AWO DEVELOPED IN ALL NIGERIANS, POLITICS OF AWARENESS AND OF INSTRUCTIONS DIRECTIONS AND DISCERNMENT. AWO WAS A LIGHT OF GOD. GOODNESS'S OF THE SPIRITS AND LIFE OF CHRIST ON EARTH. SIR AHMADU BELLO SAW THE DUST ON HIS FEET WHILE CAMPAIGNING AT ILORIN AND PROMISED NEVER TO FORGIVE AWOLOWO. THE IBOS DOWNED HIS CAMPAIGN HELICOPTER. BUHARI/IDIAGBON HUNTED HIM TO IKENNE AND LAGOS. SHAGARI OFFERED HIM GCFR AND ODUDUWA IS GRATEFUL. 2 Likes |

Omo oko login omoale. This is the MOST reason I love Awolowo. he never joke with his tribe. How can zik want to dominate(represent) Yorubas while we have over qualified individuals in our land while he Igbo man is representing his own region. Is that not an HYPOCRISY? Had it been Awolowo accepted, is that not Foolishness of the highest order? Can any Igbo's shouting tribalist here accept such in your realm? Abeg, thunder no go fire us o 4 Likes |

Mr. Don't you think people are tire of hearing about Altine one Northerner since the 19 century as some leader in Enugu later elevated to mayor and now governor? Remind them in the North next time you get a quit notice. Instead of you to accommodate and tolerate other Nigerians within you as you are accommodated and tolerated in Yoruba land, you keep on repeating a man from 19th century like a broken record. Which country or people allow others to rule and dominate them? South Africa ko America ni. SciLab: |

dignity33: I can't heal you from your self inflicted ignorance. It is not in my power, you can choose to believe whatever you want. The answer to your question is simple, who told you not to see GMB as national leader instead of a Fulani man you regard him. Let me tell you one fact, it better to be guided by truth and objectivity. If Zik by his leadership posture in NCNC decided to be a true Nigerian, there would have been no need for political crisis. If you don't understand, take a look at the way politics is being played in Nigeria today. If Okpara was not chosen by Zik, what you mean to say is that Zik will be Premier in the West and Okpara in the East because they are most senior in NCNC? What a wisdom? The people in the west are expected to be watching Igbos taking over all key appointments and be relegated? You see, when we learn to be sensitive to the feelings of others, our political crisis will be minimal. Do you realise why the PH people decided not to support Biafra because of similar insensitivity to their existence? No doubt the Yoruba has their own imperfections but as an person, I think they are more tolerant that Fulani or Igbos. If we want Nigeria to work for all of us, then we must be ready to make it work. We must be insensitive to any tribe including the Igbos that suffered during the civil war. 3 Likes |

LivingSage:Awolowo was a real mvp. Baba knew all their tactics and gave it back to the hot hot, no time for forming nationalist. How I wish we still have leaders like Awolowo who will be quick to see things and take drastic steps. No time for forming friends or stupid alliance. Imagine people we have nothing in common with, who we don't even share land borders with wanting to rule us, can imagine such shit?? God bless OBAFEMI AWOLOWO. 2 Likes |

middlebelter:Go an re-read the rubbish you wrote up there... Zik was Macaulay deputy in NCNC and when Macaulay died the Yorubas asked Zik to head to Eastern Region to make way for a son of the soil to lead the Western Region.... The salient question would be whether this piece of crappy logic you are adducing had any precedence in part of the world that a deputy cannot succeed the substantive leader if the latter dies... Let us move on... Awolowo is the author of tribalism in Nigerian politics. Pure and simple. |
Re: Nigeria Problem Started With Awolowo’s Introduction Of Politics Of Tribalism I by maestroferddi: 10:52am On May 06, 2020 |
middlebelter:Stop talking like a stark illiterate. On what capacity would ZIk have appointed an Igboman to be the premier of Eastern Region? Was he the Governor-General? Does it occur to you that this event took place more than 8 years before the attainment of Nigerian independence? Do a little study on Prof Eyo Ita and free yourself from asinine ignorance....

