Dedetwo:


The jackass went further to created confusion on the stratum of Obas in Yoruba land when he appointed Ooni of Ife as the Chairman of House of Chiefs in the western regional assembly. This was due to fracas he had with Alaafin of Oyo. The Alaafin of Oyo never agreed to the Awololo's tribal tendencies in western region. He even formed Omo Egba parapo to oppose the silly Omo Egba Oduduwa. Awo also created the fracas between the Itsekiri and Urhubo. He mastermind the change from Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri hoping to give his alleged kinsmen of Itsekiri the ownership of Warri. Awo never attended secondary school. He grew from the street and motor parks. However, I admired his tenacity to succeed and love for education.

Mraphel:

To me ZIK was never Igbo...the type of Igbo that you're.

He was raised In the North and West. The west made him who he is.

2023 is around the corner..let the Igbo test their popular for presidential election.Can ur people

Dedetwo:


There is nothing like nonsense about it. He, Awolowo, equally threatened the Oba of Benin and Ovie of Urhobo.

Juliusmalema:
Will they agree that Awolowo is tribalist.

Captainrambo2:
nobody wanted Awolowo as partner. Nit even the alafin . They all preferred zik. He didnt even capitulate on that even in the face of dethronement. Awolowo was very divisive....

Captainrambo2:
this isnt about zik. Alafin saw zik as a political leader. Zik was the most popular political icon. Of course awolowo had nothing else but to play the tribal card. He brought tribalism period

Fyi. Herbert macaulay that handed over the party to zik was youruba, the members where youruba,,,, it was peaceful. Until obafemi Awolowo started spewing tribal diatribes

Bendeco2020:



Stop giving unnecessary excuse. A trablistic person will always be no matter where he was born.... Some tribalist yorubas here that hate Igbos were born in the east likewise trablist igbos that hate yorubas were born in west especially Lagos...


Who even told you that awolowo is smart? Zik is smarter than him by far... Awolowo is just
tribalistic. Stop giving excuse

Bendeco2020:



Smarter... Lol


No Yoruba man dead or alive can be smarter than typical Onitsha man.

Captainrambo2:
truth is when Awolowo became leader the west became know as the wild wild west. Akintola and Awolowo locked horns, awolowo started speaking condescendingly to akenzua and ovie what was the result,? Midwest left the west. Awolowo knew just one thing tribalism, that's why in other parts of the country he isnt seen as a national icon.

He will always remain a tribal regional leader. Never will he be referred to as a nationalist. Enahoro, Azikiwe, isong, ciroma, Hassan, belewa will always stand tall above the local champ

Captainrambo2:
awolowo the local champ, should not be pronounced in the same sentence with zik of Africa. It's a sin

Bendeco2020:



Yoruba person can't born a man like Obasanjo.... Yorubas are know to be cowards.

For a person to be a true son of Yoruba u have to be a coward..... So check it well obasanjo can't be a Yoruba son

Bendeco2020:



All Igbo men dead or alive are all courageous

You yorubas should stop lying, stop trying to deceive people. If Zik had not partnered with the North, over-ambitious Awolowo the opportunistic yoruba tribalist would have partnered with the North within a blink of an eye and left Zik with the short end of the stick.

Another opportunity came for Awolowo in the build-up to the civil war to partner with the Hausas and he grabbed it with both hands and legs. Very sleazy, cunning man Awolowo was.

Zik was wise to be very wary of him, especially after he (Awo) had written so many anti-Igbo derogatory piece whilst a journalist with Daily times in the 1940s and in his autobiography which was published many years before independence.

Awolowo was a character that every self-preversing and right-thinkng Easterner was supposed to be very wary of. Zik was right to eat with a very long spoon when dinning with Awo. There was no other way, Zik made the right decision given the political dynamics at play at the time. Go and read Awolowo autography published before independence. I have a copy in my office.

