@ emboldened

No one has managed to do it for decades. I don't think anyone can match Awolowo's legacy in Yoruba land.
But fayose is greater than tinubu and awolowo put together.

A Nairalander sarcastically called obj an old man forgetting that old age is a precious blessing.I am not and have never been a fan of obj.But I admire him and I pray God bless and extends his grace of long life and good health in him(obj) to our teaming parents and grant the youths long life as well.

But Awo's undoing came from one of his followers .

Was Akintola not in the same camp with Awo before he was enticed by the NPC to weaken Awo's political grip in the western region and federal Parliament ?

Have you also forgotten how Yoruba elders goaded Abiola to continue the struggle and remain in prison but were going to Aso Rock to collect scraps from Abacha? Even those in NADECO were feeding fat from Abiola and his friends abroad and only paying lip service to the real agenda. For this reason, as long as Abiola was in detention , they were in business for themselves.

Obasanjo knows these people very well.

They are like praise singers in an owambe who will shower praises on you and as you begin to spray them they will be insulting you within. Too much money and you be maga, too small and you are a miser..

That is Yoruba politicians and elders for you.
Wise words.

Because I do not agree with your view, I am not a Yoruba person.

Thank you very much, good day!
codemaniacs:
you are definitely not a yoruba person...

Awolowo could have never remained neutral, zik was contesting for premier of the western region and if zik was successful it means zik would have replaced all Yorubas in important positions in western region controlled institutions with igbos...

you say "Look sir, Igbo leaders were anti-yoruba, Yoruba leaders were anti-igbo and Hausa-Fulani leaders were anti-everyone else" but it was only the igbos who were challenging indigenes in other regions by contesting for government positions in other regions..

Awolowo never had a change of heart and never made any agreement with the igbos ( only igbos believe such fake news/history ).. awolowo was in prison.

it was the igbos that created the mid-west region in order to weaken the Yoruba region which the mid-west was part of...

stop claiming to be yoruba because no yoruba person will still say "On the contrary, I believe Awolowo could have chosen to stay neutral. " after been told that millions of Yorubas will have been killed and their jobs taken away from them..

Because a yoruba person will protect and support the interests of yoruba people.

Your views did not show any signs of support and protection of yoruba people.

And I guess on the planet where you come from, only one view is acceptable, yours. You really are no different from a Trump supporter and it is clear you did not read my post, you only skimmed through it.

There is no point having a discussion with someone such as yourself. You know what you know and believe everyone else's view is irrelevant.

Shut up your mouth clown. Tribalist just like me. We are the problem of this country. Hardcore tribalist that never want to tear their tribal gowns. Reading that guys points I saw nothing wrong in what he said. Not you paid goon with selfish interest.

You are a shameless liar!

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Abiola won because IBB backed him and this gave most of the south , MB and even parts of the north to vote for him.

It was this endoresment from IBB and a section of the SMC that made people troop out and vote for Abiola.

The Igbo did not vote for Abiola for reasons best known to them and I know they played a huge part in the annulment and were heavily invested in the Abacha govt and Also rock court that they can not be counted in any way or form part of the call to return to democratic rule and I also know they went as far as rallying support for Abacha's transition to civil rule. That's their kind of dirty selfish politics.

In desperation for the presidency some aides are willing to do and say the unthinkable.
Very soon, we will read the headlines Buhari's father from Ijebu and his mother from Daura.

only the view of doing things for the benefits of the indigenes is acceptable... and you're right I actually support Trump because he was doing things for the benefit of U.S.A citizens only and not trying to wage war with other countries..

tribalism is been patriotic to ethnic identity and ethnic region.. without tribalism the entire SW states can be governed by non-yorubas and non-yorubas will fill up the civil service and sideline the yoruba indigenes and claim that the yoruba indigenes are unemployable and illiterates...

Ebora Owu.

Although I don’t seems to align with your political school of thought but anyone saying you’re not Yoruba deserves to be taken to Aro and locked up forever.

With regards to the philosophy you mentioned, it’s an insult to even compare you to Awolowo because what Awo did for the Yorubas several decades ago, you haven’t done one-tenth of it so it’s better you continue to claim that nationalistic ideology like you always do.
wetin awolowo do self for Yoruba tribe?

Was there any division in Benin or Ijaw ?

Or you don't actually know how the civil war happened.

What happened was mission led by Adekunle from Lagos to take back ijaw through the ocean with the help of some local ijaw rebels who were not thrilled about being in Biafra, same thing happened in Benin.
By "Some local Ijaw rebels" you mean ADAKA BORO and his cohorts, who thought fighting against Biafra was fighting for the Niger Delta region and course.

It's surprising Nigeria saw them as rebels rather than allies..

The number of schools he built per year is staggering not to mention the free education that went with it.

The number of infrastructures he constructed with very little resources was quite Astonishing. He touched almost every village in the old western region with something.

And he ensured Yoruba land had the first Television station in Africa, the first Olympic size stadium etc.

Plus the little fact of being instrumental to completing Lagos ibadan express way which is the busiest of all routes in south west Nigeria today.

How about you be realistically correct?


Was Adaka Boro not murdered like a rebel by the Nigerian forces. Till this day has he been honored by Nigeria?
