True talk and I know many ibos may not like or believe this...Zink is the cause of both the ibos and Nigerian problem today.....
he sold his birth right of being the first prime minister to the hausa/fulani
he appeased and beg the north who wanted to succeed from Nigeria when they were shouting "Araba"
he was the first to embezzled funds meant for the African development union or so
he never stood by his kins men during the 1966 pogom in the north and the civil war

abeg leave that man jare

IamPatriotic:
Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government.

Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule.

It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC.

Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo.

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians.

Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem.

There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent.

The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House.

Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani.

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since.

The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

Zik's hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria.

The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo.

However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.

Not many Igbo especially the young ones know this narrative. I don’t think the Yorubas, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spots?

~ Babalola Akinnuoye writes from Ibadan, Western Nigeria.

The loudmouths are tribally irredeemable. The dumbass who wrote above crap could not even deduce that 134 is greater than 81 and 73. NPC came first, the second place went NCNC while third position was occupied by AG.

Tobrasky:
You guys attribute way too much power to Zik, are you telling me Zik single-handedly decided the political fate of the whole Nigeria without some support from other regional leaders? there's no way the likes of Awolowo, Balewa, Ahmadu Bello etc were just sitting idly while Zik dominated them in the political scenes. For me personally, especially looking from the hindsight of history, I would categorically state that I never rated Zik at all... I think he was either too nationalistic or too pro-North to put Igbo interest first (that's why as much as we detest Awolowo, he was in fairness a better leader... he very pro-yoruba) he put the interest of his people first, and I respect him for that... Awo today is like a demigod among his people unlike Zik. It's also noteworthy that Ziks NCNC politicking was solely for his personal ambitions not the Igbos. And that's why till date, an Igbo man would rather be on the camp of Ojukwu instead of Zik- despite the fact that the former led a rebellion that led to the death of nearly millions of Biafrans in a war we were not militarily prepared for...that's how low majority of Igbos rate Zik.

Well said.

Zik was an idealist who was too nationalistic with his believe and hope for a unified and one Nigeria. Awo and Ahmadu bello on the other hand were realist who knew the idea of a unified Nigeria was a faux.

Zik was extremely frustrated even as the governor-general especially during the 1964 election where he almost resigned rather than swearing in Balewa as the Prime Minister. I still have a leaked copy of his resignation address.
Without having announced his resignation, balewa had already prepared his own counter address on the resignation.

But, 81 plus 73 will yield 154 which is greater than 134. Zik and Awo would have been able to easily form the Government based on their numbers.

If you read carefuly you will see that the order parties in the election is based on popular votes. NCNC had the most popular votes followed by AG and then NPC. Despite this none could form a government

We have Read from Lagos/Ibadan express way propaganda media,now let us read from an unbiased account from the other side.


The second account reflects the inability of Dr. Azikiwe and Chief Awolowo to reach a common ground at the critical moment so that one of them would become Prime Minister instead of Alhaji Balewa. Azikiwe had been blamed particularly by loyalists of Awolowo for preferring to align with NPC rather than with the AG. In my opinion, that is partially correct, which is probably an unfortunate outcome of the disappointment felt by NCNC leaders as a result of the carpet crossing episode of 1952. However, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, a diehard supporter of Dr. Azikiwe, presented a different perspective on the issue about eight years ago.
According to Chief Amaechi, after the 1959 election when it became obvious that a coalition government must be formed to take over from the departing British colonialists, a delegation from the AG went to discuss the matter with NCNC leaders in Azikiwe’s Onitsha residence. It proposed that both parties should form an alliance such that Azikiwe would become Prime Minister while Awolowo would serve as the finance minister. While the discussion was on, Azikiwe went upstairs to answer a telephone call. Upon his return, Azikiwe told the AG delegation that the NCNC would consider AG’s proposal and send a delegation back to Chief Awolowo.

When the AG delegation left, Dr. Azikiwe informed the NCNC leaders present that the telephone call he went to answer was from the Sardauna of Sokoto and that the Sardauna had informed him of a delegation from Chief Awolowo which visited him offering NPC precisely what the other delegation that just left them offered their own party, the NCNC. Probably concluding that AG is a double-headed snake, Dr. Azikiwe decided to negotiate with the Sardauna.

During the negotiation, Ahmadu Bello insisted that the north should produce the Prime Minister, otherwise they were not ready for independence. In the agreement to end British colonial rule signed at Lancaster House, it was agreed that if any region said it was not ready for independence, the process will be postponed until all regions were willing to go ahead. According to Chief Amaechi, northern leaders took advantage of that agreement. Dr. Azikiwe and top leaders of the NCNC reasoned that having fought and sacrificed so much for political freedom, it was preferable to allow the north produce the first Prime Minister so that independence would be attained as soon as possible.

Zik and NCNC leadership was dealing with a double headed snake and a chameleon.

how did saurdana of sokoto who is in Kano know what they discuss in azikwe onitsha residence to be telling him they provide him the same deal?

According to report, AG sent delegates both to NPC and NCNC at the same time offering them same deal,so they accused them of double dealing.
Saduana called Zik to inform him that he was hosting a delegation of AG in Kaduna that was where Zik got idea of whats was going on.

This version of yours actually sounds like the propaganda that it is. The fact remains that Zik formed alliance with Balewa which he later regretted going by the turn of events. So why is it hard for you to admit that your progenitor made a mistake and put you in a precarious situation?

