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

Igbos in general are the scum of the earth. Shameless fraudulent two-faced scumbags. I’m glad they’ve showed us their true colours

A hypocrite is someone who accuses others the sins that he commits in triple proportion. Are Yorubas not fraudulent and two-faced?

KingJa:
Igbos in general are the scum of the earth. Shameless fraudulent two-faced scumbags. I’m glad they’ve showed us their true colours.

You suffer from selective amnesia and myopia.

In the infant stage of Nigeria, Igbos formed a government with the Balewa government at the detriment of the other south.

Why don't use your intelligence to ask why Awolowo's offer to form the post-independent government with Zik's NCNC failed? Why don't you research who and what caused the failure rather than regurgitating lazy statements?

Sammy07:
North and Igbos have been voting and helping each other Since 1960..

In fact it's safe to say, Northern and Easterners destroyed this country.

North --- through Government
East --- through aligning with North to vote them in.

Igbos voted for Atiku because you have always voted for Fulanis since the inception of Nigeria.

—In the infant stage of Nigeria, Igbos formed a government with the Balewa government at the detriment of the other south.

—1979, Igbos formed a government with Shagari even when Awolowo was on the ballot- did the Yorubas scream betrayal?

—1983, Igbos voted Shagari again against Awolowo and even Ojukwu campaigned openly for Shagari - Yorubas just forge on

—1993, Igbos voted majorly for Tofa against a fellow southerner MKO- the Yorubas don’t scream betrayal

—1999, Igbos voted for OBJ (favored mostly by the North) and neglected Falae the Yoruba choice

—Yoruba only voted the Northerner in 2015 and Igbos started crying over the media of betrayal. What betrayal? Is it not a democracy anymore?

Is it only southern unity when the Igbos dictate the terms? Where is the acclaimed southern unity since 1960?

Igbos are the greatest hypocrites in Nigeria. I have always told the Yorubas on here never to succumb to your pity tactics.

You folks just make careless statement ( If he had been allowed to run the country..........)

Why don't you focus your attention on investigating who did not allow him to run the country? Was he primarily responsible for his inability to rule Nigeria? Did he personally empower his enemies, via his political actions, who ultimately prevented him from running the country.

These are the questions you need to ask rather than just regurgitating uncritical statements.

KingJa:
A true visionary. If he had been allowed to run this country back then, we would all be enjoying free healthcare and our children free education. I’m sure Nigerians would be experiencing a much stable power supply.

Who made the statement? You or Minority Opinion? Thanks

Adiola:
if you want to die young , believe a Yoruba man men these people can lie both old and young and the worst of it all is after lying they will force themselves into believing it.if lying is the only criterion for missing out heaven believe me these people won't near the streets of heaven

"Chief Awolowo understood the differences in Nigeria but prioritize the unity of Nigeria, no wonder he stood with Nigeria at critical time when if he did otherwise, this great nation would have been history.... Thank you Chief Awolowo for believing in the unity of Nigeria"

What is the morbid fascination with Nigerian UNITY? Why is that we never hear of Liberian UNITY, Ghanaian UNITY, Sierre Leone UNITY or Togo UNITY? Only the empty phrase called NIgerian UNITY. You should interrogate deeply the true meaning of Nigerian UNITY? Is the current Nigerian UNITY the type and substance of Nigerian UNITY Awolowo fought for? If Awolowo were to come back to live, would he sincerely declare that the current Nigerian UNITY is the unity he fought for?

Awolowo did so much for the South West like his counterparts in Northern and Eastern Nigerian. The only time Awolowo served politically at the national level was as Federal Commissioner of Finance and Vice Chairman o Federal Executive Council and more importantly, defacto President under Gowon's military dictatorship and Nigeria-Biafra War. On the face of it, he fought for Nigerian UNITY but remove all the encomiums and patroitism-tinged narrative, he strange decision to align with the north, his erstwhile political enemies, was driven by political opportunism for himself and his Yoruba ethnic group - not by justice, equity and fairness.

(Un)fortunately, man proposes but God disposes. He died, according to Ojukwu, the best president Nigeria never had. His Yoruba ethnic group are worse, economically and politically, in today's One Nigeria than what they were during his reign

sarrki:
Many non Progressive elements always think we adore Awolowo for political reasons. Far from Facts. He, it was, who brought FREE EDUCATION to Nigeria via SW. It was him that brought the First Television Station to Africa. He brought Free Health Services, He gave the children of the poor education, he turned farmers to wealthy people. He built the first tallest building in Nigeria called Cocoa House, he injected energy into Odua Investment..... Even his haters benefitted directly from his politics. He was a rare individual....

