You cannot prove any of this. Bring even one small shred of evidence to show that Aminu Kano worked for Zik. What a despicable liar

What if I can prove it? What will happen?

It’s not even a thing you need to make too much research to know. You can even check normal news and you will see the alliance of Azikwe and Aminu Kano.

Mind you I have the evidence with me, but I’m just telling you it’s already public knowledge for students of history.

If I can prove it what will happen?

Below is just an ordinary Wikipedia page of Aminu Kano and they captured succinctly his alliance with Azikwe.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminu_Kano

Mind you, I have the hardcore evidence that can even buttress the claim on Wikipedia with more facts.

Many of you don’t even know the type of man Azikwe was. You are just blinded by patriotism for not seeing what he really was.

Only Nnamdi Kanu understood him (Azikwe) which explained why he never gave Zik any respect, although Kanu too is a fugitive.

This is it? So an alliance between NEPU and NCNC equals to Aminu Kano working for Zik to "take over" the north. Your Igbo obsession is making you goof so bad

So we should rather believe the drunkard Ojukwu?

Like I said, I don’t have any more thing to claim to you guys. It will be an exercise in futility trying to debate this truth.

The below sources cannot be stupid like ojukwu.
New York Times - American paper
The Guardian -British
Reuters -British
Australian government archives- Australian
Britishpathe- British
Premium Times - Nigeria

Bye!

Ojukwu said it loud and clear in interviews and his books while he was alive but Gowon has not even written a pamphlet to tell his story. He never countered Ojukwu while he was alive because he knew....

Boy I don’t talk just for talking sake, I am not a propagandist and I don’t have anything to gain in lying against Zik.

I was just trying to narrate to a fellow Yoruba guy what Zik tried doing to the Northern region. He already did the same to the western region and the AG party changed the tune.

Most people don’t even know why NCNC was able to win seats in the western region. It was because they deploy people friendly policies and Awo party campaigned on the most people unfriendly policies which was increased taxes. Awo had a foresight of bringing free education, free healthcare, increased minimum wage from 1shilling 9pence to 5 shillings then. The Agbekoyas (farmers) financing the western region saw that as an effrontery coz how will they pay more tax and still finance the education that they don’t know the purpose of then.

Just like an aspirant for president campaigning now that he will tax Nigerians more to build a space station. Do you think people will vote for him? Yet, Awo still got the balls to campaign without sweet talking and he did just that when he entered.

Read Zik and Aminu Kano on your own. Coz giving you evidence from my end won’t solve anything coz you guys are dogmatic and always chose to believe your elders without questioning their thoughts.

Lol..

Nothing new has been said here. Unalloyed facts still remain that..

1. Gowon was not recognized in the East and therefore didn't have the instruments and influence to release of Awo who was detained in the East.

2. The source of your narrative was from Guardian a tabloid of the British who strongly supported the puppet Nigerian state with arms, ammunitions, military training in the war of attrition against the East. So those views cannot be seen as unbiased. This is common knowlege.


The atrocities of the British government in the pre-indepedent and during the war in Nigeria have been grossly downplayed. Not just with their penchant for diplomatic sleaziness and military support for atrocities but with their media with which they had a monopoly to hold people spellbound with their propaganda depending own which side of the divide their interests lie. They did it in Botswana, India, Nigeria.

Go read this book, it's an expose on British atrocities in Eastern Nigeria, written by a British journalist himself.

You're a big time victim of Ojukwu/Gowon publicity b.s
Facing facts here, ask yourself why Awolowo was purportedly released from "Ikoyi prison' in camera while he was actually held in Calabar?
Did Gowon have control of federal facilities in the east at the end of July 1966.
When Awolowo petitioned Ironsi in July 1966, it set off a frenzy between Ojukwu and Gowon about who would get credit for releasing him. Ojukwu released Awo at the end of July, but it took a few days for Awo to get to Ikenne, and then Lagos where Gowon staged the publicity stunt of the release on camera.
Awolowo was not the only federal prisoner released by Ojukwu.
Ever wondered why Awolowo never addressed the release issue openly when he was alive?

@the first bolded, if you’re not visually impaired, you will see from the guardian paper I attached where they said he was flown (helicopter) from calabar prison to Lagos. Go back to the evidence I provided to see that and come back here to apologize.

@the second bolded, do you mean after Ojukwu released him in late July, Awo started trekking from calabar and eventually reached Lagos in August 3rd to do a photo op with Gowon?

@the third bolded, have you read Awolowo book called “Awo on the Nigerian civil war”? The image is attached below.

You deserve to be tied to a tree and flogged to reformat your thinking. Even nnamdi Kanu will envy you coz your own case overshadows his comedy rhetorics.

