That they handed Igbos their properties back is a big lie.

Ojukwu's family never got their properties back. The WAEC building in front of Yabatech belongs to the Ojukwu family and Awo as Finance minister and 'defacto VP' ensured Ojukwu never got it back.

Big fat lie

Why are most of you from the East like lying for free?

Can you prove that in bold or another foolish tale handed down to you by your war-loser uncles ?

oga it's the greed of a Yoruba man that it making it seem as if they care for Nigeria's unity.

Take away the little they get from Nigeria and watch them scream like broken/empty container for secession.
It has happened several times.

You this guy just hate Yoruba for no reason. You’re from Edo, a state close to home and yet you harbor so much hate towards the Yorubas.

Hear this, Yoruba people don’t care about the inconsequential Edo or anything you represent. Your state is a backward state whose little educational advantage it could muster over its peers in the SS was a result of Awo’s benevolence.

Even if you hate Yoruba for a million years, the Edo will still not be able to measure up to the Yorubas in all ramifications.

Fear of war is what is holding nigeria together. FACT!

The yorubas believe the East will pay them back in their own coin if they try seccesion. They know the East have not forgotten their atrocities and are very wary of getting paid back the evil they commited in the East.

I dare them to try to seceed when they lose out in 2023. Let them try it and see how it pans out.
. grin


If you are half as intelligent as a 5 years old kid, you will know that Yorubas almost plunged Nigeria into pieces in 1993 without lifting a single gun.

Everything is not by brawn like Igbos think, but with strategic calculations, Nigeria would not have been in the present mess if your Igbos war plotting soldiers in 1966 knew that nor would have Azikwe plot against Awo on the issue of secession clause in the independent constitution.

Yorubas unlike ibos will not fight because they lose an election, they will simply go back to the drawing board and strategize for the next election

Don't mind the bitter, hateful, sore losers. They have been programmed to blame yorubas for all their problems. They didnt want biafra.ud when Jonathan was in power and they got appointment, their demand for biafra.ud seized when adaobi was picked as running mate to a fulani man. But when they lost, they resumed the biafra.ud chanting. Oya collect your biafra.ud and start going back to your potopoto region, you refuse and still blame yorubas.

It is on record that during the 2015 elections, Nnamdi Kanu campaigned for PDP.

Ask an igbo man to choose between living in the same country with Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba, he will gladly pick the Yoruba

Ask an Hausa/Fulani to choose between living in the same country with Ibos and Yoruba, he will gladly pick the Yoruba

However Yoruba can comfortably live with either.

Were you in Lagos? I doubt you were else you'd have known how rocky this past christmas was; to exemplify a closer case. Shows, Cinemas, Fests happened and they all were massive, colourful and impressive. It was never a dull moment, ask for the right info from the right source; not sentiments from your clan at home. Population of Lagos is massive not because a tribe is in it but because all the tribes have massive presence in it. Check ya stats!
Besides, is it only Ibos that travel during Christmas? Don't other tribes also travel to their states? As close as Ogun state is to Lagos State, the indigenes still travel during christmas to their hometowns, so what's your point? You guys just bloat yourself with this useless sense of entitlement and chestbeat about that things happen because of your presence and technically cease immediately you leave which is wrong. I won't be wrong if I think you're among many who believe thsi same Lagos rests on the Igbos' import, export and purchasing capability. YET, it's been proved overtime that the big businesses that sustain the State are either yoruba-, Hausa-, Fulanis-, or foreign-owned. So why fooling about?

Brotherly, I hail you.

Agree with everything you say about Falae. As for Awo, for all of what he did for our people, I continue to hold him to high esteem and he continues to be the benchmark for all leaders.

However, I believe his missteps are a part of what led us to where we are today.

Well, all our founding fathers had their missteps. But that is easier for us to say with hindsight.
But Awo knew Nigeria and its ethnic complexity more than most. He suspected that Nigeria will likely fail due to the feudal conservative North.

So he wanted to possibility of secession to be on our constitution. Zik argument vehemently against it and colonial masters sided with Zik before independence.

Awo did not succeed with Yoruba unity because did not have his foresight for Yoruba nation. Awo was honest about his pro Yoruba priorities while others pursued ethnic goals but lied about it. Except Ahmadu Bello who was clear with his Jihadist Dan Fodio pursuit through politics.

Biafra war also gave Awo a serious dilemma. After leaving prison, taking Yoruba people into a potential war would have been a risky move.

Were he a free man before the way with a positive assessment of his support in Western Region, it might have been a different story.

