DaddyCoool:
Exactly. Except that Azikiwe wasn't looking at oil money. He did it so the North won't have excuse to run away

DaddyCoool:
Nonsense. Awo was simply an opportunist like most Nigerians. He couldn't resist stupendous oil money that was starting to pour in. He became finance minister to l nobody and of course mysteriously became stupendous wealthy (we can guess how). But unlike Tinubu he couldn't use it to buy presidency!

DaddyCoool:
Below is Awo's verbatim statement on May 1 1967.
Not only that, he also could have invoked Aburi accord. Instead he became active participant in the war!

ycat:
Y’all just love being slaves in Nigeria.
It’s going to happen if the US wants it and president Tinubu see reasons for it as I’m praying according to what I’m hearing. Yorobidients or Yoratikulate like you won’t have a say in it, the worst you can do is take arms and fight on the side of the enemy against Yoruba as y’all previously do in all things. You were against Tinubu and called him all sort of names but he’s president today by God’s grace. He was put there for such a time as this, Yorubaland must be free and Edumare will see to it.

lionphil:
Go and find out why african countries are expelling the west before you start praying for another evil to befall you.

The US base will never be attacked and they will never come to your aid when fulani attacks. They are only after the resources your region has to offer. Read history before bringing a curse upon your people.

DaddyCoool:
U welcome, and thanks 4 graciously accepting the correction.
If Tinubu had removed subsidy without floating Naira it would have been different. But both at once is too much.

For one thing Awo had a chance to end the war by threatening withdrawal of SW, instead he became Mr. "Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war"!

DaddyCoool:
Really nothing to expatiate {NOT "expantiate"}. If Awo, Zik, etc had played the cards right, we wouldn't be on this mess.
"Omoluabis" would have given a rat's ass if he had turned Nigeria around😎

DaddyCoool:
The operative word is "so far". If in time all these his radical, draconian moves actually makes Nigeria a destination country, then he'd be greater than Awolowo.
Don't forget, Awo was never president. PLUS he's one of the past leaders that brought us to this mess. PLUS his famous "starvation is legitimate weapon of war" and £20 policies. PLUS alleged failed coup plotter, who went to jail and ultimately took his own life due to failed coups. PLUS, more tribalist than city boy Tinubu who is also a moslem.
Bottom line, outside Yoruba land, Tinubu can EASILY become greater than Awolowo.

DaddyCoool:
If Nigeria becomes a major player under him, and diasporeans start clamoring to come home instead of japa, he's automatically the greatest

ottersberger:
Post the picture you refer to here as proof. Second, Nzeogwu is a soldier. The January 1966 coup is a military coup, so it has no ethnic undertone. I guess we are to assume that Ademulegun is also Igbo, or was somehow coerced into the plot by his “evil” Igbos fellow soldiers?.

It's time for the Yoruba to begin to own up to their role in Operation Wet ẹ and its deterioration into the events of the 1966 coup d'état

Omoawoke:
I would have assumed you are one of those that did jamb recently and scored below 200.
But for you to say you paid rent for over 6 years and have been for over 15 years shows that you should be an adult probably in your 30s. Yet you don’t have a life yet, still miserable and behaving like jambites . A fool at 25 is a fool forever bros.
Go and get a life and stop ejaculating over irrelevant things that won’t take you anywhere.

What’s your celebration about, let’s assume the news were true, what contribution will it add to your life? Will it add more financial value or relevance to your life?

Br4life:

DMerciful:
Do you know how much the govt would like to prove that Obi is corrupt?

Obi is a clean as a whistle.....

Of course, like a virgin g/mother

winner37:
Is a fulani in the helm of power now ?
I hope the request from the indigenous people of Yoruba to parted from Nigeria be granted by the federal government..

winner37:
See , am less concerned on whatever is happening in Nigeria..
If you think war is the only war out fine for you but remember the innocent people who will be wasted because of someone stupid mistakes..

Zulu11zulu:
They accommodate people who kill them and hate people who invested in their land .

Bookhub:
kanu has refuse to denounce Biafra struggle, i believe that why they are keeping him if they release him the agitation will continue and even get worse ,have you heard igboho talk about oduduwa again?he has denounced it ,sometimes in life you dont care about your life anymore because of your purpose,kanu is like a soldier that sacrifices his life in battle for his comrades to live only few will understand.

BabaRamota1980:
I am same way. Yoruba has to change Nigeria and lead its recovery forward, or get out and move forward with its own rediscovery and progress independently.

We are the only ethnic group in Nigeria with wherewithall to fix the country, if applicable. Also only ethnicity with solvency to stand alone

Slytiger:
lol. this guy is just a liar like his mentor, Peter Obi.

Melagros:
COMRADES, this is a fight between slave and his master wetin concern me and you

VeryWickedMan:
Seriki Fulani is waiting for Igboho to enter Igboho town if dem born him well.

Flows001:
You're an idiot!

Anybody that attacks the drug baron automatically becomes Igbo.
I'm from Nasarawa State, and you must be stupid enough to try and be denying the fact that you haven't been watching the wailings of your fellow Yoruba fools who voted purely out of sentiments.
My state voted competence, we knew the drug baron had nothing upstairs to offer, we satisfied our conscience by voting right, so nobody is protesting in Nasarawa State, same with the South East.

Una never see anything!

Zooposki:
So it’s now you fools are realizing that the North is not your friend and will keep you stagnant (I beg you pardon for calling you fools in advance). The East has their own wahala but collaboration with them is better, cos you both have the same vision, which is to advance.