Lol bro let me tell you the fact. That Biafran war is a genocide. It got to an extent that I had to stop reading about those war because the Biafran are always killed in their numbers by the federal troops.

The guardian newspaper always report the news daily from the start of the war to the end. So we have like almost more than 600 pages of newspapers that documented the war. Same with other western press.

Ojukwu knew he stood no chance since late 1967, but he started deploying propaganda and appealing to pity to the world powers. That was the period Azikwe had to voice out against Ojukwu by terming his people rebels coz Ojukwu would not budge even in the face of destructions of his people.

His ego was too much to swallow so he wanted to make the war a fight to the end. He was mocked in the press when he fled to Ivory Coast coz with all the propaganda he claimed, no one thought he will surrender in the most cowardly way.

Check the behaviors of most Igbos online, they also don’t accept reality in the face of evidence. They always shout without facts and they always carry out actions without thinking. That is their major weakness and that weakness manifested in Ojukwu during the war

The soldiers and the prison warders.

Are there soldiers of Yoruba and Hausa origin in the eastern region in July 29 1966 after the coup of Ironsi?

Do you know calabar prison is a federal one and the leader of the supreme military council can command them to do and undo?

Mind you not only Awolowo was released, multiple people were released including Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Anthony Enahoro among others.

Definitely not going to stoop down to trade childish bs with you, because like many people, I used to wonder why the fervent pitch to misinform reality until I started seeing another thread that showed Ms Tinubu, yes the mother of Tinubu himself was being hailed as one of the people who organized Awolowo release and welcome with the young Tinubu assisting!! How nice will it sound for the Jagaband himself to stand on a podium to narrate how he released Awo, even as a child

Then it all made sense. I can't argue facts with a person paid to argue with me, remember who said that?

Ojukwu mistake was not putting a big tattoo of Biafra on Awolowo face, so that people like you would have not need to argue blindly.

That's why despite being your fulltime 24/7 job, you have not been able to convince anyone with facts, except images made after the fact!

If you are unable to prove that Calabar was not under Ojukwu control, and that Ojukwu ran the prison where Awo was being held, and that there was no documented forcible federal activity to release Awo, then you are definitely fixated on your predetermined conclusion.

Have you even wondered why Gowon took the extraordinary photo op to show Ikoyi prison? Awo was not released from Ikoyi. It showed the reason why there were numerous publications falsely claiming that Gowon had released Awo.

Too bad, you are daft to even assume that average reasoning Nigerans will not know the sequence of events. Fake news did not start with Trump you know!

Well you should stop racing against time and stop confusing yourself.

@the first bolded, The video circulating shouting people carrying placards with Tinubu’s mom name was when Awolowo first appeared on the street of Lagos (after coming out of prison) on his way to the national conference convened by Gowon. She never said she had a hand in releasing him and all major groups in Yorubaland welcome Awolowo with several banners. Stop trying to use false narratives to back your opinion.

@the second bolded, I’ve been telling you and your kinsmen to provide me just one evidence that give credence to your fact. None of you provided any evidence and I’m but ashamed of the whole Igbo race. What is the usefulness of your education if none of you can provide just one evidence to support your argument. So shameful!

@the third bolded, calabar prison was a federal prison bro, do you even know Ironsi already made some promise to release Awolowo before his demise? Although the Yoruba bloc later learnt to know that he’s just playing politics with it. Gowon not only released Awolowo but other prominent AG party prisoners like Adekunle Ajasin, Anthony Enahoro, etc.

@the fourth bolded, stop confusing yourself, there is no mention of Ikoyi prison in any of the article, where are you seeing Ikoyi prison?? From the evidence above you can see that it was states that Awo was flown from calabar prison in a helicopter and Gowon received him at his office. So where do you see Ikoyi prison that you keep mentioning? Is everything okay?

@your last statement, yes fake news exists and the empire of fake news is Biafra republic. Ojukwu was a propagandist up to his death while Nnamdi Kanu has a doctorate in fake news coz we all still remeber his Buhari is Jubril news.

See the pics attached below. You can see that it was stated that Awolowo was flown from calabar prison to meet with Gowon at Doran barracks where they shook hand. That was exactly the video I uploaded in the former thread.

If you're going to earn your keep from the Tinubu establishment in pushing this false narrative, it behooves you to prove :
1. Calabar prison, and maybe Calabar city was under the Gowon federal government July end, and early August 1966.
2. That there was a federal Activity, namely, military, espionage, etc that might have freed Awo without resistance from the controlling Biafran regime.
3. That Gowon freed other federal prisoners held in the east like Nzeogwu and some of his co plotters.

