He was a nationalist who played a major part in getting independence for Nigeria.

He was also Nigeria's foremost federalist. The first Nigerian politician with a federalist manifesto. He was also the leading social democratic politician in his time.

He was also a journalist. He established Nigeria's first indigenous television station WNTV which became NTA.

He was also a prolific writer who penned 14 books, including memoirs and political materials.

In short, federalism included in the Littleton Constitution of 1954 which prepared Nigeria toward independence was spearheaded by Awolowo.

He was a politician like no other and he dwarfed even Azikwe.

He did not dwarf azikiwe. Jesus Christ.

How can a separatist dwarf the father of Nigeria?
How many monuments does he have compared to azikiwe.?

I honestly don't known why the Seyi guy is still in the house with his punchable face.

Brings out the worst in people.

Calabar boy wey dey give khafilat vitamin D on a regular

The father of Nigeria.

LegendHero:
I’ll reply you one by one and I want you to please use statistics or numbers to back up your claim.

Imo State can never be the state with the highest number of professors, the last time I checked it was Ekiti state. Let me tell you why SW dwarf other regions in terms of education.

The state with the highest no of professors is Ekiti.
Out of the top 10 universities in Nigeria, SW features 7 universities. For you to know about the contribution of the SW to education, lot of private universities are situated in the SW, even some of the private universities are part of the top 10 in the country. Check the highest number of researches and patents, they are majorly from SW universities, stop believing the lies of IPOB bureau of statistics.

Verdict: The Igbo man future is Yorubas yesterday in education.

Other countries watch those nollywood movies coz they are in English and major Yoruba movies are in Yoruba language. The Yoruba sectors of the movie industry produces the highest number of films, that’s a fact. The Yoruba movie industry contribute huge revenue to Nolywood in general. English movies features actors from high Yoruba and Igbos so you can’t use that as a distinguishing factor.

You are right about the sport team, Igbos dominate that for sure. But what about the Music industry? Yoruba dominate that both in the country and in diaspora. Right from the time of Fela, Ebenezer Obey, Fuji, and now to the current Corp of hip-pop artist, most successful musicians are Yorubas. From Dbanj, wozkid, Davido, kiss daniel, Burna boy (mixed SS & SW) in the local scene. Sade Adu, Wale, and Rotimi on the int’l scene and a host of others.

You won’t hear the Yorubas brag about our achievements coz it’s already the norm.

Actually the reverse is the case.
We have met you and overtook you in a few years in every possible strata.

There was an article where a Yoruba educationist was lamenting about Igbo have displaced Yoruba in education.
There is nothing Yoruba have done that Igbos have not matched.
If not for the civil war which crippled the Igbo people, you wouldn't have gone so far ahead in the first place given how highly educated Igbos in the first republic were.
But thank God for God.

As for the rest of your post, I have answered it already.

LazyGold:
The state with the highest numbers of professors in Nigeria is Ekiti State

Yoruba is still the most Educated tribe in Nigeria

Yoruba have the highest numbers of professors

Highest numbers of SAN

Best Institutions in Nigeria are dominated by Institutions in South West

So what exactly do you want to use to say otherwise?

Even with the recent poor performance of South West in WAEC the best WAEC student through out West Africa last year was still from South West and South West still use to perform very well in NECO so you can not use that to determine level of education

Even the Nollywood you are talking about comprises of all Nigerian films and every region in Nigeria is contributing

When it come to popularity the English part might be more popular and even the English actors and actresses comes from every region in Nigeria

Even in Sports every region in Nigeria is contributing, the most talents come from your region but how come the two highest goal scorers in the History of super Eagles are Yoruba?

Do you even know that the Dtigress team have been dominated by Yoruba in the past?

Yoruba dominated almost every sectors in Nigeria

But empty barrel make the loudest Noise

Ekiti state is no longer the state with the highest number of professors.
Better get current with the times. I get am before no be property.
The first vice chancellors of your Yoruba universities were Igbo.
That is an indelible record.

You have finally moved from yorubaa helped Nollywood to everybody helped Nollywood.
Don't worry, you would soon come closer to the the truth.