Yoruba travel. Una sey NO na ewedu una wan dey ... Look at a grown ass man like you typing stereotypes like a Buffon! Who told you East is unwelcoming? Who told You we don't sell our lands to outsiders?? Una too Mumu! I bet you've not cross that bridge before because if you have you'll know that in the East nobody gives a Bleep Just have enough strength to compete! We're not like y'all that. Cry to your leaders to evict Igbos and stop Igbo domination. The major challenge with. Lands in the East is that on the average and compared to other regions Land in the East is EXPENSIVE ,Land in a village in the East cost nothing less. Than 500k_1m . Then talk of Cities and Urban areas a plot in let's say Aba now is from 2.5million upwards! Instead of your people here to tell you the truth that they can't afford land here they'll tell you Igbos don't sell lands to YORUBA or other Outsiders which is false exactly the same rubbish your Elders tell you. With their useless propaganda that the East is filled with Villages we're only old people reside everybody else is in Lagos or Abuja which is A fatal lie! You claim Igbos Are hateful but let me tell you that in the East After the Igbo population and other South Southerners... It's the Northerners their population here is Huge and they're thriving and doing fine! From Onitsha ,To Owerri ,To Aba,To Portharcourt there is large Northern population here YES if you think it's a lie TRAVEL to the East. In the East it's all about your hardwork and how well you can compete Tribalism won't Stop you . Infact an Igbo man will choose to relate and work with a Hard-working. Aboki over his lazy brother. Go to Abakiliki in Ebonyi State You'll see Northerners there own houses fine duplexes ,I know an Estate in Ebonyi who majority of it's residents are RICH Northerners. The Igbos don't just wake up one morning and start killing anybody what you see online is the direct OPPOSITE the only time killings happen in the East is when a Northerner stabs or Kills an Igbo man in the East or gets his brothers in the Army to shoot an Igbo man this is. The only time Igbos riot in reprisal attack! TRAVEL OGA travel it's a big form of Education.



Please there is no area in Ebonyi that the Northerners have massive duplexes and investments. The only 'rich northerners' you find here are mostly limited at 'ogbee Hausa' and they live in shanty houses lol. And there is hausa quarters, which is just name to the area, but 90% of the buildings are owned by Ndi Igbo.

But then, the Hausas are thriving in ebonyi as it's in other states.

“This is the refugee camp of Nigeria. This is where everybody is welcome, accepted and looked after. That is the investment of peace we have been making from time immemorial"


Our brothers from the East can't fight this, though they're still very much UNGRATEFUL



“During the Civil War, when the Igbo went home, Governor Mobolaji Johnson looked after their property for them. Rents were in the banks and when they returned, their money was given to them to start life all over again.
“That is a fact. But the property they left in Port Harcourt were taken over by their neighbours and it took several years before some of them were returned to the owners.


Despite this, we're still being called names. To the extent that The late sage (Chief Obafemi Awolowo) kind gesture towards them concerning the 20000 pounds was seen as an ill treatment to them.


“We have demonstrated that we are the most accommodating, we are the cementing culture in Nigeria. So, there is no way we can secede. This is our home."
Nothing else to say

Point of correction and information: Most of the people you refer to are youngsters who reside in the east and have not experienced to hospitality and accommodating nature of south west. So dont call all Igbos ungrateful. What was given to Igbos after the civil war was 20 pounds and not 20,000 pounds as you wrongly stated in your submission. Igbos in south west are not offered freebies,they pay for things they use and enjoy here. Few Yorubas that live and reside in Igbo land also enjoy hospitality and good welcome from their hosts. The south west leaders did the right thing in respect of the properties after the civil war,we commend and appreciate them for that. And that is why we are still coming here,building and settling. Nigeria will benefit more if Yorubas and Igbos unite and work together instead of fight.

maybe you read another history or must have been eaten lies from a bunch of yoruba hating liars. Go and ask which people constitute the majority of zoogeria soldiers, they are fulani hausas and middlebeltan, yorubas were promoted to join the army when they saw igbos were invading southwest all because ojukwu was wrongfully advised not to go up norther where the enemies and their machinery, so in your unreasonable mind you dont know everywhere they have fought war there is bound to be starvation, hunger and famine at all side, you are saying it is because of what some people said is the reason for those millions of war casualties, all the wars they have fought in this world someone who is usually a yoruba man that is responsible for all the hunger deaths of war vicitims civilians.

Funny enough, about 2m of them died of hunger.

I feel that the pre-1960s Awo was more mission focused for all the Yoruba people. Personally, I believe if he was allowed to rule the western region alone for 20 or 30 or even 40 years, we as a region would be much better off than we are today.

The post-1960s Awo, before and around the time of the war, had lost his way.

Awo understood long ago that Nigeria, being composed of different tribes, ethnicities and creed, had no business being together which was why he was a proponent of strong regions with states built around ethnic identities.
That was the pre-60s Awo.

For whatever reason after the British left, I guess like the Iron throne in Game of Thrones, Awo became attracted to the prospects of One Nigeria which is why he proposed aligning with Zik. Atleast this much we know to be true.

However, here is what I strongly believe. I believe if each region was allowed the right to govern itself, my region the old western region would be better off than it is presently. By better off, I am referring to the life of the average citizen NOT the welfare of the average politician.

Atleast the politicians of old understood certain things, today's breed do not understand a god damned thing.