You can't confuse people much longer with your infantile postulations devoid of basic reasoning: even if you are paid to lay the political foundation for Tinubu and his mom to claim important roles in the release and reception of Awolowo.

Either you work harder or they'll replace you with someone with bigger gray matter!

WHY DON'T YOU ALL USE YOUR BRAINS FOR GOD SAKE.
You cannot produce those things during or after the civil war without producing metals.

Innoson is a gem and he will get better.Have you asked yourself if he produces metals etc to manufacture his vehicles?

Proforce,Innoson etc are still vehicles assemblers with some percentage of production.

Proforce has gone a step ahead by acquiring a metal company in Ogun state.

Definitely not going to stoop down to trade childish bs with you, because like many people, I used to wonder why the fervent pitch to misinform reality until I started seeing another thread that showed Ms Tinubu, yes the mother of Tinubu himself was being hailed as one of the people who organized Awolowo release and welcome with the young Tinubu assisting!! How nice will it sound for the Jagaband himself to stand on a podium to narrate how he released Awo, even as a child

Then it all made sense. I can't argue facts with a person paid to argue with me, remember who said that?

Ojukwu mistake was not putting a big tattoo of Biafra on Awolowo face, so that people like you would have not need to argue blindly.

That's why despite being your fulltime 24/7 job, you have not been able to convince anyone with facts, except images made after the fact!

If you are unable to prove that Calabar was not under Ojukwu control, and that Ojukwu ran the prison where Awo was being held, and that there was no documented forcible federal activity to release Awo, then you are definitely fixated on your predetermined conclusion.

Have you even wondered why Gowon took the extraordinary photo op to show Ikoyi prison? Awo was not released from Ikoyi. It showed the reason why there were numerous publications falsely claiming that Gowon had released Awo.

Too bad, you are daft to even assume that average reasoning Nigerans will not know the sequence of events. Fake news did not start with Trump you know!

Yes, the victor gets to write the war history, but not the facts.

lol

Legend hero has been a very gentle teacher who has gone out of his way to bring verifiable evidences and facts.You have not been able to bring any evidence except relying on what Ojukwu said.

Pls,answer this question...
With how intelligent you thought Ojukwu was,do you think he would have released Awolowo without taking any picture or video shot with him?

Zombies that swallow everything thrown at them.
WHY DON'T YOU ALL USE YOUR BRAINS FOR GOD SAKE.
You cannot produce those things during or after the civil war without producing metals.

Innoson is a gem and he will get better.Have you asked yourself if he produces metals etc to manufacture his vehicles?

Proforce,Innoson etc are still vehicles assemblers with some percentage of production.

Proforce has gone a step ahead by acquiring a metal company in Ogun state.

As for technology, you are far below Yorubas.
I will give you authentic evidences if you need them.

Awka blacksmiths have been known for their bronze artifacts long before the war and their ability to make guns and metal wares of all kind, so this your metal theory reeks of what a severed brain would come up with to discredit the scientific and technological innovations of Biafrans. Hundreds of warcrafts built by Igbos are still standing tall in Aba Biafra museum, why not go there and cure your low IQ or even a visit to Aba, Nnewi, Mgbuka, Awka to see the ingenuity of Igbos.
When i mention Innoson don't tell me Proforce that also has Colombians as owners.

LegendHero:
I previously created a thread online that showed the video that give credence to the fact that Gowon released Chief Awolowo. Ever since I posted that video, some Igbo folks on here have denied my proof and instead chose to believe in their own fabricated hearsay that Ojukwu released Chief Awolowo.https://www.nairaland.com/5541011/youtube-video-showed-gowon-released

Since I am stubborn coupled with the fact that I see this as an act of patriotism to the Yoruba nation to change the false narratives against
Pa Awolowo that has existed in the Nigerian space for decades, I subscribed to the Guardian Newspaper archives (A british newspaper that was founded in 1821) to get the actual state of event during those formative period of this country Nigeria.

I laid my hands on the Guardian Newspaper published on August 2nd , August 3rd , August 4th , and August 6th and the papers captured succinctly that Gowon released Awolowo and attached are the images of the publications. The area of interest is highlighted in Yellow.

Excerpts from the paper:
Aug 2nd 1966 – Possibly a consensus to southern opinion was Colonel Gowon’s promise to look into the early release of political prisoners. The most important of these is Chief Awolowo, the popular Yoruba leader who was imprisoned for 10 years in 1962 for treasonable Felony. He was a campaigner against Northern domination in the old regime and his release would not be popular in the North.