The English part is more popular, true. But it is dominated by Igbo actors, shot in igboland mostly, and produced by iweka road producers.
That is Nollywood that the world knows.

The fact that you are still arguing on sports is laughable.
You have the highest goal scorer, yet the two most successful Nigerian footballers of all times are Igbo.
Even the team that rashidi yekini and yakubu played in was dominated by Igbo players.

Go to athletics, it is the same story. Basketball the same story.

You are not only behaving like an empty vessel, you are also hanging on to past glories that have been obliterated by igbos.

I am always a supporter of indigenous production.
It is the pathway to development.

But under buhari, it is not as simple as that. Herdsmen are murdering farmers, and there is high insecurity. And nothing is being done.
How exactly are you to create that kind of food output?
Even the crops that manage to grow are devoured by cows grazing indiscriminately.
Where then is the stability to make any kind of economic impact?

If it was during the time of akinwunmi adeshina, it would have been the obvious move.

LazyGold:
Which academia are you talking about?

Best higher institutions in Nigeria are dominated by higher institutions in South West

Highest numbers of professors in Nigeria go to the south west

Highest numbers of SAN in Nigeria also go to the South west

Journalism in Nigeria is also dominated by South West

South West is the most Educated region in Nigeria

When it come to National sports every region in Nigeria is representing from South West to South South to South East


The two highest goal scorers in the history of Super Eagles were Yoruba players


South West also dominate the entertainment industry in Nigeria

South West dominate the music industry and even the Yorubawood part of Nollywood is doing pretty well to the extent that you can find Yoruba movies on Netflix

Highest grossing Nigerian films were dominated by films directed by Yoruba

When it come to private sectors you guys are not even a match for Yoruba

When it come to technology too Yoruba lead infact Yoruba dominated


Yoruba also dominated the Betting and gambling industry in Nigeria

Bet9ja is own by Yoruba

Nairabet is own by Yoruba

Surebet is own by Yoruba

Betking is co founded by Yoruba

1960bet is own by Yoruba

Merrybet is own by Yoruba


Yoruba absolutely dominated the betting and Gambling industry in Nigeria

Yoruba lead in almost everything in this country


All you guys can do is make empty noise and beat chest

The state with the highest number of professor is IMO state according to the NUC.

And Yoruba are no longer the most educated in the country.
It is not possible.

I went through the nonsense you wrote, and I don't believe that is what you want to use to debunk me.
A couple of companies is what makes Nigeria?

Abeg, shift make I laugh.

Even the Nollywood itself is Igbo dominated. Two or three Yoruba English producers that just came on the scene is not what makes Nollywood.
Go to any country in Africa and ask them what is the name for a Nigerian King, they would tell you it is igwe.
Nollywood is synonymous with Igbo culture because Igbo's built it.
I am not talking about local Yoruba wood or whatever.

Go through most of your sport teams from 1960-date and check which ethnic have been producing most talents.
I don't need to tell you it is Igbo.
Even the D' tigerees female basketball team that just qualified for the semis in Senegal is Igbo dominated.

Yeye dey smell.

LazyGold:
Which of the National endeavours and useful human capital do you constitute?


Or you just feel like typing bullshit and beat chest

From your academia to the private sector to your national sports teams, it screams Igbo.

LegendHero:
You really don’t know what you are saying. PDP got that number of vote in the SW because people already lost hope in Buhari and that reflected in the votes. It’s not a matter of Osinbajo or Obi.

Write this down, APC will get nothing less than 85% of the vote cast in the SW if a Yoruba man is on the ballot as presidential candidate (Fashola or Osinbajo).

To be honest, Peter Obi or Umahi will win the votes in the SS and SE with nothing less than 85% also.

If the southerners are the candidate for PDP and APC, then the major fight is in the NE and NW. The NC vote will be shared 50/50.

Even if all the Yoruba votes went to osibanjo which is not possible, he would still lose woefully in the south.

The only Yoruba candidate that won the South did it under the PDP and was not a product of greed.

agabusta:
Vote Fashola as President of Nigeria.

Vote the minister of darkness. The rocket science man?
All talk no action merchant.

