Please what's the source of this quote?

joeyfire:
Awo swam in tribalism, ate tribalism, wore tribalism, he was tribalism personified. He tried to intimidate the Oba of Benin who quickly put him in his place

You are absolutely right. Awo should never be forgotten in the South West. There is no contention of that fact

Sammy07:
Keep shut.
Stop bringing Zik when mentioning Awolowo.

Awolowo can never be forgotten for his great achievements in South west.

And it's visible till today.

What has all these got to do with Zik? Of what relevance is this tired repetition of Awolowo Firsts that benefited Westernn Region. These were the priorities of Awolowo as the WR premier.

oluwadabira111:
Tribalist coward he brought free education to western part. he erect the biggest storey building at that time to western Nigeria! he brought the first Television station to Nigeria! bro give Zik achievement again!

Which ideas beat his comtemporaries? Did his comtemporaries come begging him for financial help. Every region contollled their destiny and developed according to their resources and endowment.

Bodexman:
No matter the epistle written against him, the Yorubans will forever reference him and hold him in high esteem.

His name & legacies is written in sands of time.

A man who beats his contemporaries hands down in achievements & other.

Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo is his name

That's a lie. Macauley did not hand over NCNC to Zik. Because of his unparalled anti-colonial pedigree, Zik as the general secretary of NCNC was the most qualified person to ascend the position following the sudden demise of Macauley. There was nobody in the entire Nigeria - not least any Yorubaman - that matched Zik's resume who could have competed with him for that position.

Educate yourself and stop regirgitating falaehoods.

Captainrambo2:
h.macauley a youruba man handed ncnc to zik an igbo man. Then there was no tribalism . Even the alafin saw zik as a friend and political leader. Till the trubalistic and divisive awolowo came along

He countered zero nothing. All he made were personal assertions and claims without any empirical evidence to back them up.

tommy589:
It is better this way to counter than to hurl insults

Can you substantiate, with emprocal evidence, your assertion that NCNC was always a Yoruba party before ot spread to the East?

SamNaijaboy:
Nonsense. NCNC had loyalty from Yorubas because it was always a Yoruba party before it spread to the East. It was formed and led by a Yoruba, Herbert Macaulay, who upon his death handed it over to Azikiwe. The Yorubas following Zik did that as a part of their loyalty to NCNC.
Zik is the most tribalitic leader of them all: he should have partnered with AG to be the PM, rather he preferred to be a ceremonial President/Governor General to the North.
He also wanted to be Premier in the West after installing another Igbo as Premier in the East instead of ensuring he went to the East as Premier and working to install a Yoruba in the West using the same party that he inhreited from them.

Same way Igbos come to Lagos to prosper yet can't stop themselves from hating the indigenes that helped them prosper in their midst, always thinking they are smarter than the people who created the environment that makes them excel. Zik should have realized he was a nobody without Herbert Macaulay and the NCNC he gave him to lead without any nepotism and not attempt to rule those who graciously let him lead the party

Awesome job you're being in this forum. Please under what administration and period did this appointments occur?

pazienza:
More.

Out of the 10 Eastern region provincial commissioners.

Eastern minorities had 5, while Igbos had 5. If you count Ogba people in Rivers who are currently claiming non Igbos as minorities, then minorities would have 6 commissioners, while Ndiigbo had just 4.

Notice that the commissioner for Onitsha province was an Ogba man by name Masi.

And that the one for PH was not an Igbo, Ikwerre or Okirika man.

NCNC picked then according to where they had resided and contributed to the society.
Masi might be an Ogba man, but he was an Onitsha province boy as he lived and grew there, hence why he was made the province commissioner, same with Etta Ogon who was the commissioner for PH province despite being from Ikom. He was a Ph boy.

That's how NCNC ran the East.

Boro fought against the federal government not against the Eastern regional government.

Throwback:
Remind us from which region Isaac Adaka Boro declared an independent NigerDelta Republic?

Why did Adaka Boro get tired of seeing Ijaw oil wealth develop Enugu at the detriment of the minorities where the oil was derived?

