[s] gidgiddy: Nigeria is a truly funny country. It is one where those who did worse, blame those who did better. A typical example is Buhari, who has performed far worse than Goodluck Jonathan in 6 years, but will always blame Jonathan
They say that Awolowo, even Ahmadu Bello, wanted secession clause put in the constitution, but Zik opposed it, and as a result, it was not part of the constitution
Lets assume this is all true. What later happened? When Igbos seceded, the same Awolowo became a disciple of "one Nigeria"
The same man who they say was passionate about putting secession clause in the constitution, became the chief of "one Nigeria forever" under Gowon during the war.
With the benefit of hindsight, we now know that Awolowo was not a consistent man, he wanted secession clause today, and didnt want to hear anything secession later.
So why use Awolowo, a typical politician who shifts the goal post when it suits him, as an example?
Had Awolowo been a principled man who felt that every region should have the right to secede, as they say he canvassed for, he would have had no business serving under Gowon to destroy Biafra
Awolowo was a hypocrite when it comes to secession [/s] Trash Ojukwu the fighter for Biafra later contested for Nigerian presidency Not governor o PRESIDENT. Besides Awolowo simply did what was best for everyone -stop the war |

My opposition to secession-Zik Sunday, June 25, 2017 8:28 pm By Nnamdi Azikiwe When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual. That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued. The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level. So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded. Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable. The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us. Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution. — Excerpt: Nnamdi Azikiwe’s interview with New Nigeria in 1975.
Your fathers forced 'one Nigeria', down our fathers' throat in concert with the British, in 1954 and the consequences of your fathers' greed and love for "dominance is what the whole country is going through as a Nation, today. Your fathers, in concert with the British made it a treasonable offense, punishable by death,for any one, who makes an attempt to break away, any component part of the country, from the Nigerian Federation. The main reason we are all hooked today, as a Nation.

u reason am. Google the 5 best Nigerian actors Also Google 5 best directors Let's see And gospel Bring proof Burnaboy has oluwaburnaHe says it more than odowgwu And he puts Yoruba in all his songs too Burnaboy is nothing without fela's influence Jagaban is not a Yoruba word Nigerian entertainment industry is deep rooted in Yoruba influence Maybe because of Lagos |

odysey: I used to believe in Nigeria, sadly I wanted Gej gone and pmb in, it the one thing in this life I wish I could take back
The good thing is his government has shown us nigeria as it really is A failed state, a country without a future, a space that kills it's own, robs it's citizens and continuously impoverishes them
Ever wondered why the country never progresses , always backwards, same contracts still awarded after been awarded over a decade ago
I have come to the conclusion that those in power have intentionally put the country and her people under for their personal benefit and as such the only way to progress is to Split into as many parts as possible If we want a united nigeria
1. It must be regional with each region in full control of her resources, security etc else Nigeria is dead and gone
2. Everyone in government past and present must be tried for crimes against Nigerians
3. The Assets sold to their cronies must be retrieved
4. Everyone that has been a victim of the rulers and the failed state must be compensated
5. Finally we will end the current constitution and everyone will be involved in the new one Exactly Regionalism |