August 3rd 1966 – On his part, Colonel Gowon’s decision to release so controversial a southern politician Chief Awolowo seems to show a desperate need to placate Southern opinion. At independence, when the Northern people’s congress shared power with the largely Ibo National Council of Nigerian Citizens, the odd men out were the Yorubas of the west. Their discontent led to the 1962 crisis in which the Yoruba leader, Chief Awolowo was imprisoned for Treason.

August 3rd 1966 – The new Nigerian regime formed Yesterday by Lieutenant Colonel Gowon, the Army chief of Staff, after an army mutiny, today announced the release of leading civilian political prisoners, including chief Awolowo and Chief Enahoro. The other four political prisoners whose release was announced today were named Lateef Jakande, Samuel Onitiri, Sunday Ebiotoma, and Micheal Omishade.

August 4th 1966 - Chief Awolowo and Anthony Enahoro today promised to help Lieutenant Colonel Gowon, leader of the new Nigeria military regime in Nigeria, in any way that would bring peace to the country. Rumors continued to circulate in Lagos that the former Head of State Major-General Ironsi, had been killed by the rebels. General Ironsi was kidnapped last Friday and his whereabouts are unknown.

Conclusion: The reason why most Igbo folks are confused was because when Gowon took power, there was still some speculations in the air about General Ironsi whereabouts and he was just kidnapped with his murder not yet ascertained. This gave Gowon the chance to take command of the military and he commanded the release of Awolowo. Ojukwu at that time will still be unsettled coz they are all waiting to know the actual status of Gen Ironsi (Dead or Alive).

Calling the attention of the people that contributed on the former thread:

There is a thin line between stubbornness and stupidity. I wondered if you ever read the sketches you post as an evidence talk less comprehend them. The only prisoner stationed in defunct eastern region of Nigeria was Awolowo. The others such as Enahoro and Jakande were imprisoned in western region of Nigeria. In fact, Tafawa Balewa's led government of Nigeria and Yari.ba prosecutors wanted Awolowo to be imprisoned in Bauchi so that he would be finished off in prison. However his ass was saved by the timely intervention of jurist from eastern region which allowed Awolowo to be imprisoned in Calabar. In addition, the crap indicated that Awolowo, Enahoro and even Jakande inherited some plumb positions in Gowon's regime, one wonders why Michael Okpara was not given any position. Was Michael Okpara also imprisoned with Awolowo and Enahoro? In one of your wasteful sketches, therein the fact that a military governor in eastern region did not recognize the central government led by Gowon. If Gowon's authority did not carry water in eastern region, how could he release a political prisoner in Calabar? Only a fool does not realize that the ploy employed by Gowon was meant to fool the entire people of western region and midwestern region of Nigeria.

When Awolowo petitioned Ironsi in July 1966, it set off a frenzy between Ojukwu and Gowon about who would get credit for releasing him.

You are a big time liar

Awo petitioned Ironsi in MARCH 1966 (letter dated 28)

Ironsi was killed on 29 July , Gowon announced as Head of State on August 1 and Awolowo released on August 3

So what "Frenzy" are you talking about

WHEN did this frenzy occur?

Why would Ojukwu and Gowon be competing in March when Ironsi was still in power

You people are interesting specimens

You just make up any story and suddenly that is REALITY

My opinion on this matter was clearly spelt out in the former thread. I said that Gowon might have made the request for his freedom after the SMC meeting and since Awolowo was in Calabar- Eastern region under Ojukwu, Ojukwu would have complied with it despite the unacceptable of Gowon as a legitimate leader because of what both sides stand to gain from it. This was my opinion. Ojukwu was important in his release. This is my inference. If Ojukwu had known that Awolowo will treat the Igbos the way he did, I can assure you that despite the order, Awolowo wouldn't have been released. In fact, he won't have returned alive.

Thank goodness it is only your opinion but facts. There were other scenarios that played out in the same fashion. Adaka Boro was incarcerated in western region or northern region for treason. Ademoyega and Banjo were holed up in eastern region, Gowon was able to release Adaka Boro from cell and absorbed him into the army with rank of Major yet the jackass never saw a military parade ground in his freaking life. Why Gown did not release Ademoyega, Banjo and other soldiers incarcerated in eastern region into Nigerian armed forces? Mind you, Gowon needed trained army officers to man the newly formed battalions for the war.

I have on many occasions prayed lazy asses on this forum to embark on rudimentary research so that they can quit all these fake news served as feel-happy dishes to knuckleheads. If somebody is dumb enough to post crap from dailies of 1964, dude you get the evidence on your own. By the way, do you think I have the zeal to enlighten you even if I am paid handsomely to do so?

Are you a learner? When did Kirikiri become a military facility? This is an exemplary of being ill-informed of due to the so-called free education adopted in western region.