Try again in 2039 when it is your turn.

By that time, good and credible people would have done the hardwork of national development.

VicThory:
This is why SS don't align with SE because they are not in consideration when considering leadership.

If not for the south East, Jonathan would have been swallowed alive.
Anyway, the real south south on the ground know what the east have done.for them.

eme2015:
Bad bele

Where is the good belle in what he wrote?

Threebear:
Essh !

How can one person be this handsome

UK weather can do that to you.

Anytime i see khafi, my eyes just go straight to her boobs that are bursting at the edges due to the size of it.

E no go better for gedoni

haffaze777:
well Dave umahi is manageable but no no no to Obigot China Obiliar.give us igbokwe or Okorocha

Obi is actually what you need.

But umahi is not bad at all. Both are some of the best the current system can offer.

Ssying you want okorocha or igbokwe shows you don't like Nigeria.

And she looks like a wife material.
Go to codedruns.com and see wife materials doing ashawo work.
If they don't tell you, you won't know.

NA only 500 naira ashawo dey show for face.

Ultimatezlant:
lol, this one weak me o, "taking statistics from lesser population" Igbo land that is flowing with milk and honey suddenly becomes lesser population to its people again.


Wonderful!!!!

No

I am.quoting from people like you who claim Igbos are no longer at home.

cococandy:
If you want to hide your marriage, then you’re the problem, the co called single women who won’t leave you alone.

Why did you darken the symbol on your shirt?
Are you scared of nairalanders.?

Chiwude:
Sure. I think the APC may field either a Ken Nnamani, Rochas, Ameachi, Uzor Kalu while the likes of Umahi, Wike or Obi gets the nod for the PDP.
The SW will be in for a shocker.

I don't want to put my hopes too much in the APC.
Pinning Igbo hopes on the APC would be bad politics due to the tinubu factor.
The guy has no respect for fair play.

Though Amaechi could get it as an Igbo South South man, but i won't bet on it.

We need to ensure PDP runs with an Igbo.

The IQ of African leadership is poor.

Ultimatezlant:
Rubbish you are just grasping at straws, are their not also hausas, Yoruba's etc included in these voters and other states.


The law recognises state by state basics for accurate geographic political compass

How does that affect my statement?

If igbos are outside the east than the.east as you guys claim, and they decided to vote for a particular candidate.

Are you accurate by taking only the statistic of the lesser population?

Una never suffer reach. That money can build two center of excellence- Neo-natal hospitals for children in Abuja.

Just look at the waste. Those same cars would later be auctioned back to them at 1 Million naira each.

Ultimatezlant:
lol, first am not Yoruba , next all these your tales of turning history in its head as you usually do won't work here.

Obj scored 18,738154 against falae 11,110287 in the 1999 election.

Igbo total votes for the winner obj was 2,307712 votes in all east states


Now subtract 2,307712 votes from obj 18,738154 obj still has 16,430442 votes

I thought you guys claim all Igbos have left the south East to Yoruba land.

Are they now back in Igbo land?

The south East has the advantage of a southern popularity even before the elections.
We will defeat any Yoruba contender in the southern region and take the battle to the.north.

A Dave umahi or a Peter obi for the goal.

I salivate at the scale of national infrastructure a Dave umahi is capable of creating with federal resources.
The guy has transformed ebonyi.

The south east would be coming out fully for presidency in 2023.
No hiding behind anybody as VP.

And APC were the ones giving him the justification.
They Ran down the president and the country because of politics.

helinues:
Sorry dont expect any reasonable explanations from a bigot as you claimed..

Have a nice day buddy

Have a nice day too. And tone down on the bigotry.
Say something new once in a while.

helinues:
Why are you guys always aggressive.. I would have ignored the thread but I realised most of your people knows nothing or little about Nigeria politics.. Was about to give you reasons why trying to be partisan but you blew the chance up.

All the best to you guys ambition

Aggressive?
That is definitely not aggressive.
Insulting the South East by calling it a bad ticket is aggressive.
I wanted you to tell me how a.bad candidate managed to beat the vice President in the South handsomely.

Or maybe you somehow think buhari popularity= Yoruba popularity.