You are doing a great job here debunking all these Yoruba historical revisionist But l differ in some of your points in Zik.

Who would have fought the war and against whom had Zik refused to accept the 1964 election? Why must Zik be the one always compromising for Nigerian Unity? It is not a testament that his addiction to Nigerian Unity failed woefully as NPC replaced him with Akintola after using him to win political power.

Political power controls everything. But Zik with all his advanced education in political science could not figure it out while a semi-educated Ahmadu Bello understood this without a shadow of doubt.

Imagine if Zik had looked beyond his political and personal problem with Awolowo and accepted the offer of alliance with Awolowo - despite the deceitful nature of Awolowo - post-colonial Nigeria would turned out differently.

Ahmadu Bello would have either implemented his threat of seceding from Nigeria if Awolowo and Zik's alliance prevented NPC from controlling the post-independent government or swallowed his pride and became the opposition. I

Nigeria would have been spared so much pain and death.

Igboid:
I don't know what you are on about.

AG-UPGA in Western region decided to boycott elections and lost all her seats to Akintola controlled NNDP-NNA. But elections held in East and Midwest where NCNC cleared the polls.

NNDP was a Yoruba party full of Yoruba politicians many who were former AG members and so had already guaranteed Western region position in the government.
Zik and NCNC were already cornered, he had to accept the election as it were or plunge the country into war, where the Yorubass already in NNA would easily team up with North and squash the insurrection. Infact, Zik in his press release, noted that he had to break his stand and form a government with NNA or risk going to war, and that seeing as all military facilities were in the North , he wouldn't have stood a chance.

If NCNC refused to form coalition with NNA, NDDP members who were actually former AG members from West, would get all ministerial posts for South, leaving Midwest and East hung and dry.

I would want to believe that the betrayal I see here is the fact that while NCNC and AG were challenging the falsified census that gave North exaggerated numbers in terms of population. NNDP cared not.

Please what has that got to do with the thrust of this write-up?

0balufonlll:
This potor group of emotional tramps nor get any modicum of sense o.
Why all of una sleep face one way? No wonder Ijaws enslaved & sold a lot of you for centuries till the Europeans came into the picture.

You have no job or meaningful job.

MinorityOpinion:
Ojukwu set what's happening in Nigeria in motion. Biafran War was about oil. Ojukwu want to seize power so he saw pogrom in kano as an opportunity to do that.

Wonder why the minorities don't wanna tag along. They could read what was going on.

If you want secession you could have done it through the right way not by bloody coup

Historian Mike Gould from SOAS, University of London, has spent considerable time researching and analyzing the complex situation that followed Nigeria's independence.

Please how old are you?

diplomat058:
Well, I am not really keen on the blame games. For the records, Awo and Gowon are also entitled to knocks in that regard, but exonerating Zik and Ironsi is a betrayal of history. In the pre-independence, Zik paraded himself as a core nationalist and sought sought to undermine the regional structures and mutate self determination. He effectively convinced the NPC to remove the secession clause from the constitution. He favoured the centralization of powers to put the destines of all the peoples in common hands. Ironsi issued unification decree 34 which shattered the then viable federalism. Although the decree was short lived, I believe it prepared the psychosocial groundwork for the later undoing of Gowon who acted to salvage the country from dissolution. And don't forget that if Ironsi had done the needful, we may not have had a war.

That said, I wish the country was successfully torn apart then. I also blame Awo for his culpability in the wreckage of the then viable federalism. And

When did Obasanjo become Igbo? How did you single-handely make Jonathan president?

LukasPodolski:
Baba gerrahere mehn.

Below is Yoruba and Igbo voting pattern since Independence.

Suddenly we betrayed the south because we rejected an ingrate whom we singlehandedly made the president (exaggeration).

Omo ale.

Thank young brother.

Igboid:
There is no proof Zik stopped the insertion of secession clause, neither was there proof that Awolowo and Yorubas wanted out and zik led an army to keep them in.