U really expected zik to form an alliance with awolowo that has displayed open hatred for him for no just reason for years ...the man that scaled alafin of Oyo because he preferred zik leadership style

Honestly u people must thing the rest Nigerians are fools that u can manipulate

These is the same reason Igbo have chosen to work with north even tho we hate it .....

North have only worked with yorubas only when igbos reject their offer ....you Yorubas are never anyone's first choice ...no body trust you guys


So if you were zik u would from alliance with awolowo ??

Continue to deceive yourself.
Between " Awolowo's AG and Ahmadu's NPC, who is more deserving of merger with NCNC? ".
So because Awo did not Allow Zik to become the premier of the west, the only way out is for Zik to merge his NCNC, which he inherited from a Yoruba man Herbert Macaulay, with NPC?.
No wonder BAT no send anybody, what is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.

South south should not forget what Yoruba did in 2015, but they should forget how Yoruba formed the save Nigerian group and protest every day until the Yar adua cabal made Jonathan acting president?

They should also forget how we gave Jonathan millions of votes in 2011 to help him defeat Buhari?

How did he pay us back? He abandon the south west and gave every important positions to Igbo and Hausa.

He betrayed us, that was why we plotted his downfall.

As for Azikiwe, I can only blame Albert Macaulay for handing over the NCNC to him on his dying bed. A Yoruba man gave him the party but he used it to work against the Yoruba because of a useless ceremonial position.



I AM DONE TALKING

The truth is that the British wouldn't have granted Nigeria independence if AG and NCNC had form a government. The British preferred a Nigeria Government ruled by a more Conservative North

Igbos have committed much atrocities in the past, no wonder, History was removed from the curriculum to heal wounds that these people created. Smh

One can't really blame him for taking dt action because d average Yoruba is d LEAST tribal ppl in Nigeria. He sees u 4 who u r b4 he considers ur tribe. He couldn't have known dt zik (and by extension, d igbos) are like dt.

And dt can be said of present day yorubas as well. Post 2011 events have been opening d eyes of d hitherto liberal yorubas to reality tho.

You claim to know Yoruba so well when in fact, you know nothing about how our politics works.

If the north try the nonsense of hanging on to power in 2023, all it would take to destroy any alliance between Igbo and north is to revive the ACN, get a good candidate from south south and back it up with another good VP from north east, give the party chairman to a middle beltan to gain there confidence and leave Igbo to continue licking Fulani asses like you've been doing since 1959!!!

Yoruba and intentional lies.
Zik was blackmailed by the British to form a coalition government with the npc because the British have loyal servants in the north.
The British saw the East as stubborn and the west as unreliable.
Zik was blackmailed because of the loan he took from ACB African continental bank which happened to be UBA today.
The British wanted jail for zik.
It was the same scenario when the northern officers wanted operation araba and the British high commission intervened and summoned the emirs and convinced them to go for operation unicorn.
It was the same scenario that played out when nkrumah ojukwu and gowon agreed on Confederacy in aburi,the same Brits intervened and gowon started creating states.
It was the same intervention from the British that approached awolowo after he agreed with ojukwu to seccede with the west.
UNTIL WE START TAKING A HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE NIGERIA MATTER ESPECIALLY THE ROLES PLAYED BY THE BRITISH AND AMERICANS,WE WILL KEEP POINTING AT OURSELVES.

yes o bro you have political sense.
Buhari courted us in 2003 with chuba okadigbo,we rejected him because we knew his story and history.
In 2007 he tried to entice us with our son Arthur umeezoke we rejected him again.
Desperate yorubas carried him forgetting national interests.
Obasanjo is the only Yoruba Worthy of national leadership but me and you know that yorubas Never voted him, tribalism runs in their blood, even in penticostal churches,yorubas GO will order for a yoruba pastor from ibadan to come and head a church in a Village in nteje anambra state.
I thank God that God blessed the fulanis with the wisdom to handle yorubas

So why do the Igbos keep crying betrayal, since it's so clear that they betrayed first?

Ever since I joined Nairaland, when I no even know say tribal difference dey exist for Nigeria, I go see say Yoruba man go just dey im own dey make innocent comment for NL, an Igbo man go just come from nowhere begin insult am dey call am slave to the Northerners, Afonja, betrayer, whereas na them first find trouble according to wetin I just read so.

Please don't come for my head o, you can see what the OP wrote? I am just shocked that after all the trouble trouble wey I see say una dey find Yoruba man trouble, say na una first start fight.

The funny thing be say I no dey see una near Hausa man for this NL, Only Yoruba.

But that was then.
The Yoruba man on NL has woken up from all the henpecking by the Igbos and they are now giving tit for tat.

Note:
I am Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba

@ the emboldened is the insult you Igbos have been subjecting the Yorubas to impress your Fulani master that you have been slaving to impress before independence ?!

nku5:
The useless copy and paste is full of lies and half truths but these are a sample



In one sentence he is saying Zik was powerless and checkmated by Balewa and in the next he is saying Zik made Balewa arrest Awo

How could Zik have made Balewa create the Midwest region when it was created by a referendum that chose to separate from the Yorubas in a huge landslide. Was Zik a god?

Like I said before if all this anti igbo propaganda we are seeing everywhere is to impress the north ahead of 2023 then yorubas have a lot to learn about the north

Foolish people like you don't get to decide how political event panes out.
