Somebody will just sit down one place and create lies to deceive people ...

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.

Post independence Nigeria immediately threw up far more challenges than everyone expected.

Chief Enahoro once said that founding fathers including himself were too busy fighting for independence that they did not work out how to rule after independence. They thought as Africans they would work together amicably.

But events in Zaire Congo so early on soon proved that Africans could not work together.

The desire to rule at the centre probably became too strong to leaders including Awo.

Remember that Awo's desire to return as Premier split Western Region into Awo and SLA camps.
Something the North cunningly exploited.

Awo could have done what Ahmadu Bello did. He stayed as Northern Premier and sent his boy Balewa to the centre as Prime Minister.

SLA at the centre ring might have given Balewa a very difficult run for his money.

Delusion of grandeur

I understand that you are Igbo and you will want to see from the perspective of sentiments.

But ask yourself this: is there any lie in what Falae said?

APCNig:
Looters, the hammer that is nailing Nigerians together. Useless old fool. Has he returned the
100 million that the old fool collected from Goatluck Jonathan to help rig 2015 election?

You have deviated from the topic. Focus on the topic, oga

Imagine what nairaland would have been if this statement had come from an Igbo man that it is the Yorubas that are the problem we have in the is country.



Your guess is as good as mine.

Delusion of the highest order!! He can keep decieving his conehead brothers.

Niger Delta oil is what his holding and keeping Nigeria as a one country.

Falae who is gunning for Yoruba President of Nigeria knows that OBJ as president was not able to change the skewed political structure and governance system established by northern military dictators.

Give Falae a Northern stooge from Yoruba as next week, south of Nigeria still remains onlookers toward northern politicians moves.

Nigeria’s skewed political structure and unitary governance system are reasons for the struggle over which tribe produces president at every turn.

No there is no lie. We all know nigeria project is not working. We all know one working nigeria is a mission impossible. So now we all know the people who have sworn to remain in a project that won't work.

9jaDoomCountry:
No there is no lie.

So, why does people of your tribe refuse to acknowledge that, but prefer to call yorubas bad names despite the kindness of the Yoruba tribe to your father's after the civil war?

Well written.
Absolutely true.

I just feel like until we split, we all may never fully realise our true potential.

Is this an achievement for the Yorubas? Is this gluing still necessary? Why glue components that have no use for each other together by force?

. WORD!

Have you found oju iku's c of o or any document pointing to the fact that he owns the waec building? I'm sure your olori pelebe biafra.ud father told you he owns national theatre in lagos
Akpu go kill you.

“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

You see why you can't change from whom you're, a liar and a propagandist? Even a child born yesterday already knows that what was given to the Igbo people was only £20 and all the rest was share among Gowon and Awolowo who was the criminal that initiated the idea to Gowon, and here you're claiming they were given £20'000. Evil and wickedness is in your DNA.

Lets start from the kindness during the civil war.



The we analyze the nigeria of today the yorubas fought to keep.

kikake:
Take away your eyes so that the East can secede from your El-Dorado, Nigeria, you can’t.

Yoruba land would have prospered more than now in Oduduwa Republic, but Crude oil in the East would not let Yoruba see beyond the nose.

crude oil in the South South you mean.

Glue indeed, what of top bond? The only glue holding this country together is the Niger delta oil...
we are Nigerians because one man created it and gave us the identity... but I am an Igbo man before the coming of the white ✍️

Na the c of o be this?

E pain am enter him akpu head. I hear say na your papa get 3rd mainland bridge Tinubu seized it from your father after biafra.ud war

The glue that is holding together to what end? To become the poverty capital of the world after almost 6 decades of existence? A nation ravaged by war, disease, and death in some parts? A nation where one region has succeeded in dominating and plundering the resources? I can go on and on.
If these these things are the reasons for the glue I Will suggest they unglue it asap as nothing seems to be working and the most disheartening thing is there is no light at the end of the abyss unless this glue is removed.

Even an old man in Yoruba land is a chameleon

For your information it was 20 pounds and not 20,000 pounds. Don't mind those fools

RTSC:
Igbos are ungrateful because according to this old man ,awolowo gave a dominant ethnic group a paltry 20,000 pound after ensuring the death of millions and lose of unfathomable financial resources.

Una no well.

APCNig:
This was a bad decision by the Yoruba leaders. Those people you pitied then are ungrateful forever

So you think seizing our properties would have stopped us from owning Lagos? The port harcourt where it happened, tell me who owns almost all the properties there today...... Ndigbos
SUMMARY..... who God has blessed no man can curse

Your problem is that some of you don't know history. Igbos were given 20 pounds and not 20,000 pounds

Rilwayne001:
So you're about to start comparing £20,000 in the 70s to £20,000 in 2020?

Are you normal at all?

Yorubas are not part of the Biafra plan and we will never consider a country with saboteurs

Sammy07:
Who is hyping Fulanis?
We and Fulanis never gree except maybe 2015 sha, because we've fought each other 3 times.

They can't win a United South, and BTW, the only way to leave this county is by secession or a United South sha.
Not by making mouth and threatening up and down like the Igbos are doing.

Yorubas are not part of the Biafra plan and we will never consider a country with saboteurs. If you want your own country, go for it

Do you know what a civil war is? Not that nonsense you do in Ile Ife. Igbos fought the whole of Nigeria (SW,North, Middle Belt). Who did you fight?

Sammy07:
We too dey fear and we fought them 3 times?
You guys that are brave fought them once and they killed 3m, just like that

Can he afford a land in Onitsha? Someone whose land was bought by an igbo man wants to buy land in Onitsha...

obynzo:
Did you buy land in Onitsha and they didn't sell to you because you are not igbo? Haba Oga easy with lies naaa don't be foolish spreading lies and hate

So that Falae and co-conspirator selfish generation may continue their lootings...is why Yoruba must remain in bankrupt Nigeria... Falae and IBB destroyed the cocoa industry and other commodities industries btw.1986 and 1990. What a shameless man! Omo ale Yoruba!

glue that hold this country kill u there.......

You are even ashamed of a Yoruba which u are. Why the Igbo username? Fool

ChukwuObe:
I just hope that you are not dreaming of enjoying the same gestuure Chief Awolowo and Johnson extended to your family after the war when you secede this time. I have been telling Igbos that care to listen that you guys should be preparing your land before seceding because you and your family will not be allowed to come back to any part of Yoruba land. No one will allow you to eat your cake and still have it. It will never happen. You are free to take all your properties back to your land. Yorubas of today are not as gentle as Awolowo's era. We will enforce our own law and rules to give all our land back to our people. Any Yoruba in your land will be asked to come back home. A word is enough for the wise

I'll give Yoruba credit for preserving Igbo's Properties during the war, and that's about that. However, when you're a glue holding a failed State like Nigeria together, you are equally part of the problem. All you have done are sit in the middle and play both sides. The middle man you're playing is working good for you , that is why you considered your self proud to be part of a failed State. Entire World knew that our abundant of Wealth is big enough to sustain us all and yet we're very poor . That speaks volume !

Continue selling your lands in d remaining 5 south west states,Igbos will deport Yorubas from Lagos in d year of our lord 2100