You must be a Yorubaman. Every other leader and ethnic group( Azikiwe, Ironsi, Ojukwu, Ahmadu Bello, Balewa, Igbos, Hausa/Fulanis) are bad and guilty but your Awolowo and Yoruba ethnic nationality are guiltless and paragon of innocence with regards to this "geographical expression" called Nigeria.

You are a hypocrite and historical revisionist. How was non-inclusion of secession clause responsible for the state of Nigeria today? Yes, your Awolowo unsuccessfully advocated for inclusion of secession clause in the post-war independent constitution.

Yet, when his beloved principle was actionalized in 1967 when Eastern Region seceded, the same two-faced Awolowo went against the principle he advocated for less than a decade earlier by aligning with the Hausa/Fulani to fight an unjust war that killed over 2 million Biafrans fighting for self-determination which he supported earlier.

Typical Yoruba:
-Two-faced and double-tongued.
-Empty vessel that makes the loudest but empty -noise.
-Do as l say not as l do.
-Never able to match words with action.

Zik only, verbally, opposed secession, yet the average Yoruba castigates him. Your Awolowo went to war and killed millions of innocent children and women to oppose secession which he earlier supported, yet no Yoruba castigates him. Instead they adorn him with false nationalist and patriotic garb.

What a stinking hypocrisy!

flokii:
All you've stated could have been avoided if not for Azikiwe, Ironsi and the Easterners who fought the inclusion of a "SECESSION CLAUSE" in the constitution.

It could have been so easy. Anyone who wants to leave could leave without bloodshed but NO, Azikiwe out of greed and hope of Igbo dominace blew it all away.

So you see why we say the Igbos are the architect of this failing system we have today. The recklessness of their leaders in connivance with the North ruined everything.

Come 2023, Yorubas will take over governance in Nigeria and things will change.

Why is restructuring not visible in Nigeria for now? And who told you restructuring would be a instant and one-year political solution?

helinues:
Restructuring is not visible in Nigeria for now . That's the reality people are shying away from.

Didn't Osinbajo lead restructuring campaign during OBJ's government? Why did he shun the idea now that he is VP?

Obasanjo talking restructuring is only being mischievous.. How many states in Nigeria can survive without oil revenue?

Has any region created an alternative for revenue generation should in case of oil drop like this?

Restructuring bill won't pass second reading ..May be from 10 years oo and that's only if this Corona would reset the brain of our leaders.

Stop lying!

flokii:
One thing you must understand is that Yorubas are blessed and naturally ahead.. despite being in the opposition since Independence with Northern and Eastern regions in power, South West still fared well while the duo can't pin point any particular thing they achieved with power held for years.

Pa Awolowo is the reason why Yorubas have a voice today as Nnamdi Azikiwe then wanted two regions, North (Hausa speaking) and South (Igbo speaking) but God pass them and his plans failed.

The Middle Belt region made that mistake which they are regretting today from incessant killings, land dispute to Hausa/Fulani dominace in politics. God bless pa Awo for the great foresight he had.

South West will forever thrive whether in Nigeria or otherwise.

Chihas 10 times the fake product than Igbos yet they are the second largest economy and your Nigeria cannot survive without China. So we have a good company and example in China.

One of the best post.

jacksonkennedy:
What exactly is our national goal?

We know that Hausa/Fulanis want to keep Nigeria one and dominate it.
We know that Ibos want to divide Nigeria and go with the SS

What is our own unique goal?

We just registered our ethnic group in UNPO, which may suggest to other Nigerians that we want out of this union. Yet we are positioning for presidency in 2023.

It's good but I want to know what our people think should be our end game.

Your Azikiwe is the root cause of the mess we are now by his penchant to compromise when the occasion demands fortitude and steadfastness. Where is the One Nigeria for which he sold Igbo future for mirage called Niger I Unity?

Eastlink:
Truth be told Ndigbo have suffered in this country. Partly also caused by them.

Since the demise of Nnamdi Azikiwe we've lost our political expediency. Emotionalism introduced by recent Igbo leaders, MASSOB and IPOB has taken a toll on our pride.