Chief Awolowo understood the differences in Nigeria but priotize the unity of Nigeria, no wonder he stood with Nigeria at critical time when if he did otherwise, this great nation would have been history.... Thank you Chief Awolowo for believing in the unity of Nigeria, no wonder the name of his party in the second republic was UNITY PARTY OF NIGERIA.... He believed in the unity and coming together of all Progressives in all zones and parties. He knew that good people were scattered just like bad people too, he believed that Nigeria's greatness is not in her breaking up but in the coming together of all Progressives.... He predicted this during his last birthday that "A time will come when good people from all parties will come together and save Nigeria".... He also believed that for this to come to pass Yoruba have a big role to play being people with deepest progressive roots, therefore, he called upon them to unite and love one another. He said NOONE should cry for him, instead love yourselves and stop politics of bitterness.

Ibrahim Babangida through a speech delivered by Sani Abacha at Awo's funeral said "Since 1956, the politics of Nigeria has been about two issues which are Whether you're for Chief Awolowo or You're against him".... Emeka Ojukwu described him as "the best President that never was...".... Those who know lion know he doesn't need a knife to cut a Buffalo into pieces!!!! Awo na una PAPA!

WHEN a foundation is laid upon Truth, the legacy will be everlasting!!! Ebenezer Obey said and I quote "When Awolowo was alive, he stood on the Truth, they insulted him in his presence, they insulted him in his absence, yet he stood on the truth"....

A o ni gbagbe re titi, A o ni gbagbe re titi, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO.... Eweso Ijebu, gbogbo Omo Alaare mo nki yin, e ku ara Fera ku, gbogbo Omo Oduduwa mo ma nki yin, ALL PROGRESSIVES IN NIGERIA, mo nki yin o..... May BABA Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo's soul continue to rest in peace..

You have time and energy to engage these mentally retarded commnetators who suffer from toddler-level logical reasoning.

All the personalities, dead or alive, who fought against Ojukwu and Biafra - particularly those from the south - regretted their civil war stance stance less than three decades after when the realities of post-Biafra Nigeria under the hegemonic hold of Arewa North.

The dead ones died with overwhelming regret and disillusionment over their action in the fake war of unity which has turned out to be a war to entrench Arewa North hegemony.

The ones alive have become wailers and town criers of political restructuring. They will depart like their fellow war contemporaries with the same regret and shame.

Ojukwu and Biafrans are having the last laugh on Nigerians. Ojukwu lived to see his adversaries swallow their political vomit.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria killed over 3 million Igbos in the name of "one Nigeria". 50 years on, Nigeria has become poverty capital of the world, home of terrorism in Africa, a total failure and "one Nigeria" is farther away than ever

Ojukwu was right to fight for Biafra, he foresaw the monumental failure Nigeria would become and fought to get his people out of that disaster. Great man Ojukwu was, the failure of Nigeria has long vindicated him

Igbos did not start any war. Get your facts right

adoboy04:
stop saying this trash jare! who is holding you? that's when you will be beating your chest. if it was east that formed their security b4 the west now the world would have ended, but since west did it first they have not started. I hate this issue of not letting us go. OK, let me teach you people how to start, one by one you will start to migrate to the east then lets see who will beg or hold you not to go. everything they are waiting for Yoruba, so if Yoruba don't want to go now it becomes their problems. let me tell the Igbo now, if Yoruba make move now the Igbo will dress back. they blame Yoruba for the war and it was you who started the war. if Yoruba started the war now and run away, that's traitor and you started the and start calling names.

You are totally wrong

Sakamaje:
You are somehow correct. The fate of an independent South East is intrinsically linked to the South South for very strategic reasons that cannot be wished away. Without the cooperation of the territory that makes up the South South today, the SouthEast would really struggle to reach its full potential. The South South's later rejection of the Biafra project during the civil war contributed immensely to the stillbirth of the rebellion and loss of that war.

You gave the most objective answer

Obamaofusa:
How each region fared during regionalism may be a pointer to answering this question

All the zones can if they have deep thinkers and prudent managers of resources.

You did not answer the question. Does being landlock an obstacle to becoming and independent country?

Please give the question a second shot?

haywire07:
North east or North west.

South east is a landlocked region that will remain dependent on every other regions around it, either for water or for oil or food and Electricity.

The North has always been able to sustain themselves before discovery of oil and their moderate lifestyle is an advantage. Food and trade will boom easy

South south and south west will flourish due to oil and foreign trade, and transportation (waterways).

