hell and nothing happened
Coupled with the calamities that befell your people

Awo made a deal with the north and promised them a "corridor to the sea". You think the north is like you guys that plan two or three years ahead? Fifty years on the Lagos ports are controlled mainly by dangote. The customs is headed by northerners, Nigerian Ports Authority in their grip, Dangote is building the road to the port and is going to toll it. Lagos ports brought in N1.1 Trillion last year but the road is still going to be tolled. I guess ignorance is bliss

Are you claiming Lagos was made capital because of Awo? grin no kill me with laugh abeg

Awo laid foundation for education but today SW states based on yearly WAEC stats are not among the top?

Zik did not lead anybody to war pls. Check your facts

This is why your delusional
Lagos ports predates Nigeria as an entity but your the same people who said buhari is jubril from Sudan
What about the rivers port headed by aboki
Did rivers people sign agreements with onne ports too
Did delta do the same ?

When other states like akwa ibom lagos are building new ports you show me the imaginary agreement they signed with aboki
Same way y’all claimed Awo signed imaginary deal with ojuku


Looooooool you have read too much propaganda

You avoided by decimation of the rest of your ramshackle points. Wise move...

Read and understand the world around you -

“Eventually when the war was to start with Biafra, [Awolowo] went to Ibadan and gathered all Yorubas that they should know the war about to commence was between the North and the East, and the Yoruba in the West were not part of it,” he said.

“We received this with shock and the whole Northerners met in Kaduna and we issued them a warning that we heard they (Yoruba) were not part of it and we agreed but we have one demand,” he said.

That condition, according to him was the establishment of a One Mile Corridor. “From Offa which is in our region, from the rail line to the sea (wharf) we declare One Mile Military Corridor, meaning all of them who built houses within One Mile, we will crush down their houses. And nobody will stop our vehicles and vessels from accessing the sea, this we told our Yorubas in Ilorin to tell them. And from that time we never hear them. This is Military Corridor, we of the past hope our children will carry it,” warning that nobody could stop the people of the North, whom he said number 120 million, from accessing the sea.

The so called article you posted here doesn’t state where yorubas agreed port will be headed by the north so it’s hot air. It shows neutrality and they still wanting access to sea during the war which the Yorubas eventually supported due to Ojukwu ambition to take Lagos
And your yet to show me the agreement delta and rivers port signed with aboki to be the head of their own ports

Did you even read the article you shared
They agreed it was a war btw Igbo & Fulani looool but wanted access to the sea tongue shocked

grin grin so the north need to announce to you and tell you how you will be colonised? Did they announce to you that one day there would be an emirate in Lagos? You have what is referred to by psychologists as Cognitive Dissonance.

You keep on spinning childish lies. Awo sold access to the sea even before the war started so how does the fear of Ojukwu come into this?

Loooooool
This is a statement from a nobody which can’t be verified
So prior to civil war which ports was number 1 in Nigeria
Onitsha looooool is that what Chinua Achebe told you people ?

Awolowo didn’t sell shit
Lagos was FG capital and the ports are part of federal functions so stop with the awolowo

Lagos Ports has always been number 1
Also show me when rivers and delta signed their own agreement or decided to sell their own corridor to the north

Only god knows the number of lies you have been fed with as a people

Calm down nao. The Biafran war is not a war, it was Genocide.

Sir Ojukwu just used his kinsmen death to massage his ego. You shouldn’t be proud of the massacre of nearly 3million of your tribesmen and that should not be a bragging right!

"Prof" has consistently been spewing gibberish ever since Nov. 1967, when he was inopportuned to have come across the black scorpion which turned out to be his one and only engagement in the biafran war as a boy soldier. Adekunle promptly and specifically dislodged a bullet in his (Prof dende.mo.ro.n's) left temporal lobe as his "calling card".

Ever since, "prof" has been bleating about like a go.at grin

Your Adekunle was used and dumped by the north.

Aaaah!! grin
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?