First we must get it right political. The era of trying to please others must seize henceforth. We did the nonsense with the Yoruba's in Abiola and Obasanjo and repeated the same to GEJ, yet their tribesmen would never pays us back in like manner.

Igbo must get it right and all those who scorned her will come begging on their knees. We must start using our thinking caps and be pragmatic.

The likes of MASSOB and IPOB offer nothing to Ndigbo. We must push them out for an hard core Pan Igbo group that looks after our interest first.

We must begin to vote in leaders that think Igbo first just as the Fulani's voted in a Buhari. Any lily livered Igbo politician who thinks others first etc must be destroyed politically.

Why don't you engage him and stop your infantile
postings?

All because of the 3m Igbo souls your pained like this Pele

What is the thrust of this post?

Hotice085:
Prior to independence the minority groups in their Provinces had control over themselves and resources directly, these provinces were made up of Divisions.

Calabar- 8 Divisions. Ogoja-5 Divisions Rivers-4 Divisions Onitsha-5 Divisions Owerri-5 Divisions.

Though Ogoja province controlled what is now Ebonyi (Abakaliki, Afikpo). Everybody had it going for themselves until the drum of independence started drumming. The IBO's despite having the smallest land mass had the population.

Eyo Ita the leader of Eastern government and the NCNC was machinated out of government by no other group but the IBO's. Azikiwe who had been playing politics outside lost out as an an opposition figure in the west but ran down to the East and used every tribal sentiments to remove the Eyo Ita led NCNC. This myopic selfish acts by Azikiwe birthed COR ( CALABAR OGOJA RIVERS)

From 1954 AZIKIWE took charge, later became Premiere, left to become President but he made sure IBOs continued. Michael Opara was Premiere, Akanu Ibiam was Governor, Ojukwu was the last governor. Every KEY POSITIONS were IBOs. The capital of the eastern region having been moved from Calabar to Enugu gave them enough impetus to control the region politically.

The major source of income was palm oil Calabar province alone which had 8 Divisions was the highest contributor, AZIKIWE came in and cornered the Commonwealth to predominantly Igbo's speaking enclaves. Educational facilities ( University of Nigeria), hospitals, infrastructures were concentrated in Igbo land. The Africa Continental Bank set up by the entire region wealths, I tell you had AZIKIWE as the largest share holder and IBO's as the major staffs and loan beneficiaries.

While branches of the banks sprang up in most Divisions in Igbo land, Calabar a Province had one only. My grandparents/ uncles had to be going from Itu(a Division) a very thriving port town to Calabar for banking. AZIKIWE did not just engineer the removal of Eyo Ita from his position, he made sure key agitators were decimated and wickedly enough it was only to groups outside of Igbos. The then Obong of Calabar was one he really tormented by encouraging and creating Chiefdoms to spite the Obong.

The Ibibio/Efiks and others he appointed were basically albatross to the Obong, Eyo Ita Udo Udoma and other COR agitators. The divide and conquer tactics he adopted may not have been been an Igbo agenda but AZIKIWE a man at that height and leadership encouraged it to the fullest.

The Eastern Nigerian Scholarship Board was seriously basta-rdize by the IBO's control government, Adaka Boro was on this scholarship, my grand uncle applied for 3 good years but NEVER got it. The last time he went to Enugu to check for his name was worse than all time IBO's had 70 out of the list of hundred while others where names from appointees. This is a scholarship for the best in d region but they sat on it like their birthright. This scholarship gave them miles ahead of other tribe. Well he did get a scholarship/ grant from the Presbyterian Church to read radiography in Scotland.

BIAFRA was only a continuation of where AZIKIWE left it, ADAKA BORO who dropped out of the University of Nigeria claimed to have won the students union election but was rigged by out due to his minority beliefs. He had declared sovereignty for his own people ( unlike IPOB) but Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi rejected it and jailed him, now OJUKWU an IBO man declares his BIAFRA expecting Adaka Boro to be part of it, imagine!