middlebelter:From ur write-up, you just proved Unongo right. Awolowo drew other Yorubas to play the tribal card. Before then, it was nigeria but Awolowo instigated yorubas to start playing by tribe. You just proved Unongo right. |

shekauvsbuhari: When flies bites a dog nobody sees it but when the dog decides to bite flies it becomes the talk of the people. You are free to continue to deceive yourself but people who knows will not allow you to deceive them. If you do not agree with the fact that within NCNC there was a need to address discrimination, at least you know that we still have discrimination with us today. If you like blame Awolowo for it, it won't change the reality. 2 Likes |

A strong platform that influenced political decisions and appointment in those days are the Nationalist Movement and the traditional council. Within the movements especially NCNC, there was politics. Now each writer has his political bias and can choose to favour an actor to the detriment of others. Lagos is Yoruba land and NCNC started there.

maestroferddi: Again, you can respond to issues with displaying immaturity. I will appreciate superior arguments than insult. For the record, Zik was never stopped from succeeding Macaulay as NCNC. As you are aware many Yoruba remain with Zik till death and do you know why? Difference in opinion. The fact that Zik will be Premier in the East does not take away from him the leadership of NCNC.They are two different offices. Good luck and this will be my last response on this matter. 1 Like |

[quote author=middlebelter post=89251820] You have been inundating the whole place with lies and cheap revisionism... Now that you have been called out, you want to scamper off with your tail between your legs. You need to tell us why the Yorubas would insist that Zik should not be a premier in the West Region. Let us know the rationale behind that conclusion if it is not mindless tribalism. |

[quote author=middlebelter post=89251569][/quote]You are trying to deflect from the matter under consideration. Is it not embarrassing for you to state that NCNC was a Yoruba party? Herbert Macaulay (part Nigerian, part Sierra Leonean) was older than Zik by almost 40 years yet at the inception of NCNC both he and Zik were pioneer Chairman and Secretary respectively. Macaulay died an old man. He had all the time in the world to anoint a Yoruba successor if that was the ideology on which the national liberation party called NCNC was underpinned. But he did not because he and the rest of Nigeria nay Africa saw in Zik a more than qualified successor. Zik earned his reckoning having at the fore front of the African liberation struggle... It was Nigeria's finest hour because if Awolowo had reined in his primordial predilections, the synergy between the East and West would have launched Nigeria to true greatness. Awolowo bungled what would have been epochal for the black race... |
Re: Nigeria Problem Started With Awolowo’s Introduction Of Politics Of Tribalism I by middlebelter(m): 3:57pm On May 06, 2020 |
maestroferddi: When Macau lay died at the age of 81, nobody had any complaints of bei g dominated. It was objective leadership based on vision, but after his death, the same could not be said of Zik's leadership and that was the genesis of tribalism. Do you understand? It was his failure to address this conflict of interest that metamorphosis into the Western Nigeria election. Zik iwas a great man by all standards I wish to reiterate, but he certainly had his failure as a man just like also had hsi Awolowo. We must however put issues straight and lay blame where it should be. His leadership of NCNC was never contested but his style was. If we fail to learn from this issue, I repeat, the Fulanis will continue to dominate all of us until God puts an end to it. The Fulanis understands this history and conflicts more than any tribes in Nigeria and has been using it to their own advantage. The new style now is Yoruba and Igbo struggling to be leading partner of Fulanis. If as the successor of Macaulay, he had listened to the wishes of some of his members for fear representation, his leadership of Nigeria would have been established till date. I didn't say NCNC is a Yoruba party, don't twist my words to satisfy your bad intentions. Check the history of Herbert Macaulay very well, he was born to Nigerian parents in Sierra Leone and purely a Yorubaman. Now those are not the issue, wrong allegation is injurious. 1 Like |

middlebelter:Are you stating what transpired or just infantile tales to assuage your whims? Which crises preceded Macaulay's death? Have your forgotten that Zik had absolute control of the leadership of the party/region? What does Adeniran Ogunsanya, Adesoji Aderemi, T.O.S Benson and J.O Fadahunsi had in common? Awolowo was beaten black and blue but had to resort to whipping tribal sentiments to compel loyal Yorubas in NCNC to jump ship overnight. The men feared for their lives....They could have had an Operation Wetie kind of treatment... PostScript:If your idea of fighting Hausa-Fulani hegemony entails habitually making the Igbos look bad and turning history on its head, then they would rule for a millienium.. |