You yorubas should stop sounding pedestrian like a broken record, many of you don't have the facts, those of you that do, enjoy hiding the truth.

hargbolahan01:
all of you ignorant spreading false story

he was disposed because he tell Bode George to bark to death and he did when Bode disrespected him in Kings meeting...and Bode George was one of awolowo loyalists that even him (awolowo) appointed Bode George as chairman of the Kings council meeting

so go and learn history before you started quoting lies for your fellow ignorant

and besides what do guys gain in tribal war? pls tell me

SamNaijaboy:
Nonsense. NCNC had loyalty from Yorubas because it was always a Yoruba party before it spread to the East. It was formed and led by a Yoruba, Herbert Macaulay, who upon his death handed it over to Azikiwe. The Yorubas following Zik did that as a part of their loyalty to NCNC.
Zik is the most tribalitic leader of them all: he should have partnered with AG to be the PM, rather he preferred to be a ceremonial President/Governor General to the North.
He also wanted to be Premier in the West after installing another Igbo as Premier in the East instead of ensuring he went to the East as Premier and working to install a Yoruba in the West using the same party that he inhreited from them.

Same way Igbos come to Lagos to prosper yet can't stop themselves from hating the indigenes that helped them prosper in their midst, always thinking they are smarter than the people who created the environment that makes them excel. Zik should have realized he was a nobody without Herbert Macaulay and the NCNC he gave him to lead without any nepotism and not attempt to rule those who graciously let him lead the party

tommy589:


It is better this way to counter than to hurl insults

Captainrambo2:
h.macauley a youruba man handed ncnc to zik an igbo man. Then there was no tribalism . Even the alafin saw zik as a friend and political leader. Till the trubalistic and divisive awolowo came along

Uchek:
Can you substantiate, with emprocal evidence, your assertion that NCNC was always a Yoruba party before ot spread to the East?

Bodexman:


No matter the epistle written against him, the Yorubans will forever reference him and hold him in high esteem.

His name & legacies is written in sands of time.

A man who beats his contemporaries hands down in achievements & other.

Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo is his name

Gabkosh:
Shebi he was the one that did not allow anambra man become priest in mbise

oluwadabira111:
Tribalist coward he brought free education to western part. he erect the biggest storey building at that time to western Nigeria! he brought the first Television station to Nigeria! bro give Zik achievement again!

Uchek:
What has all these got to do with Zik? Of what relevance is this tired repetition of Awolowo Firsts that benefited Westernn Region. These were the priorities of Awolowo as the WR premier.

joeyfire:


Awo swam in tribalism, ate tribalism, wore tribalism, he was tribalism personified. He tried to intimidate the Oba of Benin who quickly put him in his place

Captainrambo2:
Zik schooled in america in the 1920s. Then the racism was mad. When he came back to africa , the racism he experienced while studying made himstarte a movement that saw to the expulsion of white men in Ghana and nigeria mainly, where these countries got independence . Zik wasnt interested in my brother this my brother that because he was very well read and exposed person. He was more of a pan african , which is why people from the south east despise him.,( yes they do,.. thier hero is ojuku) now this man Awolowo was all about my people ... Zia was all about national while Awolowo just couldn't get past regional shenanigans

femi4:
And where is intimidation in that attachment? He told him same thing he told SW obas

BrownLondon:

And that's why you lots are seen as second class citizens.

The smart tribe that begs for everything, beg for presidency, beg SS minorities for unity... Is that what we call smartness?

Obasanjo is smarter than 45million Igbos combined.

Liliantalks:
you people r quick to say nonsenze about the Igbos like u all r actually smart ,, Igbos r the smartest africians , in all areas there is an Igbo man standing out , if not that Nigeria is a nepotic country, u think being president , or any position at all would be a problem for an Igbo man ? The Igbos r up to the task , but marginalization, tribalistism, wickedness has stood in their way . The fact a Yoruba man or Hausa man has been president is no validation that u all are smarter than the Igbos , cause realistically u guys are not .