North central will remain dependent on mineral resources and they will form a coalition with the NE and NW.

Most of tbe state should never have been in existence in the first place. They were created by (northern) military fiat.

No one should be suprised that they've been misgovered and mismanaged political bandits called governors

Blue3k:
You're going to pay.




Allocation isn't the reason states aren't productive. Alot of states could easily collect tax revenue that bigger than allocation. They worse than the federal government at tax collection even though they can charge things like income and property taxes.

If you want to reduce the Federal governments responsibility and powers that's fine. The tax code needs to be adjusted. Foolish laws like land use should be repealed.

You hit the nail on the head. The unitary government has no business in almost 100% of the projects which she has embarked. They're best left for the regions.

Restructure or peeish!

Bevista:
How about we reorganize our entire governance structure (some people will call it restructuring). The FG currently takes 52% of the entire common wealth of the federation. To justify this, it arrogates to itself massive responsibilities (for which it has shown grossly incapable of handling). The system needs to be structured so that the states have more funds and hence push many of the responsibilities the FG currently handles to the states. The FG should be given max 20% from the federation account.

The FG should focus on key elements like Defense, Immigration, Foreign Missions, Central Banking, etc. What d fvck are they doing with basic education, primary health care, etc?

An idle mind is the devil's workshop ! You have almost zero knowledge about the dynamics between Chinese and American competition.

supercase1:
There are speculations that china would emerge as a world power after this covid-19 crisis.but this theory is a hoarse and resides in mind of those that hate America so much and want to see her fall.china will never be a world power due to the following reasons.
AMERICAN MILLITARY POWER:the USA has a very enormous and powerful millitary with a highly advanced technology driven economy.the millitary might of the USA dwaft that of China/Russia combined,and it is the major reason why the chinese and russians haven't launched their imperial conquest aim.china can't match the us millitary might or project force as the U.S can.that's a quality of a dominant world power.
AMERICA ALLIANCE:The U.S has an unshakable alliance with Europe which is the wealthiest continent on Earth.Europe and US shares historic and crucial ties.this is what china lacks.no matter china vision and target,it can never get europe as allies because they both shares different beliefs.europe is democracy while china is communism.these two are on a parallel line.
China can't and will never be a world power.

The issue is not about Ndigbo Why inject them into matter?

SLIDEwaxie:
you alwys live by stories I guess. For example:

1. ojukwu is a hero. Even we knew he ran away.

2. We are the majority in Lagos. And yet ur vote for agbaje proved u very wrong.

3. We are the backbone of the economy. Yet how many production company Igbo people get? U guys are into buying and selling. And if u produce, na fake.

4. We are the first in education. Yet, ur arguments are insipid, vapid, lacking facts and figures. And even a certificateless buhari had more sense dn ur doctor...


In a but shell, do u just believed that northerners are dullards? If course, since the stories say so.

Please who are the people in mainstream yoruba politics? And ease can you define mainstream Yoruba politics? Who is enjoying mainstream Yoruba politics - majority of Yorubas or select few?

honeyB2018:
If FFK, had stood with the mainstream in Yoruba land to abuse and castigate Abba Kyari in support of the Vice President, Osibanjo, who would have heard about this?
This is what happens when you are not in the mainstream of the Yoruba politics. It was done to Ebenezer Babatope, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, WhabDosumu, even of late Adeseye Ogunlewe.
To the followers of Yoruba politics, this is not new.

And what has the Yoruba nation benefited from using the Ndi-Igbo, and acting and speaking from both sidevof the mouth?

PeterUdeme:
And you think Yoruba would trust Igbo people who are all criminals? Nobody trusts you. We just use you because of your emotional incapabilities. Watch another person use you fools tomorrow.

I totally agree with you!

willyo:
I don't blame either Kyari or Buhari. I blame the poorly oriented backward illiterates and the sophisticated educated dummies that voted, sold and manipulated the sitting dullarrd into power

You gave your acct number without your name. How does anyone who desires to help you make the transfer?

Good morning everyone, I'm sorry to bring my plights on here on a open forum but, I can tell you that I have no other place to turn to as I have exhausted every other limited opportunity I have. I have been having difficulty in feeding my kids and myself since last week Sunday, I'm a tailor and a single mom and I have no one else to help me. For the love of God please help me with any amount so that I can feed my hungry kids, I pray helper will not be far from you. Any amount is appreciated. Thanks and God bless you. FCMB 6794758018
