omonnakoda:
To a large extent you are correct though I fail to see why the same logic does not apply today if we replace the word REGION with the word state. How is it differenthuh
If I got you very clear, tthat could lead to easy secession of those states to a singular nations. This I believe was what NZEOGWU and AGUIYI tried protecting when they truncated the regionalism.. But it's quite unfortunate that same east region is the one crying loudest foul today..

It is a video you have probably seen. These
days of violent tribal evangelism you
probably would have watched the 1.28
seconds clip and not the full 2 minute
clip. Therefore I insist you first watch this
2 minute clip to get the whole
conversation then proceed to understand
why I present that Ahmadu Bello the
Sardauna was perhaps not the man you
have been poisoned to think he was by
mischievous media warriors and exuberant
malicious youth history revisionists. Watch
clip here: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=8y1Zpk4DrlA


And here is the text:


White man: One thing I have noticed
while I have been here is that northerners
seem to have a n obsession about the
Igbos. Could you explain that to me?


Sardauna: Well, the Igbos are more or
less the type of people, whose desire is
mainly to dominate everybody. If they go
to a village; to a town, they want to
monopolise everything in that area. If you
put them in a labour camp as a labourer,
within a year, they’ll try to emerge as head
man of that camp, and so on. Well in the
past, our people were not alive to their
responsibilities; because, as you can see
from our northernisation policy, that in
1952 when I came here, there weren’t 10
northerners in our civil service here…and I
tried to have it northernised and now all
important posts are being held by
northerners.


White man: Is this policy of filling all key
posts in the north solely with northerners
and not with other Nigerians a temporary
or permanent one?


Sardauna: In actual fact, what it is, is a
northerner first. If you can’t get a
northerner, then we take an expatriate like
yourself on contract. If we can’t then we
can employ another Nigerian but on
contract, too. This is going to be
permanent, I should say, for as far as I
can foresee; because it would be rather
dangerous to see the number of boys we
are now turning from all our learning
institutions coming out (and) having no
work to do. I’m sure that whichever
government of the day might be rather
embarrassed and it might even lead to
bloodshed.


White man: Doesn’t this damage the idea,
Sir of all people in all regions in Nigeria
being co-citizens of one country?


Sardauna: Well it might but you are new
to our region – how many northerners are
employed in the East or in the West? The
answer is (none), and if there are any,
there may be 10 labourers employed only,
in the two regions.
**** THE END ****
So what transpired?


There Was No One Nigeria At The Time
First we must understand the time frame
and context of Sardauna’s conversation
with the White man.
At the time Nigeria was not a central
governed country, it had the regionalism
many today fight for. In 1939, Bernard
Bourdillon the Governor-general created
the three provinces and established
federalism in Nigeria.

At independence regional legislatures were
established. Three unique legislators for
three mostly autonomous regions.
Northern region
Eastern region and
Western region
It was at such a time, when there were
three literally independent regions that
Sardauna was interviewed. Ahmadu Bello,
Sardauna was the first premier of the
Northern Nigeria region, he ruled
from 1954 till 1966 when Nzeogwu
murdered him.


So when people attempt to portray
Sardauna as a tribalist, they are being
mischievous and malicious. Under true
regionalism, your duty as premier of your
region is to bring out the best output for
the indigenous people of your region. You
have no obligation to serve to the needs of
the people of other regions over your
own. As can be noticed in the last response
by Sardauna, which is purposefully cut out
of most agitator and fake evangelists’ clips
on the net, when pried further, late
Sardauna actually said that at the time the
north was actually more accepting of other
regions than the other, Western and
Eastern regions. He said tops, you will find
10 northerners working in the civil service
of the Eastern and Western regions and
these northerners will be no more than
mere lowest class laborers. This deposition
has not been contested or denied by any
of the revisionists.
The Men That Ended Regionalism And
Made A One Nigeria
Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, being a
Southerner who grew up in the north and
was perhaps more Hausa than Igbo did not
respect the tenets of regionalism and
perhaps had other desires and agenda for
Nigeria. He struck with the first coup and
killed Sardauna. Aguiyi Ironsi from the
South East who was perhaps not a very
bright man, took over and without proper
thought, scrapped regionalism and this is
how we got here today. It was two South
Eastern men in succession that did away
with the regionalism and true federalism
system and replaced it with a One Nigeria.
Only in the context of a One Nigeria
without regionalism as obtains today can
Sardauna’s comments be taken as
tribalistic. Think about it, while Sardauna
was talking about mere employment,
Ojukwu was asking for an entire separate
nation. This was the terrain that obtained
at the time. Up to me, I reject their
regionalism methods that cut out, I am
for no borders and equal opportunities
not just for other regions but other
African nations, “everybody come inside,”
however we must understand the roles
and particular challenges of these men in
those peculiar times of a new regional
Nigeria.
It is important to note that Sardauna in
this clip never denigrated Igbos, rather he
described their excellence in rising up the
ladder and conquering all challenges to
dominate in competitive fields of human
endeavor.
This is of course a very beautiful and
expansive tale and we invite all young
Nigerians to read their history more and
be better informed so they are not used as
couriers of power drunk tribalist
megalomaniacs who are anti African unity
and progress.


A Side Note:

The Wise’ol Buhari Will
Satisfy All Nigerians

I must mention that I can put my
anythings on the table to bet and assure
Nigerians that Nigeria of today has one of
its best leaders and perhaps the least
corrupt leader in not just Africa, but the
entire world. Be assured that Federal
character will be respected and there shall
be enough appointment opportunities for
decent and unfortunately also for
parasitic, federal employment dependent
politicians from most regions (it’s 500
ethnic groups and rather impossible to
satisfy all).
There are just so many lies you have
probably been told. But the truth
eventually comes out sooner or later. It
always does. And only the truth gives and
guarantees true freedom.

neighbours heard d chaotic sound dat was
emerging frm my room and were wondering
wat

and
I wondered if they were still alive, but when I
looked at them on the floor, I found out dat
one
was still moving, I struck again and dis time I
hit
harder with anger. That was how I killed d two
giant mosquitoes attempting to suck my

Yea they are same but acoustic is more official. resetting the strings for acoustic is more easy, because here you don't have to bother about the volume knobs and chord input positioning as found on bass or lead guitar.