BIAFRA was an IBO creation most of the other ethnic group only wanted a STATE of their own. Let it be clear that the Ibibios had men of high ranks on both side. The highest in the entire Nigerian Army was an Akwaibomite Brig. Gen. Bassey Wellington. Ojukwu never measured up to Philip Effiong not to talk of Bassey Wellington.

Bassey was on the Nigerian side but Phillip Effiong his junior joined BIAFRA. The Igbo's had Ike Nwachukwu(Gen) even AZIKIWE never supported it but the Biafrans never went to their villages and massacre rape anyone but this they did in Ibibio land. My aunty an amputee got shot in her dormitory while in an all girls school when the Basta-rds stormed there, and this is in a community where the 2nd in command of the Biafran Basta-rds soldiers comes from. Ironically are grandchildren are IBO's cause her only daughter is married to a port Harcourt based Abia man.

Honestly when you guys go huffing and puffing up yourselves do you stop to listen to others or you just see things from your own perspectives?

For the IPOB rats who had to spit on MASSOB and metamorphosed into a brand of Online propagandists thinking they know better than what a SS man in Adoko Boro started, KANU and his IPOB will regrets crossing into territories they aren't welcomed.


Blackking98 and South South people If any IPOB thread on you do same to him we have always been ahead in everything and we may be calm but BOLD and FEARLESS


The very first Nigerian to be commissioned officer was “Wellington Bassey” with Army number (N1). Two months later, “Aguiyi Ironsi” (N2) and “Samuel A. Ademulegun” (N3) were also commissioned. A short while later, “Ralph Adetunji Shodeinde” (N4) was also commissioned officer.

Igbos led by Captain Nwobosi crushed your operation wetie noise SIMPLE.


That's not true Don't join this fellow in his crudeness. Nwobosi actually saved many Yorubas in the wetie and did not carry out the instructions from his military ogas.

NwaAro:
Igbos led by Captain Nwobosi crushed your operation wetie noise SIMPLE.

Hausas used the kill Igbos when we were too docile and tolerant to their bullshit, today go to the North and ask what Igbos have been doing in the North after the 2006 cartoon riots, today the whole of sabon Gari all over the North have NEVER been attacked till date because the Igbos have been resisting them. Ask any North indigene or anybody who lives in the North now! Only Igbos fight them back along with the Christian indigenes, while you yaribanza cowards run and hide in army barracks like the cowards that you are.
If Awo was shot by Ojukwu, your region WOULDN'T HAVE DONE SHIT. Now go and cry in a corner.

"Ojukwu's denouncement however was predicated on gowon's adoption of the title Supreme Commander but not as Head of the Military govt of nigeria"

That;s not true. Ojukwu did not recognize Gowon from day one - regardless of the title he gave himself. In fact Ojukwu said his ascension into office of H.O.S was illegal and unconstitutional.The northern military governor (Katsina) recognized Gowon because power had returned back to the north. What you should interrogate is why the 3 southern governors - particularly Adebayo of Western Region and Johnson of Lagos accepted without any whiff of protest, the imposition of a junior office over them, selected exclusively by northerners with no input from an Yoruba or Igbo military personal.

This is where the seeds of northern domination of Nigeria via Nigerian Military was planted under the watchful eyes of southern officer excluding Ojukwu

T9ksy:
How could you ask such a dumb question ? I bet you often wonder why folks tend to question your IQ.

Awo was in chains when Gowon took over the reins of govt in the country for treasonable felony. Both parties needed Awo's support but a regional military administrator has no powers to release a federal prisoner. The Head of prisons service in nigeria is certainly not beholden to a regional governor.

On August 1, 1966, Gowon announced by radio that he had taken the title of Supreme Commander and Head of the Military Government and his act was to rescind Ironsi's infamous decree 34. One major figure was not a party to this agreement and immediately denounced it: the Military Governor of the Eastern Region, Col Ojukwu. The other 3 military governors were in agreement with gowon's announcement. Ojukwu's denouncement however was predicated on gowon's adoption of the title Supreme Commander but not as Head of the Military govt of nigeria.

"If Awo had resisted Gowon,trust me Awo would have been killed quickly and easily"

Please can you expantiate on this statement above?

What kind of resistance would have gotten Awolowo killed?

What would have been the reaction of Yoruba solders/elites if Awolowo had been killed?

Would they have still supported the North in the war after seeing their most famous kinsmen Awolowo killed?

Northerners killed Fajuyi and Yoruba Military did noting and went ahead to support the north in the war. They hounded Ogundipe the next-in succession to Ironsi out of Nigeria. They didn't even regard Wey and Adebayo who were ahead of Gowon. Yet again Yoruba Military did nothing.
If Gowon had killed Awolowo as you asserted and the Yoruba Military had still gone ahead to support them in the civil war, what would you have called Yoruba Military?

Why informs your believe that Gowon would have killed Gowon given the fact that was unsure of his position and had no control of the whole country, and more importantly lacked the intelligence, experience and knowledge to run complex country like Nigeria?

Why did Awolowo and Yorubas join the north to fight against Biafra?

Lastly, why did the North fight the civil war - Nigerian Unity or One Nigeria where they will dominate the country and politically structure it to their advantage?

Top1gun:
Foolish narrative of event

Pedetrian analysis!

JetStar:
Do you know why this is the case in Nigeria. I think it is the sheer lack of domestic flights due to the unafforadable costs by most of the middle class Nigerians. If a middle class Nigerian wants to travel a distance of 500km, they would rather take a rickety bus instead of a plane. this explains the low volume of flights in many of the Nigerian airports. Airports need electricity to run, they need workers to keep the place running, and they need businesses to keep it running. Sorry to say this, there are many places that are not just ready for airports but governors are the problem. Because they want to impress their citizens, they won't mind build one big infrastructure that most of their citizens will never be able to use. If a governor invest his state money on renewable energy or roads or agriculture, almost everyone can benefit from it. But infrastructure such as airports and railways are very expensive (railways in particular) and they seem to be only for the "rich people" (in the Nigerian language).

In the United States, there are lots of domestic flights. Many Americans won't use a vehicle if they're considering travelling a distance of over 500km. that's what boost the airport revenue.

Well, the cost of flights is to blame.

I disagree with you. The top 20 airports in the world are disproportionately owned by government and managed by a competent publicly-owned airport airport authority.

Had the military not truncated the First Republic , the four regions would have owned and successfully managed the airports in their regions, just as they did with other government institutions and agencies within their region

Classworked:
Nigeria's problem can only be tackled ideologically. The power of a liberal society with a free market cannot be over estimated in Nigeria's struggle for a strong and fair economy.
No one economist can categorically state whether Nigeria is a capitalist society or a socialist nation. Nigeria's welfarism claims are not without major flaws as the basics of electricity and free quality education are lacking.

No government should fund an airport in the 21st century. Investors should control and operate airports while the Federal Government ,whose power to control aviation which is expressly stated in the exclusive list of the grund norm of this nation, tax and regulate the airport owners.

I have read Nigerians who are shareholders in airinports at the United Kingdom.

Were the airports viable crom the outset? The answer is no. They were quota-system and federal character-driven airports. Nigeria should have no more than 6 to 8 airports ( one for each geo-political zone owned and managed by the states within that zone and competing with each other

SeverusSnape:
Every sector under this administration is going down the drain.

You don't know much about US history given your attempt to rationalize Nigeria's failings with USA example. That's the classic example of false equivalency

Exc2000:
life goes on, US stumbled and fell , with civil war and many crisis for over 300 year before perfecting what the have as a Democratic Nation right now., even at that they still go through crisis from time to time, Nigeria is a less than 60 year Old republic, and less than 30 year old Democracy, overall almagamation is less than 120 years

So for a Nation with 200 million people, 300 ethnic diversity, all heavily relying on paltry 2.5m crude oil per day when US does 15 million on 300 citizen, and Saudi does 14 million barrels on 40 million citizen, I am personally optimistic about Nigeria slowly getting it right some day through the democratic system, and I also believe without any doubt that a Yoruba man is poised to bring that tourch of detribalized stability and leadership as enjoyed during obasanjos terms, in 2023
